Summary

This trial will test an app and web intervention designed to help young adults with Type 1 diabetes better manage their blood sugar levels. The app provides self-monitoring tools and goal-setting assistance, while the web intervention offers health coaching and incentives for adherence.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adults with Type 1 diabetes who have had the condition for over 18 months and an A1c level of at least 7.5%. They must have seen their diabetes doctor in the last six months and use a glucose monitor compatible with Glooko. It's not for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those with severe illnesses like cystic fibrosis, severe cognitive issues, psychiatric conditions that affect participation, other types of diabetes, or if they're on certain meds that affect blood sugar.
What is being tested?
The study tests a digital intervention called SweetGoals app aimed at improving blood sugar control in Type 1 diabetics. Everyone gets the core app features focused on self-monitoring and goal setting. Additionally, it will evaluate whether incentives for sticking to treatment plans and web-based health coaching can further improve outcomes.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves using an app along with coaching and incentives rather than medication or medical procedures, there are no direct side effects as typically associated with drugs or surgery. However, participants may experience stress or frustration related to technology use or lifestyle changes encouraged by the program.
