New app aims to help young diabetics get stronger and control blood sugar
NCT ID NCT07290868
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a mobile app called Diactive-1 that provides personalized resistance training and education for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Over 12 weeks, participants follow a tailored exercise program (like strength training or high-intensity intervals) and track their progress. The goal is to see if the app can improve handgrip strength and help with daily diabetes management, such as insulin use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Diactive-1 mobile app with personalized resistance training program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this app could become a standard tool to help young people with type 1 diabetes improve their fitness and better manage their condition.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with only 158 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The app relies on user engagement, and adherence to the exercise program may be low.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) for 6 months or longer (requiring \>0.5 U/kg/day of insulin and having HbA1c \>6%, i.e., not in the "honeymoon phase"). * Receiving multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy or insulin pump therapy (CSII). * Signed informed consent authorizing legal participation in the research project (child/adolescent and parent(s)/legal guardian). * Availability to participate in the study using an m-Health application (Diactive-1) designed for the programming of muscle-bone strengthening physical exercise. * Understanding of Spanish. Exclusion Criteria: * Comorbidities that limit the ability to engage in physical activity. * Lack of internet access when using the application, whether due to Wi-Fi, mobile data, or international roaming issues. * Absence of a mobile phone or tablet with an Android or iOS (Apple) operating system, or no family member willing to lend a device for each session using the application for study-related purposes.
