Timeline
Interventions
The psychology intervention is based in part on an intervention to maintain parental support for diabetes care in adolescence which was developed by Anderson and colleagues (1999). The first session will include education to parents and children regarding the importance of sharing responsibility for treatment related tasks. The second session will include a discussion of the treatment sharing plan developed at the first visit and problems that may have occurred will be discussed. The third session will include a discussion of planning for possible future problems. Visits 1, 2, and 3 will include 30 minutes of diabetes education.
Patients in the intensive diabetes clinic plus CGM group will wear the iPro after the baseline visit followed by every month for 4 months.
