Could group doctor visits help teens manage diabetes?
NCT ID NCT06658743
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether shared medical appointments—where teens with type 2 diabetes meet together with their care team—are an acceptable way to deliver care. Researchers designed four group activities focused on nutrition, peer support, exercise, and stress management, and created a clinic workflow. Fifty-three teens and caregivers took part in quarterly visits and surveys to see if this approach works better than standard care.
