Prospective, Parallel-Group Randomised Controlled Trial Evaluating a Flexible Insulin Dose Calculator in Paediatric Type 1 Diabetes Management

Status: Recruiting

Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This is a multi-centre, prospective, randomized, open-label controlled trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a flexible digital insulin dose calculator in children under 12 years of age with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) managed with multiple daily injections (MDI). Participants will be stratified by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use and baseline HbA1c, and randomised to receive either standard care alone or standard care plus the insulin dose calculator tool for 6 months. The primary outcome is the change in HbA1c from baseline to 6 months. Secondary outcomes include CGM-derived glycaemic metrics (Time in Range, Time Below Range, Time Above Range, and Coefficient of Variation), total daily insulin dose (units/kg/day), healthcare provider contact frequency, and caregiver-reported usability and satisfaction. The study aims to determine whether the use of a structured digital decision-support tool improves glycaemic control and supports safer insulin dosing in paediatric patients with T1DM.

Participants
Target number of participants: 440
Treatments
Experimental: Flexible Insulin Dose Calculator + Standard Care
Participants receive standard diabetes care plus access to a flexible digital insulin dose calculator designed to support carbohydrate-based insulin dosing. Caregivers receive structured training on tool use at baseline. The tool integrates individualized insulin-to-carbohydrate ratios, correction factors, and glucose inputs to generate dosing recommendations. Participants are followed for 6 months during routine clinic visits.
No_intervention: Standard Care Alone
Participants receive routine standard diabetes care according to local clinical practice, including insulin dose adjustments based on carbohydrate counting principles, without access to the digital insulin dose calculator. Participants are followed for 6 months during routine clinic visits.
