Summary

This study tests whether regular video or phone calls with a nurse (tele-nursing) can help teenagers with type 1 diabetes improve their blood sugar control, feel more confident managing their condition, and reduce anxiety. Participants aged 12–18 receive diabetes education both in person and weekly via tele-nursing. Researchers track changes in HbA1c (a blood sugar measure), self-efficacy, quality of life, and anxiety over six months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: tele-nursing educational intervention
What this could lead to: If effective, tele-nursing could offer a convenient way for teens with type 1 diabetes to get ongoing support and improve their health without frequent clinic visits.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with 67 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention requires consistent internet access and may not work for everyone.
