Study Summary
Before the 1990s, obesity was rare among young people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), but now it is more common. Recent studies show that over 50% of young people with T1D will have overweight or obesity within five years of being diagnosed with T1D. Both obesity and T1D increase the risk of heart disease, and combined, these risks are even higher. Intensive health behavior and lifestyle treatments (IHBLTs) are proven to be effective for treating childhood obesity. However, managing T1D creates unique challenges that require adjustments to these treatments. For example, people with T1D need to eat even when they're not hungry to treat low blood sugar, blood sugar changes can make exercise harder, and some recommended "free foods" are high in unhealthy fats. Young people with T1D are also more likely to develop eating disorders. There is a need for IHBLTs that address these specific challenges and focus on preventing eating disorders in this group. To address these needs, we developed the Type 1 Diabetes Adolescents for healthier Lifestyles (T1DAL) program, based on feedback from teenagers with T1D, their parents/caregivers, and pediatric endocrinologists. The goal of this study is to test whether the T1DAL program can improve the health and wellbeing of teens compared to usual care. In this study, about 50 teens will be randomly assigned to either the T1DAL program or to Usual Care. Those in the T1DAL group will take part in a 16-week program designed specifically for teens with T1D to improve eating habits and diabetes management. Those in the Usual Care group will continue with their regular endocrinology appointments. At the end of the study, the Usual Care group will be offered a shortened version of the T1DAL program. All participants will have their height, weight, blood glucose, eating habits, diabetes management behaviors, and mood measured at the start and end of the study. They will also answer questions to track unhealthy eating and weight control behaviors
