Summary
This study tests a program called REAL-Fam, designed to help families in rural areas manage a child's type 1 diabetes. About 16 families will either receive 12 telehealth sessions focused on diabetes routines and family participation, or just 3 basic check-in meetings. The goal is to see if the program is practical and acceptable, and whether it improves family quality of life and the child's blood sugar stability.
