Intensive remote monitoring versus conventional care in type 1 diabetes: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: While frequent contact with diabetes care providers may improve glycemic control among patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), in-person visits are labor-intensive and costly. This study was conducted to assess the impact of an intensive remote therapy (IRT) intervention for pediatric patients with T1D.

Methods: Pediatric patients with T1D were randomized to IRT or conventional care (CC) for 6 months.
