Situational awareness predicts self-management of type I diabetes in adolescents and young adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Using a hybrid closed-loop system predicts higher time in target glucose range (TIR) for adolescents and young adults with type I diabetes (T1D). However, patients do not always use these systems effectively for self-management. Based on Two Minds Theory, we hypothesized that more automatic and proactive ways of interacting with the system would be associated with higher TIR, whereas more reactive responses to system prompts would not.

Method

We recruited 20 patients with T1D from a diabetes clinic. Participants used the Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ technology (Control-IQ) hybrid closed-loop system. For 2 weeks, they also completed daily surveys about T1D self-management, plus triggered surveys each time they interacted with Control-IQ about their reasons and p
