First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a phone app called Happy Bob can help young people with Type 1 Diabetes feel more supported and manage their condition better. About 80 teens will use the app for 6 months and fill out surveys about their mood, quality of life, and how well they follow their treatment plan. The goal is to see if peer support through the app makes a difference.
