Summary
This study tests a program called SHIFT2 that helps teens and young adults with type 1 diabetes prepare for the switch from pediatric to adult medical care. Participants work with a transition coach and receive messages to encourage self-management. The goal is to see if this support improves blood sugar levels, readiness for adult care, and clinic attendance.
