Treatment: Devices: Omnipod 5 or Medtronic 780G
Omnipod 5 and Medtronic 780G are hybrid closed loop devices that provide automated insulin delivery.

BEHAVIORAL: My HypoCOMPaSS Education
My HypoCOMPaSS is a brief, standardized psycho-educational program delivered in small groups. Facilitated discussions focus on advocating rigorous avoidance of hypoglycemia while maintaining time in target glycemic range.

BEHAVIORAL: HARPdoc Education
The HARPdoc program targets cognitions around hypoglycemia that act as barriers to hypoglycemia avoidance and recovery of awareness using motivational and cognitive approaches, delivered by diabetes educators, trained and supported by a clinical psychologist, in small group format.

Data sharing statement
Will individual participant data (IPD) for this trial be available (including data dictionaries)?
Yes
What data in particular will be shared?
The release data sets will be stored at the NIDDK Central Repository.

The release data sets will de-identified, i.e., they will not contain names, social security numbers, addresses, phone numbers, health care records, and/or similar protected health information. In addition, the release data sets will have an anonymous study ID that is linked to an individual only in the participant records at the Biostatistics Research Center at the Penn State College of Medicine.

Supporting document/s available: Study protocol, Statistical analysis plan (SAP), Informed consent form (ICF), Clinical study report (CSR), Analytic code
When will data be available (start and end dates)?
The timeline for data sharing from the Impaired Awareness of Hypoglycemia Consortium will meet NIH data sharing requirements, such as one year after the Consortium investigators have published the primary manuscript. The Biostatistics Research Center at the Penn State College of Medicine will make data available after the acceptance for publication of the main findings that address the specific aims of the study.
Available to whom?
Investigators external to the Consortium will be able to request the data from the NIDDK Central Repository. They will be required to show proof of their local IRB approval.
Available for what types of analyses?
How or where can data be obtained?
IPD available at link: https://repository.niddk.nih.gov/home/
