Summary
This trial is testing a mobile health program ("HypoPals") that sends personalized texts to help people detect low blood sugar & consider how they think of it. It will randomize participants to receive basic hypoglycemia education texts, Symptom Detection Training, or both.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with Type 1 Diabetes who've had severe low blood sugar in the past year or frequent low sugars, use a Dexcom CGM regularly, have completed diabetes education, and can read English texts. They should be willing to share glucose data and not be pregnant or planning pregnancy soon, have untreated hormonal issues, uncontrolled mental disorders, cognitive dysfunctions or be in other diabetes studies.
What is being tested?
The 'HypoPals' mobile health program uses continuous glucose monitoring data to send personalized texts aiming to improve hypoglycemia management. Participants will get basic education messages plus additional training based on their group assignment after being randomly placed into one of four groups: detection training only, advanced education only, both trainings or usual care.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this study involves educational text messages rather than medication there are no direct medical side effects; however participants may experience stress from increased attention to their condition or frustration if technical issues occur with the mobile health program.
