NCT ID NCT06786130
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at how caring for a child recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes affects caregivers' work, daily life, and well-being. About 100 Canadian caregivers will fill out online questionnaires about their productivity, healthcare use, and quality of life. No treatment is given—the goal is simply to measure the burden they carry.
