NCT ID NCT02970357
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a special education program helps children with type 1 diabetes learn more about their condition and feel better. 68 children and teens from one hospital in France took part. They answered questionnaires about diabetes knowledge and quality of life. The goal was to see if the program improves understanding and daily life.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that structured education helps children with type 1 diabetes better manage their condition and feel better day-to-day.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study at one hospital in France, so results may not apply to all children. It measures knowledge and quality of life, not long-term health outcomes.
