New app could help kids with diabetes dose insulin safely
NCT ID NCT07427134
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a digital tool that helps children under 12 with type 1 diabetes calculate their insulin doses. The tool considers factors like carbs, blood sugar levels, and trends. Researchers will compare blood sugar control (HbA1c) over 6 months between kids using the tool plus standard care and those receiving standard care alone. The goal is to see if the tool improves safety and glucose management.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- flexible digital insulin dose calculator (behavioural intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this tool could help children with type 1 diabetes achieve better blood sugar control and reduce dangerous highs and lows.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage trial. The tool may not improve outcomes significantly, and it requires consistent use and caregiver training.
