Remote Type 1 Diabetes Research Study
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine are studying how glucose levels throughout the day impact the cognition of youth with Type 1 Diabetes.
Fast Facts
Have a Child Ages 9-16
Have had Type 1 Diabetes for at Least 1 Year
Compensation Provided
Conducted
Remotely
Study Background
The purpose of this study is to learn if changes in glucose throughout the day are related to the way youth think (‘cognition’) in their day-to-day lives.
To answer this question, youth with Type 1 Diabetes will be asked to complete short game-like cognitive tasks on a smartphone 3 times per day for 10 days in a row and will be asked to wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to measure glucose.
Youth 13 years old or older will also wear a Fitbit to measure sleep and physical activity. Youth and their parent will meet with the research team at the beginning of the study to get set up.

Additional Information
Researchers want to know if changes in glucose throughout the day impact how youth with Type 1 Diabetes think.
You and your child may qualify for this study if the following criteria are met.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Ages 9-16
- Have had Type 1 Diabetes for at least 1 year
- Willing to wear a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)
- Do not have a neurological disorder, learning disability, or take a medicine that affects the brain
- Speak fluent English
Once enrolled, this study involves:
- At the beginning of the study, youth with Type 1 diabetes and their parent will have an ‘Introductory Session’ with the research team to get set up for the study via Zoom.
Compensation is provided up to $110 for your participation.
Participants will be paid $15 for completing the Introductory Session.
They will then be paid $5 per day over the course of 10 days (for a total of $50), but they will only receive the money for that day if they complete at least 2 of the 3 cognitive game sessions.
Participants will also receive an additional $1.50 per day for completing all 3 tests ($0.50 per test), for a total of $45 across the 10 days.
There is no cost for you to participate in our research study.
