Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a condition where the body cannot make insulin, a hormone needed to control blood sugar. This study is designed for Black young adults aged 18-30 who have type 1 diabetes and a high Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), which is a test showing average blood sugar levels over the past few months. The study aims to see if a special program, T1DES, can help manage diabetes better and reduce diabetes stress.
Participants will be placed in either the T1DES group or a regular diabetes education group. The study will last for 6 months, and researchers will compare changes in blood sugar levels and how participants feel about their diabetes. Studies like this are important because they address racial differences in health by offering tailored support.
- Study lasts 6 months with regular check-ins.
- Participants receive diabetes education and support.
- Open to Black young adults, ages 18-30, with T1D.
