Diabetes technology, such as insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring devices, can help improve glucose control for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), which keeps them at lower risk for diabetes complications, but many Latinx adolescents, who make up the largest marginalized ethnic group of youth with T1D in California, use these devices less often and have less optimal glucose control compared to White youth. In phase 1 of this project, we worked directly with Latinx youth, their families, and diabetes care team members in California to develop DREAM, Device use Reimagined through Education And Mentorship, a virtual peer group (VPG) intervention that will encourage and support the use of diabetes devices in Latinx adolescents with T1D. The goals for phase 2 (intervention) of this project are to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the stakeholder-informed VPG intervention, and evaluate clinical and person-centered outcomes.
