Smartphone study tracks how stress impacts blood sugar in young people with diabetes
NCT ID NCT06129994
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how stress, anxiety, and depression affect daily diabetes care in teens and young adults (ages 13-26) with type 1 diabetes. Participants used their smartphones to answer quick surveys throughout the day while wearing a continuous glucose monitor. The goal was to understand real-time links between emotions and blood sugar control, not to test a new treatment.
