NCT ID NCT03914547
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tested a video-based telemedicine program called REDCHiP for parents of young children (ages 2-6) with type 1 diabetes. The program uses education, behavior training, and therapy to reduce parents' fear of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). 396 families participated, comparing REDCHiP to a control group. The goal was to see if the program lowers parental fear and improves the child's blood sugar control.
