New tech trial aims to transform diabetes care for african youth

NCT ID NCT05454176

Summary

This study is testing whether a wearable glucose monitor helps children and young adults in Uganda manage their type 1 diabetes better than standard finger-prick tests. Half the participants will use the monitor for a year, while the other half will use finger-prick tests for six months before switching. Researchers will measure how much time blood sugar stays in a healthy range and analyze whether the monitor is a cost-effective tool for a lower-resource country.
