What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Diabetes Inspired Culinary Education (DICE) - Phase 1Behavioural

    The DICE intervention is a 10-lesson family-and community-based culinary nutrition and diabetes education program. Intervention Mapping, a protocol for developing theory- and evidence-based health promotion programs, was utilized to develop the DICE intervention. Rooted in the Social Cognitive Theory, the DICE intervention targets key personal, behavioral, and environmental constructs as mechanistic pathways for eliciting change in the consequential health outcomes of poor glycemic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diabetes Inspired Culinary Education (DICE) - Phase 1 and Diabetes Inspired Culinary Education (DICE) - Phase 2 in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Case Western Reserve University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hemoglobin A1c (time frame: 9 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Dec 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
