NCT ID NCT07440108
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a digital program that monitors both the emotional well-being of caregivers and the glucose levels of children with type 1 diabetes. Thirty families used the system for two months to see if it was practical and easy to use. The goal was to learn how stress and blood sugar events are connected, which could help design better support tools in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better personalized support systems for families managing a child's type 1 diabetes, potentially reducing caregiver distress and improving glucose control.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 30 participants. It does not test any treatment, so results may not lead to immediate changes in care.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population consists of caregivers of children with type 1 diabetes recruited from Hospital Miguel Servet in Spain. Eligible caregivers are adults who serve as the primary caregiver for a child under 18 years old with a confirmed diagnosis of T1D and who uses the FreeStyle Libre 2 continuous glucose monitoring system. Families must be willing to share the child's CGM data and have experienced at least two severe glucose events in the previous month. Caregivers must own a compatible smartphone and be able to use a mobile sensing system. Exclusion criteria include significant cognitive or physical impairments, inability to read or understand Spanish, or participation in other clinical trials involving psychological or diabetes-related interventions.

Inclusion criteria: * Caregivers aged ≥18 years who are the primary caregivers of a child with T1D. * The child should be younger than 18 years with a confirmed diagnosis of T1D and currently using CGM, specifically Free-Style Libre 2. * The family should be willing to share their child's CGM data with the Adhera Caring Digital Program®, as well as retrospective CGM data from the previous 2 months prior to joining the study. * The child should have had at least 2 severe glycemic events in the previous month, either hyperglycemic (\>250 mg/dL for more than 2 hours) or hypoglycemic (\<70 mg/dL for more than 15 min). This will be assessed by their pediatric endocrinologist during recruitment. * Caregivers must own a smartphone compatible with the study app. * Willingness and ability to use a smartphone-based sensing system. Exclusion criteria: * Caregivers with significant cognitive or physical impairments preventing study participation. * Inability to read or understand the Spanish language. * Participation in other clinical trials involving psychological or diabetes management interventions.
