Summary
This study tests whether a virtual education program called CGM Academy helps youth (ages 8-18) with type 1 diabetes improve their blood sugar control. Participants will receive an interactive workbook and four online group sessions with diabetes educators, while a comparison group gets standard care. The study tracks changes in HbA1c and other glucose metrics over 6 months, along with diabetes distress and family responsibilities.
