Summary
This study tests a 10-lesson family cooking and diabetes education program called DICE for 32 youth aged 8-14 with type 1 diabetes who struggle with blood sugar control. The program aims to improve blood sugar management and reduce health disparities by teaching families practical nutrition and diabetes skills together. Researchers will measure changes in hemoglobin A1c to see if the program helps.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Diabetes Inspired Culinary Education (DICE) - a 10-lesson family and community-based culinary nutrition and diabetes education program
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this program could offer a practical, non-drug way to help at-risk youth with type 1 diabetes better manage their blood sugar and reduce health disparities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early study with only 32 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires family commitment, and its long-term benefits are not yet proven.
