NCT ID NCT07689318
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a mobile app that provides structured diabetes education can help adolescents with type 1 diabetes improve their blood sugar control, confidence, and self-care habits. Participants aged 10 to 19 with type 1 diabetes and an HbA1c of 7% or higher will use the app for 12 weeks. The app covers topics like insulin, diet, exercise, and monitoring blood glucose. Researchers will measure changes in HbA1c, self-efficacy, and self-care behaviors to see if the app makes a difference.

- What this could lead to
- If effective, this app-based education could offer a scalable, low-cost way to help teens with type 1 diabetes better manage their blood sugar and daily care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study (84 participants) with a behavioral intervention, so results may not generalize. The app's impact on HbA1c may be modest or short-lived.
