Development of HypoPals: A Mobile Health Text Messaging Program Providing Hypoglycemia Symptom Detection Training and Hypoglycemia Psychoeducation to Improve Hypoglycemia Self-Management (Preprint) (original) (raw)

Abstract

BACKGROUND Hypoglycemia remains a challenge for roughly 25% of people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) despite using advanced technologies such as continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) or automated insulin delivery systems. Factors impacting hypoglycemia self-management behaviors (including reduced ability to detect hypoglycemia symptoms and unhelpful hypoglycemia beliefs) can lead to hypoglycemia development in T1D advanced diabetes technology users. OBJECTIVE To develop a scalable, personalized mobile health (mHealth) behavioral intervention program to improve hypoglycemia self-management and ultimately reduce hypoglycemia in T1D advanced diabetes technology users. METHODS Based on user-centered design principles, a multidisciplinary team (including clinical and health psychologists, diabetes care and education specialists, endocrinologists, mHealth interventionists and computer engineers, qualitative researchers, and patient partners) jointly developed an mHealth text messaging hypoglycem...
