The Glycemia Risk Index Predicts Performance of Diabetes Self-Management Habits in Youth With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Authors' conclusion
In youth using CGMs, GRI may serve as an easily obtainable metric to help identify youth with above target glycemia, and engagement/disengagement in the T1D self-management habits may inform clinicians with suitable interventions for improving glycemic outcomes.
Study context
- Population
- Youth with T1D using continuous glucose monitor (CGM), Midwest pediatric diabetes clinic network; aged 2.5 to 18.0 years (mean 13.8, SD 3.5), 50.8% male, 84.6% non-Hispanic White, 64.8% commercial insurance
- Participants
- 1,182 participants6,029 clinic visits
- Outcome
- Relationship between GRI (7 days of CGM data) and total number of T1D self-management habits (assessed ±7 days from GRI score)
Methodological detailsmixed-effects Poisson regression
- Mixed-effects Poisson regression
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
GRI and total number of self-management habits
- Glycemia Risk Index (GRI) scores decreased as total number of habits performed increased
- Adjusted for hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), age, race, ethnicity, insurance type; participant ID as random effect
Observational data: associations, not effects.
