NCT ID NCT04672655
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested a behavioral program called ONBOARD for 150 adults with type 1 diabetes who were not using continuous glucose monitors regularly. The program taught skills to overcome common barriers like managing data and social situations. The goal was to help participants better control their blood sugar and prepare for advanced diabetes technology.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- behavioral intervention (ONBOARD program)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help adults with type 1 diabetes feel more comfortable and confident using continuous glucose monitors, leading to better blood sugar management.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed behavioral study with 150 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program focuses on device use, not a cure or new treatment.
