Summary

This study tests if caring for a pet fish, combined with family communication training, helps teens aged 10-13 with type 1 diabetes check their blood sugar more often and keep it in a healthier range. The idea is that pairing fish feeding with blood sugar checks makes the routine more fun and consistent. The study involves 60 participants and focuses on improving daily management, not curing the disease.
