At the conclusion of this project, investigators will have assessed the effectiveness of home-based telemedicine for improving multiple important clinical and patient-centered outcomes in a high-risk pediatric cohort with T1D.
Aim 1. To test the hypothesis that home-based telemedicine is a feasible and acceptable method of care delivery for patients with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes (T1D) currently cared for at the University of California, Davis (UCD) Pediatric Endocrinology clinic. Specifically:
A) Patients and families choose to participate in telemedicine visits as a supplement to in-person care; B) Patients and families can utilize secure, internet-based platforms to upload and share glucose meter data and to establish an audio-video connection with a diabetes specialist in their home settings; C) Patients and families are satisfied with the experience of home-based telemedicine and would choose to receive future diabetes care via this modality.
Aim 2. To test the hypothesis that using home-based telemedicine, these patients can complete more frequent visits with a diabetes specialist than they previously completed via office visits alone.
Aim 3. To test the hypothesis that increased contact with a diabetes specialist via home-based telemedicine will lead to significant improvement in glycemic control for these patients.
Aim 4. To evaluate the effects of increased contact with a diabetes specialist via home-based telemedicine on high-cost health care utilization - specifically emergency department (ED) visits and diabetes-related hospitalizations.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Telemedicine Intervention | Experimental | All participants will receive the study intervention, which consists of home-based telemedicine visits with a diabetes specialist, at a frequency determined by the patient's degree of glycemic control (every 4, 6, or 8 weeks). |

Investigators will compare the mean number of ED visits and mean number of diabetes-related hospitalizations for patients in the cohort |
| 24-months |
| Feasibility of home-based telemedicine | Investigators will evaluate the feasibility of home-based telemedicine for the patient population by the percent of eligible patients who enroll in the study and the percent of enrolled patients who complete the study | 12-months |
| Acceptability of home-based telemedicine | Investigators will evaluate the acceptability of home-based telemedicine for the patient population by the percent of those completing the study who express satisfaction with the telemedicine experience. | 12-months |
