New study tests online diabetes academy for teens
NCT ID NCT06408207
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a virtual education program called CGM Academy helps youth (ages 8-18) with type 1 diabetes improve their blood sugar control. Participants will receive an interactive workbook and four online group sessions with diabetes educators, while a comparison group gets standard care. The study tracks changes in HbA1c and other glucose metrics over 6 months, along with diabetes distress and family responsibilities.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CGM Academy education curriculum (behavioral intervention: workbook, online sessions, diabetes educator guidance)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a structured virtual education program helps youth with type 1 diabetes better manage their glucose levels and reduce diabetes distress.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage behavioral study (90 participants) with no blinding. Results may not apply to all youth, and improvements may be modest or not sustained long-term.
