Psychosocial outcomes in a diverse sample of youth and their families who initiated continuous glucose monitoring within the first year of type 1 diabetes diagnosis
Authors' conclusion
Initiation of CGM shortly after type 1 diabetes diagnosis does not have unintended negative psychological consequences. Longer duration of CGM use was associated with decreased youth distress and technology acceptance increased throughout the study.
Study context
- Population
- Youth with T1D who initiated continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) within the first year of diagnosis and their parents/guardians, 4T Study 1
- Participants
- 133 families
- Outcome
- PROs (diabetes distress, technology acceptance)
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- PRO completion rate
- 85.6%
- Youth had increased technology acceptance
- p = 0.046
- Each additional month of CGM use: 14% decrease in odds of diabetes distress, aOR (95% CI [0.76, 0.99]), p = 0.029
- 0.86
- Higher TIR associated with decreased diabetes distress
- p = 0.048
Observational data: associations, not effects.
