Situational awareness predicts self-management of type I diabetes in adolescents and young adults.

Adolescents who interacted less intensively and more proactively with a hybrid closed-loop system had better glucose control. Accurate perception of glucose mattered less than believing one's glucose might be too high; it is possible that situationally aware participants detected increases before their glucose went out of range. Better measures of automaticity are needed. Hybrid closed-loop systems help adolescents and young adults self-manage T1D when used in a situationally aware way.
