New care model tested to ease young adults' diabetes transition
NCT ID NCT05229718
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new way to help young adults (ages 18-30) with type 1 or type 2 diabetes move from pediatric to adult diabetes care. Researchers compared a collaborative care model to usual care, looking at how many visits patients completed and changes in diabetes-related distress. The goal was to see if the new model is feasible and improves outcomes.
