Caregiver treatment adherence was assessed using a blood glucose log. Subjects and caregivers recorded blood glucose levels and the amount/type of insulin given. This data was used to calculate adherence as a percentage ranging from 0% (no adherence) to 100% (full adherence).

Population: Number of participants analyzed include subjects that had visits in-person at 1 month and 4 months post-randomization.

Caregiver anxiety was measured with the "parental stress scale". Caregivers completed the "parental stress scale" at initial enrollment and at each clinic follow up visit. The Parental Stress Scale includes 18 questions that are rated from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Scoring ranges from 18 - 90. The higher the score, the higher the stress and anxiety level.

The GV was calculated in all subjects using the average blood glucose levels collected from the daily blood glucose paper log. A subjective qualification system was used to label each subject's GV based on their blood glucose levels and an established glucose monitoring (GM) data system. Subjects are considered to have appropriate GV if their blood glucose levels are in the range of 80 mg/dL - 180 mg/dL. Percentage of participants within each specific average BG range is shown.
