Can remote monitoring help teens with diabetes? new study says yes
NCT ID NCT04540536
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether real-time remote blood sugar monitoring and secure texting could help teens (ages 13-18) with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes improve their blood sugar levels. Twenty teens wore a continuous glucose monitor that shared their readings with the study team, who provided support via text messages for three months. The main goal was to see if this approach lowered their HbA1c, a key measure of long-term blood sugar control.
