Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A multicenter randomized controlled trial testing the app "Young with Diabetes"

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Young people with diabetes type 1, their parents and health care providers have participated in developing the mHealth app "Young with Diabetes".

The aim of the app is to support young people to self-manage their diabetes type 1.

A test group of 70 young people with diabetes type 1 test the app for 12 months as a supplement to standard care and the control group receives standard care only.

At baseline and after 2, 7 and 12 months HbA1c, problem areas in diabetes, perceived competences in diabetes and health care climate are measured.

2. My Department (hotline numbers, videos about the new adult department, pictures of my diabetes team)
3. Chatroom
4. Counting Carbohydrates (information and tips about carbs, introduction to apps to count carbs, quiz)
5. Knowledge-section (Text, links, tips and videos (animations and videoselfies) about What is diabetes?, Alcohol etc.)
