NCT ID NCT07144696
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a structured education program, combined with regular follow-up visits, can help adults with type 1 diabetes better control their blood sugar. Researchers at Peking University First Hospital will enroll 150 participants and provide courses on diet, exercise, insulin, and more. The goal is to improve self-management and delay complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- structured education and regular follow-up
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that structured education helps people with type 1 diabetes better manage their blood sugar and delay complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with no control group, so results may not be generalizable. The benefit depends on patient participation and may not lead to a new treatment.
