About this study

In plain language

This study compares online diabetes lessons with usual education for youth ages 8–18 who have type 1 diabetes and wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), a device that tracks blood sugar. It tests whether the lessons help reduce blood sugar ups and downs.

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effects of a virtual education curriculum in blood glucose variation of youth with type 1 diabetes wearing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Do participants undertaking the proposed curriculum present improved glucose variation than participants of standard education? * Explore relationships between participant's glycemic outcomes with diabetes distress, diabetes family responsibilities, and number of hours of diabetes education. Participants in the intervention group will: * receive an interactive workbook with problem-based learning scenarios and video links about CGM and glucose management strategies. * participate in four in-depth online group sessions with diabetes care and education specialists * complete questionnaires three times: at the time of study enrollment, week 4 and 6 months. Participants in the comparison group will: * receive standard education provided to all patients at CHLA * complete questionnaires three times: at the time of study enrollment, week 4 and 6 months.
