DiaBuddy: AI-Enabled Digital Self-Management for Youth With Type 1 Diabetes

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether DiaBuddy, a digital self-management app, can help children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes better manage their condition and reduce the burden experienced by their caregivers. The study will include children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years with Type 1 diabetes who live in Pakistan. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does using DiaBuddy along with usual diabetes care improve diabetes self-management and adherence? * Does using DiaBuddy along with usual diabetes care reduce caregiver burden? * Does using DiaBuddy affect blood sugar control, diabetes-related distress, and other diabetes-related health outcomes? * Is DiaBuddy acceptable and useful for children, adolescents, and their caregivers? Researchers will compare participants who use DiaBuddy along with their usual diabetes care with participants who receive usual diabetes care alone. Participants will: * Use DiaBuddy to record and review information related to their diabetes, including blood glucose and self-management activities. * Receive diabetes education, reminders, and self-management support through the app. * Complete questionnaires about diabetes self-management, diabetes-related experiences, and caregiver burden. * Have blood sugar control assessed through laboratory-verified HbA1c measurements. * Attend scheduled follow-up assessments at approximately 3 and 6 months. * Report relevant diabetes-related health events, such as hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, emergency visits, and hospitalization.
