New program helps kids with type 1 diabetes take control
NCT ID NCT04336969
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a program called 4T (Teamwork, Targets, Technology, Tight Control) for children and teens newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The program uses continuous glucose monitor data to give personalized feedback to families. Researchers measured changes in blood sugar levels and how patients felt about using the device. The goal was to improve diabetes management and patient well-being.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 4T Education and Care (behavioral intervention using CGM feedback)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help children with new-onset type 1 diabetes better manage their blood sugar and improve their quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed study, so results are already known. The intervention is behavioral, so benefits may vary by family and may not apply to all populations.

Inclusion Criteria: (Inclusion criteria includes all youth with new onset T1D seen in the Stanford/Lucile Packard Children's Hospital ages 6 months-21 years of age. We intend to include all possible patients with the goal of maximizing generalizability of the results and 4T program. (NOTE: We will include children and families who speak all languages using the Stanford interpreter services so as to have the greatest generalizability of the research. Questionnaires will only be given to English and Spanish speakers.) * All individuals within one month of T1D diagnosis seen at the Stanford Children's Diabetes Clinic * Individuals who plan to receive follow up care at the Stanford Children's Diabetes Clinic * Individuals who agree to CGM data integration into the EMR for remote monitoring * Age: six months to \< 21 years of age * Patient or guardian must own and operate an Apple compatible device (e.g., iPhone or iPod Touch) to allow for the Dexcom app and CGM data transmission to the hospital server-based remote monitoring system. Dr Prahalad's LPCH Auxiliary Fund grant (in addition to the R18) has resources to support iPod Touch/iPhone purchases for participants who do not have these. o For the Exercise Ancillary study: 11 to \< 21 years of age (the activity tracker is not validated for younger children) English and Spanish-Speaking (Study 2) Exclusion Criteria: * Diabetes diagnosis other than T1D * Diagnosis of diabetes \> one month prior to initial visit * Individuals with the intention of obtaining diabetes care at another clinic * Individuals who do not consent to CGM use, CGM data integration, remote monitoring * Individuals \> 21 years of age
