Summary
This study tests a survey called Spotlight AQ that teens and young adults with type 1 diabetes fill out before their clinic visit. The survey asks about their therapy, feelings, social life, and diabetes knowledge. Doctors then use the results to guide the visit. The goal is to see if this helps lower blood sugar levels (A1c) and if patients and doctors like using it. About 60 people aged 16-25 will take part.
