Improving blood sugar control in type 1 diabetes using team care, technology, education and peer support

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The GLITTER program implements a four-in-one management model that combines multidisciplinary clinical teams, structured education, peer support groups, and access to diabetes technologies. It is a multicenter, prospective cohort across several major hospitals in China and follows patients longitudinally to track metabolic control. Education is delivered through specialty clinics and local clinicians, while technology access (CGM and pumps) is offered but not mandated, and peer support is organized via patient communication groups. The aim is population-wide coverage and whole-disease-course management to increase the rate of patients reaching glycemic targets.
