Abstract:
Achieving optimal glycemic control in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is challenging even when wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). We measured the impact of eddii, a gamified real-time app connected to a CGM, on glycemic control. An open label, eight-week randomized controlled trial (RCT) compared glycemic control utilizing the gamified CGM app connected to Dexcom G6 with only Dexcom G6 usage. Children with T1D using Dexcom G6 were enrolled (N=92, ages 5-12 years). Time-in-range (TIR) data were collected four weeks prior to and during the study period. The gamified CGM app utilization effect was measured by difference-in-difference (D-I-D) models. The TIR and time-above-range (TAR) improved among users of the gamified CGM app; 5.38% higher and 5.80% lower than controls (P = .001 and P = .019, respectively).
