NCT ID NCT06546930
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether virtual peer groups can help Latinx teenagers with type 1 diabetes use insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors more effectively. About 120 teens and their caregivers will join online sessions covering topics like family relationships, school, and working with their care team. The main goal is to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, not yet to prove it improves health outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- virtual peer group intervention
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that peer support groups help Latinx teens with type 1 diabetes use technology better, potentially improving their glucose control and reducing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early feasibility study with only 120 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, not a drug, so any benefits are likely modest and depend on engagement.
