Nurse phone calls help teens cope with diabetes
NCT ID NCT00308256
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether regular nurse counseling could help teenagers with type 1 diabetes feel more in control of their condition and improve their blood sugar levels. 77 teens aged 13-18 with poorly controlled diabetes took part. One group received routine care, while the other had extra nurse phone calls every two weeks and monthly visits. The main goal was to see if the extra support improved how well teens felt they were coping with diabetes.
