Local helpers aim to ease burden for families of kids with diabetes

NCT ID NCT04238949

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a trained community health worker to the healthcare team can help children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The worker will provide one year of personalized support to families, helping them navigate challenges like accessing food, medicine, and healthcare. Researchers want to see if this extra support leads to better blood sugar control and improved well-being for the children and their families.
