Mediterranean diet for young people with type 1 diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how a Mediterranean diet (a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats) might affect oxidative stress (a kind of wear and tear on your cells) in young people with type 1 diabetes. It may help improve overall health and diabetes management.

This study looks at using a finger-prick test instead of a standard blood draw for the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), which measures how your body handles sugar. It may help young people at risk for or with early type 1 diabetes avoid repeated needle sticks.
This study tests a structured education program to help Arab adolescents aged 11 to 14 better manage their blood sugar. If you have type 1 diabetes, use a continuous glucose monitor, and have not attended a diabetes education class in the last 6 months, this program may be for you.
This trial looks at what people with type 2 diabetes know about diet and how often they eat a Mediterranean diet. It aims to understand if this way of eating can help with diabetes management.
This study looks at how carbohydrate intake may affect how well insulin-producing cells work and how stable your blood sugar becomes in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes. It may help families learn dietary steps that improve glucose control early on.
This study tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (a small sensor that checks sugar levels continuously) along with nutritional counseling helps teens who are overweight or at risk for type 2 diabetes make healthier food choices. If your child joins, they will wear a small sensor and get extra support to improve their diet and lower their risk.
