This trial is testing a flexible digital insulin dose calculator designed to help parents and caregivers figure out the correct insulin dose for children with type 1 diabetes who use daily injections. The calculator tool works by taking in your child's individual insulin settings, carbohydrate information from meals, and blood sugar readings, then recommending a specific insulin dose. The study will compare children who use the calculator along with standard care to those who receive standard care alone, to see if this tool helps achieve better blood sugar control.
Managing type 1 diabetes in children requires parents to do complex math several times a day—combining insulin-to-carbohydrate ratios, correction factors, and blood sugar readings to calculate each injection dose. This process is time-consuming, stressful, and easy to make mistakes with, which can lead to suboptimal blood sugar control. Researchers want to see whether a structured digital tool can reduce caregiver burden and improve blood sugar outcomes for families using insulin injections.

If you enroll, you and your child will be randomly assigned to either the calculator group or the standard care group for 6 months. If assigned to the calculator group, you'll receive training on how to use the digital tool at the start, then use it to help calculate insulin doses during meals and snacks at home. Both groups will attend routine clinic visits every few months, where the research team will check your child's blood sugar control and overall diabetes management. The study lasts 6 months total.
