2128-P: Glycemic Outcomes following the Diabetes, Data & Devices (D3) Education Program: An Interrupted Time Series Evaluation in Youth with Type 1 Diabetes

Key Points

• This evaluation aims to assess the effects of the D3 Education Program on glycemic outcomes, specifically HbA1c levels in youth with type 1 diabetes.
• Conducted as a two-hour in-person class involving pediatric endocrinologists and CDCES.
• Utilized a quasi-experimental interrupted time series design to analyze the impact on HbA1c.
• Linear mixed-effects regression was applied to model HbA1c over time relative to the class.
• Mean baseline HbA1c was 8.6% with 27.6% of participants being newly diagnosed.
• Participants demonstrated a clinically meaningful immediate reduction in HbA1c following the intervention.
• Glycemic control stabilized post-class, although changes in post-class slopes were not statistically significant.
