Real-Time Type 1 Diabetes Self-Management Decision-Making in Adolescents: Protocol for a Longitudinal Mixed Methods Study Using Text Messaging and Continuous Glucose Monitoring

While routine diabetes self-management behaviors and use of diabetes technologies are important for achieving glycemic goals, adolescents report low adherence to diabetes devices. This real-time mixed methods study will improve our understanding of daily decision-making and influences on diabetes self-management. Findings from this study will identify facilitators and barriers to optimal T1D self-management. In addition, results will inform future studies using real-time qualitative and mixed methods approaches.
