Utilizing Community Health Workers as Diabetes Technology Coaches for Children With Type 1 Diabetes Using Automated Insulin Delivery

Sponsor: University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center

Summary

This study uses community health workers (CHW) as diabetes technology coaches for African American children using automated insulin delivery systems but have an HbA1c of 8% or higher. Families will meet with the CHW monthly x 6 months with additional visits as needed. All participants and parents/guardians will fill out questionnaires at the beginning and end of the 6 month intervention in addition to an interview at 6 months. This will be followed by 6 months with no extra help from the CHW, but we will continue to follow CGM and pump download data.
