Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Diabetes Distress (DD) refers to the emotional and behavioral challenges and burdens that arise through living with and managing diabetes. High DD is characterized by feeling frustrated, overwhelmed and discouraged by the demands of diabetes, and high DD may have a negative impact on disease management and glycemic control; poor glycemic control can also have a negative effect on DD. Few interventions have been assessed that directly target DD or mood in adults with Type 1 diabetes. In this study the investigators will compare two active, evidence-based behavioral interventions to reduce high DD and improve glycemic control and disease management: 1. A Type 1 diabetes education protocol ('KnowIt') that brings together new advances in diabetes education and behavioral management. 2. A DD-reduction protocol ('OnTrack') that helps identify and address the personal stresses and strains of having diabetes. Participants in both arms will attend a single, day-long workshop, four hour-long web group meetings and four personal phone calls with the group facilitator during the intervention period. Assessments will be carried out at baseline and at three and nine months. Hypothesis 1: OnTrack will be superior to KnowIt in the primary and secondary outcomes at follow-up. Hypothesis 2: Changes in self-efficacy and fear of hypoglycemia over time will mediate the difference between the two study arms and primary outcome. Hypothesis 3: The differences between the two study arms and changes in the primary outcomes will be qualified by patient characteristics such as age, length of diagnosis, higher baseline distress or HbA1c.
