Phase N/A

Study Overview: This study is designed to help Black young adults, aged 18-30, who have Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a condition where the body cannot produce insulin, a hormone that helps sugar get into cells for energy. Many Black patients with T1D face challenges in managing their blood sugar levels, known as glycemic control, due to diabetes distress, which is worry or stress about living with diabetes. The study will test a special program called T1DES, which is designed to help manage diabetes and reduce distress.

Key Points:

  • Duration and Visits: The study will last around six months.
  • Participants: 40 Black young adults will be part of the study.
  • Benefits: Participants might receive improved diabetes education and emotional support.

To join the study, you need to be a patient at Grady Health System, aged 18-30, diagnosed with T1D, have an HbA1c above 7.5%, and be able to read in English. You need a phone for texts and identify as Black or African American. You cannot have severe physical or cognitive impairments that prevent participation. This research aims to improve diabetes care and emotional well-being for Black young adults.
