Healthy And Positive Pathways for Young People With Type 1 Diabetes (HAPPY T1D)

The intervention includes two types of sessions - those targeting an improvement in glycemic outcomes and those targeting a reduction in diabetes distress. Evidence indicates that psychoeducation and support are needed to improve self-care behaviors and optimize use of advanced diabetes technologies, which, in turn, can help improve diabetes control while also reducing diabetes distress. Participants will receive 4 one-on-one glycemic sessions and 8 one-on-one distress sessions, each lasting \~30 minutes. Sessions will be conducted in-person or remotely. The virtual sessions are intended to provide the extra psychoeducation and support needed for this high risk group without increasing the burden associated with frequent face-to-face sessions.
