The GLITTER study is looking at a new way to help people with type 1 diabetes better manage their condition. It combines support from a healthcare team, the use of technology, education about diabetes, and connections with peers who have similar experiences. The goal is to improve how well participants control their blood sugar levels through this all-around approach.

Anyone with type 1 diabetes can join, no matter their age or how long they’ve had the condition. To be eligible, participants must have been diagnosed by a specialist and meet certain medical criteria, like starting insulin treatment after diagnosis or having specific blood tests related to the disease. Those who take part can expect to work closely with healthcare professionals, use helpful technology, learn more about managing diabetes, and connect with others for support. This study is currently recruiting participants and aims to make living with type 1 diabetes a little easier and healthier.
