An interventional study of CGM + Family Behavioral Intervention and Standard CGM in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, sponsored by Jaeb Center for Health Research. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 2 Years to 7 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-16.
Sponsored by Jaeb Center for Health Research · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of CGM alone and CGM combined with a family behavioral intervention with a control group using home blood glucose monitoring (BGM) alone.
Although prior studies have not demonstrated that continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use results in improved glycemic control in children \<8 years of age, many of the barriers to CGM efficacy in this age group may have been due to problems in the wearability and accuracy of prior generation devices, as well as to the setting of glycemic targets aimed primarily at preventing hypoglycemia at all costs. There may also be behavioral barriers to consistent and effective CGM use in this age range. The goal of this study is to assess the impact of CGM alone and CGM combined with a family behavioral intervention focused on supporting CGM use on glycemic control in very young children with T1D compared with usual care without CGM.

Exclusion Criteria:
The presence of any of the following diseases:
CGM training for CGM groups using a standard curriculum will take place at the 1, 3 and 6 week visits in addition to the training at baseline. The family behavioral intervention will be delivered by a study coordinator (separate coordinator from the CGM instruction) at the 1, 3, 6, 13 and 19 week visits and is expected to take approximately 30 minutes.
Behavioral: CGM + Family Behavioral Intervention
Each participant will be asked to use a CGM sensor on a daily basis, inserting a new sensor as needed with a maximum of 7 days of wear per sensor. A home BGM will be used for calibration of the CGM sensor. Additional BGM glucose measurements may be performed by the participant at any time, particularly prior to making a real-time management decision based on the CGM glucose reading. Participants will be instructed to use the CGM as per the FDA labeling.
Device: Standard CGM
A BGM will be used for a finger stick blood glucose check with a recommendation of at least 4 times a day. BGM data will be downloaded and reviewed with the participant at each visit.
use of CGM combined with a CGM focused family behavioral intervention and to assess CGM adherence
Also known as: FBI
use of CGM alone to assess CGM adherence
Time in Glucose Range 70-180
The primary outcome will be three 2 group comparisons of the change from baseline in the percentage of sensor values in the target range (70-180 mg/dL), in an ANCOVA model adjusted for the baseline value and factors used to stratify randomization with clinical site as a random effect. Seven days of sensor glucose values during the week prior to the 6, 13, 19 and 26 week clinic visits will be used in analysis for the CGM groups to match up with the blinded CGM placed at each visit in the control group. The CGM data will be pooled across each visit where CGM data are collected during follow up for the primary analysis.

WHO-5 Well Being Index
Survey containing 5 questions with possible responses 0-5. The raw score is calculated by summing the responses. The raw score ranges from 0-25. A percentage score ranging from 0 to 100 is obtained by multiplying the raw score by 4. A percentage score of 0 represents worst possible, whereas a score of 100 represents best possible quality of life.
Time frame: 6 Months
Hypoglycemia Fear Survey Total Score
Survey containing 26 questions with possible responses 0-4. Total score is calculated by taking the mean of the non-missing responses and multiplying by 25 to put on the scale 0-100. A higher score indicates more fear.
Time frame: 6 Months
Hypoglycemia Fear Survey Worry Subscale
Survey containing 26 questions with possible responses 0-4. Worry subscale score is calculated by taking the mean of the non-missing responses to questions 11-26 and multiplying by 25 to put on the scale 0-100. A higher score indicates more fear.
Time frame: 6 Months
Problem Areas in Diabetes - Parent (PAID-PR)
Survey containing 18 questions with possible responses 0-4. Total score is calculated by reverse scoring each item, then taking the mean of the non-missing responses. The score is then multiplied by 25 to put on the scale 0-100. A higher total score indicates more burden.
Time frame: 6 Months
Diabetes Family Impact Survey
Survey containing 15 questions with possible responses 0-3. Total score is calculated by taking the mean of the non-missing responses. Then multiply by 100 and divide by 3 to put on the scale 0-100. A higher total score indicates more negative impact.
