In a 15-month randomized controlled trial, AYA with T1D who participated in VPG reported significant improvements in HbA1c and CGM use.
Study context
- Population
- And young adults (AYA) aged 16–25 years with T1D; 50% Latinx, 75% publicly insured
- Participants
- 40 vs 28
- Comparison
- CoYoT1 care vs standard care
- CoYoT1 caren = 40
- Standard caren = 28reference
