This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial tests Support-t, an online platform designed to help teenagers with type 1 diabetes as they prepare to transition from pediatric (child-focused) healthcare to adult healthcare. The platform includes educational materials, blog posts, and discussion forums where young people can connect with peers facing the same transition. Researchers want to see whether using this platform alongside regular diabetes care helps teens manage their blood sugar better and feel more confident and ready for the switch to adult care.
Moving from pediatric to adult diabetes care is a difficult time for many teenagers—their blood sugar control often gets worse, they skip diabetes management tasks more often, and complications can develop. This study exists to see whether an online peer support and education platform can help ease this transition and improve outcomes.

If you join, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups for 18 months. One group gets access to the Support-t online platform (with educational materials, blogs, and peer discussion forums) plus their usual diabetes care visits. The other group continues with usual care only—regular visits with their diabetes doctor, nurse, and dietitian—and can access the platform after the study ends. Throughout the 18 months, researchers will check your blood sugar levels, ask about how you're managing your diabetes, and measure how ready you feel to move to adult care.
