Summary

This study tests a mobile health program called R2D2 designed to reduce diabetes distress in children aged 8-12 with type 1 diabetes and their parents. The program uses cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and behavioral strategies to help families cope. Researchers will measure changes in blood sugar control and emotional well-being in 180 participants.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: R2D2 mHealth intervention (behavioral therapy using cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and behavioral activation strategies)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a scalable, low-cost way to help families manage the emotional burden of type 1 diabetes and improve children's blood sugar levels.
What could go wrong: This is an early feasibility and efficacy trial with only 180 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is behavioral, so benefits may vary and long-term effects are unknown.
