Can video chats help young adults with diabetes stay on track?
NCT ID NCT06626347
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a group telehealth program called TREAT-ED for young adults aged 18-26 with type 1 diabetes. The program used video sessions led by a diabetes educator to teach self-management skills. The goal was to see if this approach could improve participation in diabetes education and ultimately help with blood sugar control.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- group telehealth diabetes self-management education and support
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could make it easier for young adults with type 1 diabetes to get the education and support they need to manage their condition.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 49 participants and no control group, so results may not apply to everyone. The program may not lead to lasting improvements in diabetes control.
