Time in range vs. normal blood sugar for better diabetes control
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether keeping blood sugar in a certain 'time in range' window gives better results than just aiming for normal sugar levels. It may help teens and children with type 1 diabetes find a more practical way to manage their diabetes day-to-day.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 5 to 17 years old (up to just before your 18th birthday).
- You must be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
- You must use a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) at least 70% of the time in the month before the study starts.
- Your most recent HbA1c (a blood test showing average sugar over 3 months) must be at or below 10% (86 mmol/mol).
- You cannot have had a severe low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) episode in the last two months.
- You must not be in another research study or have health conditions that affect blood sugar.

This trial tests whether starting automated insulin therapy soon after diagnosis helps children and teens with type 1 diabetes control their blood sugar better. It uses a system that automatically adjusts insulin delivery based on continuous glucose monitoring.
This study looks at how timing your insulin bolus (the extra insulin you take with meals) can improve blood sugar control. It involves adults with type 1 diabetes who are already using the MiniMed 780G pump with Novorapid insulin.
This study tests a new automated insulin delivery (AID) system that connects your insulin pump to your glucose monitor to help keep your blood sugar in range. It is for both children and adults with type 1 diabetes who have not used an AID system before.
This study tests whether limiting your eating to a shorter time window each day (time-restricted eating) improves your body's 24-hour blood sugar control and daily rhythms. You may be asked to follow a specific eating schedule and have blood tests and other measurements over several weeks.
This study is testing whether using an insulin pump helps people with type 1 diabetes keep their blood sugar in a healthy range more often. You'll use the pump and track your blood sugar to see how well it works.
This study looks at how the time of day affects blood sugar control during moderate exercise and intense activity in teens with type 1 diabetes. It may help find the best times for exercise to manage glucose better.
