Peer power: mentors help young diabetics navigate adult care
NCT ID NCT04247620
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether trained peer mentors (ages 20-35) could help young adults (ages 17-25) with type 1 diabetes better control their blood sugar and smoothly move from pediatric to adult diabetes care. 144 participants were randomly assigned to receive peer support or usual care. The main goal was to see if blood sugar levels improved after 12 months. This is a disease management study, not a cure.
