Summary
This study tested whether an online peer support group on Discord is helpful and easy to use for teens aged 16-19 with type 1 diabetes. Ten participants joined the group for 3 months and gave feedback. The main goal was to see if teens would use it and like it, not to measure blood sugar changes.
