Improving metabolic indicators in adults with type 1 diabetes
Official title: Study on the Improvement of Metabolic Indicators in Type 1 Diabetes Patients by Structured Education
Run by Peking University First Hospital · NCT07144696 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This program will try a structured 12-hour education course plus regular outpatient follow-up to see if adults with type 1 diabetes improve self-management and metabolic measures.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18 years) diagnosed with type 1 diabetes per WHO criteria who can attend a 12-hour structured education course, accept regular outpatient follow-up, and provide informed consent are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with non–type 1 diabetes, severe uncontrolled microvascular complications, recent major vascular events, or uncontrolled hypertension, as well as those unable to attend in-person sessions, are unlikely to benefit.

What this trial studies
Peking University First Hospital plans to recruit 150 adult outpatients with type 1 diabetes to receive the China Type 1 Diabetes Alliance "Take Control of My Life" structured education program delivered offline. The curriculum covers diet, exercise, blood glucose monitoring, insulin injection, complication prevention, and psychological adjustment, followed by regular outpatient follow-up to standardize treatment behavior. Participants will receive repeated education and follow-up contacts aimed at improving self-management behaviors and metabolic indicators. Outcomes will compare changes in self-management and metabolic measures before and after the intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could improve patients' self-management skills and blood glucose control, potentially lowering the risk of complications.
How similar studies have gone: Similar structured education programs for type 1 diabetes (for example, the DAFNE approach and other structured self-management courses) have shown improvements in self-management and glycemic control, so this approach has precedent.
