This protocol is an intervention study to determine the best education and monitoring strategy for children ages 2-20 years with pre-symptomatic type 1 diabetes (T1D) because there currently exists no clinical guidelines for management of these children in early-stage T1D. This study hypothesizes that the trajectory of T1D can be changed, substantially reducing HbA1c and risk of DKA at diagnosis, through (1) careful monitoring of children progressing from stage 2 to stage 3 T1D using continuous glucose monitor (CGM) technology, (2) staged education targeted to assist families in recognizing evolving dysglycemia, and (3) addressing glycemic abnormalities with early initiation of insulin.
Specific Aims:
Perform randomized controlled trial of intensive follow-up of stage 2 T1D participants utilizing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology and early education of families to guide early insulin therapy with the goals of:
maintaining HbA1c less than 7.0%. avoiding adverse outcomes: ER visits, hospitalizations, DKA and severe hypoglycemia improving diabetes knowledge through optimal planned education as opposed to 'a crash course' at unexpected diagnosis event.
evaluating patient/caregiver satisfaction with diabetes care received evaluating impact of activity on glycemic profile Collect longitudinal biomarkers of beta-cell stress and dysfunction in stage 2 T1D.
Use longitudinal CGM data combined with "gold-standard" OGTT and HbA1c measures to provide evidence for CGM-based diagnostic criteria for stage 2 and stage 3 T1D.
Perform cost-analysis of intensive follow up protocol.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intervention | Experimental | Early diabetes management and education including focused education based on pathophysiology of type 1 diabetes, factors which impact blood glucose, and effects of insulin using data from continuous glucose monitoring device (CGM) worn unblinded at least 20 days per month with interpretation and education on results. Early initiation of insulin therapy, when warranted based on a pattern of prolonged or repeated high blood glucose values. |
|
| Control | Active Comparator | Usual education and advice on glycemic surveillance based on protocols of TEDDY/DAISY/ASK (ongoing studies at BDC). This includes: blood glucose checks 2-3 times per month, participant-led contact with study personnel when abnormalities are noted and transition to clinical care when criteria for clinical type 1 diabetes are met. |

| Parental anxiety regarding diabetes risk | Items from a questionnaire to study the psychological impact of diabetes risk. A 6-item short form of the state portion of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) will be used to assess parent anxiety about the child's diabetes risk at a single point in time. For example, parents were asked how often they feel "worried" specifically when they think about their child's risk of developing diabetes. Responses were scored on a 4-point scale and the 6-item score was then converted to a total score comparable to the 20-item State Anxiety Inventory score. Parents with STAI scores > 40 were considered to be highly anxious. STAI scores will be analyzed using linear mixed models incorporating data from all three time points, with an interaction between group and time to test for differences in change in outcome over time. Contrast statements will be used to test for comparisons of intervention vs controls. | Baseline, 6 and 12 months |
| Parental depression symptoms. | Items from a questionnaire to study the psychological impact of diabetes risk. A 6-item set of questions quering frequency of depressive symptoms will be used to assess parent depressive symptoms at a single point in time. For example, parents will be asked about frequency of crying spells on a 4 point scale from (1) Not at all to (4) All of the time. Responses are scored from 6 to 24, with higher score indicating increased depressive symptoms. | Baseline, 6 and 12 months |
| Parental perception of ability to impact diabetes risk. | Items from a questionnaire to study the psychological impact of diabetes risk. A 3 item survey, each item answered on a likert scale from 1-5: (1) strongly agree to (5) strongly disagree.

Risk modification scores will be analyzed using linear mixed models incorporating data from all three time points, with an interaction between group and time to test for differences in change in outcome over time. Contrast statements will be used to test for comparisons of intervention vs control | Baseline, 6 and 12 months |
