Summary

This pilot study tested whether shared medical appointments (group visits) could help underserved children aged 8–12 with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes. The 14 participants attended group visits every 3 months for a year, focusing on using diabetes technology and improving blood sugar control. The study measured how many families agreed to join, how often they attended, and their satisfaction with the program.
