Plain-language summary
The study will test an app and web-delivered intervention designed to improve glycemic control (HbA1c) among young adults with Type 1 diabetes. All participants will receive the "core" digital intervention, the SweetGoals app, focused on self-monitoring and goal setting. Efficacy of two independent intervention components (incentives for adherence and web health coaching) will be tested

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Have a diagnosis of T1D for \>18 months
* Have A1c ≥7.5%
* Report a visit with physician managing type 1 diabetes (T1D) within the previous 6 months
* Participants must use a glucometer or continuous glucose monitor compatible with Glooko.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Pregnancy or breast feeding
* Severe medical illness that would preclude participation (e.g., cystic fibrosis, developmental disability, severe cognitive impairment)
* Psychiatric illness that would preclude participation
* Diabetes diagnoses other than T1D (Type 2 Diabetes, Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young/MODY)
* Use of any medications known to impact glycemic control (oral or injectable corticosteroids, beta-blockers, antipsychotic medications such as risperidone).
* A history of known hemoglobinopathy, anemia, or transfusion (which could alter the validity of HbA1c measurement)
* Already being engaged in a psychological intervention targeting diabetes adherence.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
