Measure
Standard Diabetes Care
Patients will attend diabetes clinic as usual, once every 3 months.
Intensive Diabetes Clinic
Patients will attend diabetes clinic on a monthly basis for 4 months in a row. Each patient will have a 30 minute visit with a physician, 30 minutes dedicated to diabetes education, and 45 minutes with a child psychologist. Diabetes related psychological counseling and education: The psychology intervention is based in part on an intervention to maintain parental support for diabetes care in adolescence which was developed by Anderson and colleagues (1999). The first session will include education to parents and children regarding the importance of sharing responsibility for treatment related tasks. The second session will include a discussion of the treatment sharing plan developed at the first visit and problems that may have occurred will be discussed. The third session will include a discussion of planning for possible future problems. Visits 1, 2, and 3 will include 30 minutes of diabetes education.
Intensive Diabetes Clinic Plus CGM
Patients in this group will include all procedures as listed for group 2 (intensive diabetes clinic) in addition to wearing a CGM for 3-5 days each month. Patients will also have an additional 30 minutes with a psychology graduate student dedicated to adherence with the CGM.

Timeframe: Total from baseline to visit 4

CGM downloads at baseline and visit 4 will be used to tabulate the number of episodes of blood glucoses \< 70 mg/dL. At each visit patients will be asked to recall any episodes of severe hypoglycemia that occurred since the last visit. Data from the continuous glucose monitors will be used to evaluate the percent of time that patients are below 70 mg/dL and the number of glucose excursions below 70 mg/dL. Total number of excursions under 70 mg/dL from baseline to visit 4 will be added together.

Diabetes Self Management Profile, given to participant (child) at baseline and visit 4. Minimum score zero, maximum score 88. A higher score indicates better adherence. The DSMP is a 10-15 minute, 25-question, validated, structured interview of adherence with diabetes self-management tasks administered separately to parents and youth. It was verbally administered by one pediatric endocrinologist and one trained research assistant. It assesses self-management of exercise and hypoglycemia (7 questions), carbohydrate counting and insulin dose calculation (6 questions), blood glucose and ketone monitoring (8 questions), and insulin timing and dosing (4 questions).

The Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire was adapted from Butler et al. It is a written questionnaire, self administered independently to parents and children to assess their knowledge about diabetes management. It includes 37 multiple choice questions assessing basic information about diabetes, how to deal with diabetes-related tasks, and management of hypothetical situations. A total score out of 37 possible points is computed for diabetes knowledge, score can range from 0-37. A higher score indicates higher knowledge.
