Summary:
In youth with recently diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1D) from under resourced populations,
early initiation of automated insulin delivery (AID) systems significantly improved feasibility and acceptability compared to historical low rates of technology adoption and suboptimal glycemic outcomes, though it was associated with the need for tailored clinical support and resources to ensure continued use.
| PICO | Description |
|---|---|
| Population | Youth with recently diagnosed type 1 diabetes from underresourced populations historically experiencing lower adoption of diabetes technology and poor glycemic control. |
| Intervention | Early initiation of automated insulin delivery (AID) systems shortly after diagnosis. |
| Comparison | Historical standard care characterized by delayed or limited use of diabetes technology and less optimal glycemic outcomes. |
| Outcome | Early AID use was feasible and acceptable, leading to improved technology uptake and potentially better glycemic outcomes. However, sustained use required personalized clinical support and resources provided to families soon after diagnosis. |
