First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested a behavioral program for 217 teens and young adults (ages 14-25) with type 1 diabetes. The program included 12 one-on-one sessions focused on improving blood sugar levels and reducing diabetes-related distress. Researchers measured changes in time in range (blood sugar 70-180 mg/dL) and A1c over 12 months. The goal was to see if this support program could help young people better manage their diabetes and feel less stressed about it.
