Read our Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new way to teach people with diabetes how to manage their condition using virtual reality classrooms. The program is designed specifically for people who have recently been released from prison and are living in supervised housing. Researchers want to see if this interactive, virtual diabetes education program helps people learn the skills they need to control their blood sugar and stay healthy after release.
People released from prison have much higher rates of diabetes and are at much greater risk of serious diabetes complications and hospitalization shortly after release. This trial exists to fill a gap in care: people leaving the prison system often lack basic diabetes knowledge—like how to recognize low blood sugar, what foods to eat, and how to take insulin—and need specialized support designed for their specific situation.

If you're assigned to the new program, you'll attend six one-hour diabetes education sessions held in a virtual classroom, plus one support session—all held over six weeks at times that work for you. You'll learn from educators and peers in the virtual environment about managing your diabetes, controlling your blood sugar, taking insulin, and making healthy food choices. The whole program lasts about six weeks, and it's designed to be convenient and accessible for people living in supervised housing.
