Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes who use Dexcom CGM and a closed-loop insulin pump and have a smartphone capable of receiving WhatsApp messages.

Probably not a fit

Individuals not using Dexcom CGM or a closed-loop insulin pump, or without access to WhatsApp-capable smartphones, may derive less or no benefit.

What this trial studies

The trial assesses whether a tele-diabetes remote monitoring system can improve glycemic control and quality of life for pediatric and adolescent patients with type 1 diabetes. Participants use a Dexcom CGM and a closed-loop insulin pump, with WhatsApp-based notifications guiding care. The study compares an intervention group receiving alerts to a control group to see effects on time in range, hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia, HbA1c, adherence, healthcare utilization, and costs. Outcomes include ER visits for DKA or severe hypoglycemia, hospitalizations, and overall medical costs. The study is conducted at Sheba Medical Center and evaluates feasibility and effectiveness of this mHealth approach in this population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the system could help children and youth achieve better glucose control and quality of life while reducing urgent health care needs.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies of mHealth and remote monitoring show potential benefits in diabetes management, but the use of WhatsApp-based alerts in this specific pediatric, Dexcom CGM, and closed-loop pump context is relatively novel.
