Type 1 diabetes is a common chronic medical condition among youth in the US that requires intensive glycemic management to prevent long-term morbidity and mortality. Current pediatric diabetes care in the US underutilizes automated insulin delivery (AID) systems, which are the best available tools for promoting tight glycemic control while reducing user burden. This proposal aims to support early and sustained use of AID systems by examining and optimizing conditions, evaluating glycemic outcomes, and identifying contextual facilitators and barriers of implementation.

Participants will be required to initiate AID system within 2-4 weeks of diabetes diagnosis, use a simplified meal announcement (SMA) strategy for insulin dosing. AID combines a continuous glucose monitor, an insulin pump, and a dosing algorithm to continuously adjust insulin delivery based on current and predicted future glucose levels.

Number of participants who started AID System within 2 weeks
Timing of AID initiation will be measured by the number of participants initiating AID system within 2 weeks of diabetes diagnosis
Time frame: 2 Weeks
Number of participants who continue to use AID System after 1 year
Sustained AID use will be measured by the number of participants using AID system after 1 year of diabetes diagnosis
Time frame: 1 year
