Summary
A study published in the Journal of Pediatric Nursing found that digital games and video animations can improve diabetes management in children with type 1 diabetes. Conducted from September 2022 to 2023 with 55 children aged 8–12, the study showed that those using interactive digital tools had better glycemic control and improved diabetes-related knowledge and behavior. The digital education included animated videos and games that reinforced learning through repetition and feedback. Researchers concluded that these tools enhance engagement, understanding, and retention, and should be integrated into existing diabetes education programs to make learning more accessible and effective for children globally.
