Diabetes technologies that use machine learning have significant potential to simplify this process and provide better decision support, but often rely on cumbersome data logging and cognitively demanding reflection on collected data. We set out to use co-design to identify opportunities for machine learning to support diabetes self-management in everyday settings. However, over nine months of interviews and design workshops with 15 people with T1D, we had to re-assess our assumptions about user needs. Our participants reported confidence in their personal knowledge and rejected machine learning based decision support when coping with routine situations, but highlighted the need for technological support in the context of unfamiliar or unexpected situations (holidays, illness, etc.). However, these are the situations where prior data are often lacking and drawing data-driven conclusions is challenging. Reflecting this challenge, we provide suggestions on how machine learning and other artificial intelligence approaches, e.g., expert systems, could enable decision-making support in both routine and unexpected situations. |  |\n\n1. Introduction  \nAmong major health conditions, diabetes is one of the most common, affecting over 400 million people worldwide (International Diabetes Federation, 2017). Type 1 diabetes (T1D), which affects 5%–10% of those with diabetes, is an autoimmune condition requiring frequent injections of insulin to maintain blood glucose (BG) levels within a safe range. Elevated levels (hyperglycaemia) can lead to long-term complications, such as blindness, kidney failure, or nerve damage, while severely low BG levels (hypoglycaemia) can lead to unconsciousness, seizure, coma, and – in rare cases – death (McGill and Ahmann, 2017). While clinicians can play an important role in supporting diabetes care, effective daily management relies primarily on an individual’s habits and management decisions (Funnell and Anderson, 2004). Selfmanaging diabetes typically involves self-monitoring BG levels and lifestyle factors such as food and physical activity multiple times per day, analysing this information, and dynamically adjusting numerous factors accordingly (Klonoff, 2012). However, maintaining this balance with the demands of daily life is challenging, resulting in many individuals failing to meet clinical guidelines (Miller et al., 2015). It is  \n∗ Corresponding author.  \nE-mail address: [stawarzk@cardiff.ac.uk](stawarzk@cardiff.ac.uk) (K.
