Interventions

  • AI-Powered Carbohydrate Counting Educational Platform — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will receive access to an AI-powered carbohydrate counting educational platform designed for parents of children with type 1 diabetes. The platform provides interactive carbohydrate counting education, personalized educational guidance, carbohydrate estimation practice, natural-language question answering, and scenario-based learning. Participants will use the platform for 12 weeks in addition to enhanced usual diabetes care. All educational content is developed and supervised by pediatric endocrinologists, certified diabetes educators, and registered dietitians. The platform functions as an educational support tool only and does not provide medical advice or insulin dosing recommendations.

Study Details

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether an AI-powered carbohydrate counting educational platform can help parents of children with type 1 diabetes improve their carbohydrate counting skills and diabetes management. The study will include parents or primary caregivers of children aged 2-12 years with type 1 diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the AI-powered educational platform feasible, acceptable, and easy for parents to use? * Can the platform improve carbohydrate counting accuracy, parental confidence in diabetes management, and diabetes outcomes compared with usual education alone? Researchers will compare parents who receive access to the AI-powered carbohydrate counting educational platform plus usual diabetes education with parents who receive usual diabetes education alone to see whether the AI-supported approach provides additional benefits. Participants will: * Complete baseline assessments, including questionnaires and a carbohydrate counting test. * Be randomly assigned to either the AI-supported education group or the usual education group. * Use the assigned educational resources for 12 weeks. * Complete a follow-up assessment at 6 weeks and a final assessment at 12 weeks. * Provide information about their child's diabetes management, including HbA1c and glucose monitoring data. * Complete questionnaires about confidence, usability, and satisfaction with the educational support they receive. The AI platform is designed to provide educational support only and does not replace medical advice, insulin dosing decisions, or routine diabetes care provided by healthcare professionals.

Arms

  • Experimental: AI-Powered Carbohydrate Counting Educational Platform + Enhanced Usual Care
    Participants receive access to an AI-powered carbohydrate counting educational platform in addition to enhanced usual diabetes care. The platform provides interactive educational support, carbohydrate counting practice, personalized feedback, scenario-based learning, and educational guidance under dietitian and diabetes specialist oversight. Participants also receive standard diabetes education materials and routine clinical care for 12 weeks.
  • No Intervention: Enhanced Usual Care Alone
    Participants receive enhanced usual diabetes care consisting of standard diabetes education provided by their clinical care team, printed carbohydrate counting educational materials, portion size reference materials, educational PDF resources, and routine clinical care. Participants do not receive access to the AI-powered carbohydrate counting educational platform
