Game-based Pediatric Diabetes Education

Description

Youth with T1D who comply with inclusion criteria and provide consent will be randomized to either the treatment arm (will be given a tablet with the game) or the control arm (no tablet will be given, no exposure to the game). Participants in both arms will continue receiving standard of care treatment. Participants will be asked to maintain food and activity logs and answer questionnaires about lifestyle.

Participants will be evaluated at baseline and at 3 months with interim contact in between. Devices will be downloaded to collect app usage data (game telemetry). Exposure time will be tracked by the application. Survey to elicit barriers and challenges encountered during the study will also be conducted.
