Brief Summary
Our objective is to test the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of using behavioral economics incentives (BEI) in a novel, semi-automated intervention to target daily insulin BOLUS scores in adolescents with suboptimal insulin use.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Change in Glycated Hemoglobin- HbA1c
proxy measure of average glycemic levels
change in week 0 outcome at week 13
Change in Daily Insulin Bolus Score
valid, objective measure of insulin use in youth with type 1 diabetes; range 0-3, higher scores reflect greater adherence to mealtime insulin use
change in week 0 outcome at week 13
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Change in Glucose Time in Range (70-180 mg/dL)
change in week 0 outcome at week 13
Study Arms (2)
Coin2Dose
EXPERIMENTALBEI intervention that also combines automated text message reminders to dose for insulin; will test Contingent and Non-Contingent BEI
Standard Care Control
NO INTERVENTIONStandard care control group; will not receive automated text message reminders to dose for insulin nor BEI for daily BOLUS scores
Interventions
Behavioral Economics incentive intervention that also combines automated text message reminders to dose for insulin
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- adolescents between 11.0-17.0 years old and their parent/guardian;
- adolescents have a physician confirmed diagnosis of type 1 diabetes of at least 6 months duration;
- adolescents use an insulin pump for daily type 1 diabetes self-management;
- adolescents evidence sub-optimal daily BOLUS scores (a mean daily BOLUS score \<2.5)
You may not qualify if:
- adolescents who do not use an insulin pump; adolescents who have an allergy or sensitivity to the adhesive and/or skin preparation used for CGM;
- adolescents with a comorbid chronic condition (e.g., renal disease);
- adolescents and parents who do not speak English

Limitations and Caveats
Between June 6 and July 24, 2024, a data attribution issue occurred that affected our ability to accurately link youth participants with their insulin pump data. Data from participants impacted by this issue are not included in the current dataset.
