Summary

This study tested a group telehealth program called TREAT-ED for young adults aged 18-26 with type 1 diabetes.

Active substance: group telehealth diabetes self-management education and support
What this could lead to: If successful, this approach could make it easier for young adults with type 1 diabetes to get the education and support they need to manage their condition.
What could go wrong: This is a small pilot study with only 49 participants and no control group, so results may not apply to everyone. The program may not lead to lasting improvements in diabetes control.
