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 transition from pediatric to adult diabetes care. The 144 participants were randomly assigned to receive the peer mentor program or standard care. The main goal was to see if the program improved blood sugar levels (HbA1c) after 12 months.
