Study Summary

This trial will assess if shared medical appointments help underserved youth with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes in terms of glycemic control, self-management skills, and health related quality of life.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for underserved youth aged 8-11 with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes (T1D), who have public healthcare insurance, speak English, and are managed on insulin injections. Participants must be Non-Hispanic Black or Latinx and have had an A1c value over 8% in the past year. Those using insulin pumps, with significant cognitive issues or major psychiatric disorders, taking non-insulin diabetes meds, or involved in other studies can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests shared medical appointments (SMA) every three months for one year to see if they help improve blood sugar control, self-care skills, and quality of life in these kids. After the SMA visits end, there's a six-month observation period to evaluate how well SMAs work and if people like this approach.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on group medical visits rather than a new medication or treatment device, traditional side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience stress or discomfort from discussing their condition in a group setting.
