Community health workers boost diabetes tech use in young adults
NCT ID NCT05211869
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a program where community health workers helped young adults (ages 18-35) from underrepresented minority groups with type 1 diabetes start using devices like continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps. Over 9 months, 119 participants were randomly assigned to the program or usual care. The goal was to see if the program increased technology use and was practical to implement.
