First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether an activity book called 'Think-Find-Solve' can improve insulin self-management in children aged 8-12 with type 1 diabetes. Forty children and their parents will take part, with one group using the book for three months. The goal is to see if the book helps kids learn correct insulin practices and build responsibility, potentially reducing serious complications.
