NCT ID NCT05697484
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an educational mobile game could help children aged 7 to 14 with type 1 diabetes better manage their blood sugar. 76 children played the game alongside their usual care. Researchers measured changes in HbA1c (a long-term blood sugar marker) and how satisfied the children were with the game. The goal was to see if a fun, interactive tool could improve diabetes control.
