Talking therapy aims to ease the emotional burden of type 1 diabetes
NCT ID NCT05000021
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether cognitive behavioral therapy (a type of talking therapy) delivered online, along with a continuous glucose monitor, can reduce diabetes-related distress in adults with type 1 diabetes. About 93 adults aged 18-64 will be randomly assigned to receive either the therapy plus a glucose monitor or just the monitor alone. The goal is to see if adding therapy improves emotional well-being and blood sugar control more than using the monitor by itself.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) duration ≥6 months * English or Spanish speaking * At least moderate Diabetes Distress (DD) (score of ≥2 on T1D-Diabetes Distress Scale) * Stable insulin treatment regimen (insulin prescription, use of pump, etc.) for at least 3 months prior to study enrollment Exclusion Criteria: * Comorbid psychiatric condition, including depression, anxiety, or suicidality, which may be independently associated with the main outcomes of DD or glycemic control. Comorbid psychiatric conditions listed above are being excluded because CBT-DD currently centers on mitigating specifically diabetes distress to improve glycemic outcomes * In treatment for a psychological condition within the last 6 months or on a non-stable dose of psychiatric medication over the last 2 months * Developmental or sensory disability interfering with participation * Current pregnancy, as self-management and glycemic goals differ * Participation in another behavioral intervention study * Use of non-insulin medications or recent medical procedures that would impact glycemic control or use of CGM over the study * Minors * Subjects who do have the capacity to consent
