The T1D Talks Pilot Study

The T1D Talks intervention is an 11 session, virtual (online), group intervention. The T1D Talks intervention teaches developmentally appropriate emotion regulation (ER) skills and facilitates practicing these skills via role-plays and in-session experiences that are meant to elicit strong emotions. The investigators adapted the content and situations of an established intervention to be relevant for youth with T1D (e.g., practicing ER skills while role playing situations like telling parents about high blood glucose numbers or telling a coach about needing to take a time out from a game because of a low blood glucose level). The intervention also provides basic diabetes education about risky situations (e.g., how physical activity can affect blood glucose).
