Improving access to advanced diabetes technology for people with Type 1 Diabetes
Official title: Implementing Best Practice Advisories to Reduce Inequities in Technology Use for People With Type 1 Diabetes
Run by T1D Exchange, United States · NCT06931275 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new system to help doctors prescribe advanced diabetes tools more fairly for people with Type 1 Diabetes, especially focusing on reducing differences in access for non-white patients.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic individuals aged 2 years and older with a diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes for at least 6 months.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are already using advanced diabetes technologies at baseline will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study aims to create a standardized system within electronic medical records (EMRs) to ensure equitable prescription and documentation of advanced diabetes technologies for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). It will implement an EMR-based Best Practice Advisory (BPA) to guide healthcare providers in prescribing continuous glucose monitoring and automated insulin delivery systems. The study will assess whether this BPA can effectively reduce racial disparities in the use of these technologies and will gather insights from patients regarding their experiences and perspectives. The effectiveness will be evaluated by comparing ADT use among non-white patients at intervention centers versus matched control centers over a 12-month period.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce racial disparities in access to advanced diabetes technologies for patients with Type 1 Diabetes.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in using EMR-based interventions to improve healthcare equity, making this approach promising but still relatively novel in the context of diabetes technology.
