Summary

This early-phase study tested whether having a family member or friend as a 'Follower' who can see real-time glucose data, plus a personalized action plan, helps adults with type 1 diabetes avoid severe high blood sugar that can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). 22 adults at high risk for DKA participated. The goal was to see if this support system reduces time spent with very high glucose levels.
