NCT ID NCT07501988
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a color-coded rotation training program helps people with diabetes improve their insulin self-management skills. Researchers will teach 112 participants how to rotate injection sites and change needles using a colorful chart and a mannequin. The goal is to see if this simple visual method boosts knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors around insulin therapy.
