NCT ID NCT07728435
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how type 1 diabetes affects the heart, lungs, and overall fitness of children aged 6 to 17. It also measures their physical activity levels and quality of life. Researchers will compare these results with those of healthy children of the same age. The goal is to understand whether diabetes leads to a more sedentary lifestyle and lower fitness, and what factors might be linked to poorer fitness.
