Community health workers as diabetes tech coaches for kids
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a community health worker can help Black children with type 1 diabetes use their automated insulin delivery system (a combination of a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin pump) more effectively. Children who are already using or have used this system in the past 3 months may qualify.

This study tests a new training app for school nurses to help them better support kids with type 1 diabetes. It may improve how schools care for students who use diabetes devices.
This study tests a smart insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor system that adjusts insulin automatically and uses behavior support to improve blood sugar control. It's for people with type 1 diabetes who have used an approved automated insulin delivery system recently and are willing to use study devices.
This study tests ways to help teens and young adults with type 2 diabetes and their families deal with social needs (like food, housing, or money challenges) that can affect health. You and a parent or caregiver will join together.
This study tests whether a team of community health worker and pharmacist can help improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes. You may be asked to use a continuous glucose monitor (a sensor that tracks sugar levels) and take part in support visits.
This trial helps children with type 1 diabetes get advanced diabetes technology, aiming to reduce gaps in access for families with fewer resources. It will check whether these tools are usable and helpful for diabetes care in children who meet the study needs.
This study tests whether support from a peer mentor can help Black and Latinx adults with type 1 diabetes who currently use a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) less than half the time to use it more regularly. You'll join remote video sessions with a mentor who has experience with diabetes.
