Motivational interviewing and WhatsApp monitoring for teens with type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether motivational interviewing (a supportive counseling style) plus regular check-ins through WhatsApp helps teenagers improve their blood sugar control and feel more confident managing their diabetes. If you're a teen with type 1 diabetes and your HbA1C is a bit high, this might help you get better control.
