Summary

This study tested a program called FAM, where adults with type 1 diabetes at high risk for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) shared their real-time glucose data with a family member or friend (a "Follower") and received personalized education. The goal was to reduce time spent with very high blood sugar (≥250 mg/dL), a key risk factor for DKA. The pilot study enrolled 22 participants and used continuous glucose monitors to track results.
