NCT ID NCT07639307
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an interactive educational video, added to standard diabetes education, helps children aged 8 to 14 with type 1 diabetes improve their blood sugar control. The video lets kids make decisions in everyday situations and see the results. Researchers will measure changes in HbA1c (a long-term blood sugar marker) and other health factors over six months.
