Brief Summary
The purpose of this research is to see how well a special education plan using continuous ketone monitoring (DGK) works to lower the risk of a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) taking SGLT2 inhibitors (a type of medication commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes). This special education plan is compared to a general education plan and considers the higher risk of DKA when using medicines like SGLT2 inhibitors.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Ketone events with Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) >1.5 mmol/L
Number of ketone events with BOHB \> 1.5 mmol/L for 15 consecutive minutes, as measured by the DGK. The event will end when BOHB is \< 1.5 for 15 consecutive minutes. These events will be measured during the risk mitigation phase (Period 3 and Period 4) of the study.
6 months
Study Arms (1)
People with Type 1 Diabetes
OTHERInterventions
Participants will be asked to take the SGLT-2 inhibitor.
An Insulin withdrawal test (IWT) will be given to participants on an SGLT-2 inhibitor. Participants will be monitored.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Men and nonpregnant women ≥18 years and older
- Diagnosis of T1D according to American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria

You may not qualify if:
- Pregnancy, lactation or planning to become pregnant
- Any form of diabetes other than T1D
- People with T1D using weekly insulin (when approved)
- Use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors within 4 weeks prior to screening
- Chronic systematic corticosteroids (\>4 consecutive weeks) within 6 months before screening
- History of diabetic ketoacidosis within 6 months of screening
- History of multiple (≥ 3 infections) genital mycotic infections within 6 months of screening
- Hypotension at screening is defined as systolic blood pressure \< 90 and diastolic blood pressure \< 60 with symptoms of low blood pressure (confusion, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, heart palpitations)
- History of a level 3 hypoglycemic event (as defined by ADA criteria) within 3 months of screening
- Recent myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure within 3 months prior to screening

- Cancer treatment (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer treated by excision, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or uterus, ductal breast cancer in situ, resected non-metastatic breast or prostate cancer) within one year of screening
- Active Hepatitis B or C, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV infection controlled with suppressive medications is allowed) or tuberculosis
- +6 more criteria
