GO TEAM: Glucose Optimization Through Technology Assisted Management
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Black/African American children and young adults with type 1 diabetes are less likely to use diabetes technologies, such as continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps, and automated insulin delivery systems, compared to White children and young adults. The investigators are working to find ways to make sure that all patients with type 1 diabetes are equally able to use these technologies. The purpose of this study is to find out if a new computer program for the diabetes team, along with a smartphone app (called Glucosano) for patients/parents, as well as a community health worker, are accepted and used by Black/African American patients and parents living with type 1 diabetes, and if this can help decrease racial disparities in the use of diabetes technologies.

Active Comparator: Diabetes Dashboard and Community Health Worker Participants diabetes technology devices will be linked to a remote patient monitoring dashboard and will have access to a Smartphone application, as well as scheduled and as needed visits with a community health worker. |
Other: Glucosano
Glucosano is a remote patient monitoring diabetes dashboard with a patient facing Smartphone application
Behavioral: Community Health Worker diabetes technology coach
Community Health Workers will work with participants as a diabetes technology coach during scheduled and as needed visits
