New app could make insulin dosing safer for type 1 diabetes patients
NCT ID NCT06974201

Summary
This study tests a smartphone app called Diabetes:M that helps people with type 1 diabetes figure out the right insulin dose based on their food intake and blood sugar levels. Thirty adults will use the app for two weeks and compare their blood sugar control to a two-week period without the app. The goal is to see if the app improves time spent in a healthy blood sugar range and reduces dangerous lows or highs.
