The purpose of this research study is to find out what effects the Group Therapy Project has on parents and child's management of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) from both a group versus an individual therapy modality. We want to start a group and individual therapy program that looks at youth and family adjustment and coping at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital with patients who have T1DM. There has been research before on this group therapy and we want to look at it in a "typical" clinical setting at Cincinnati Children's Hospital for both group and individual therapy, including recently diagnosed patients (\<1 year). This research is being done to understand how a peer and family-based group versus individual therapy can be helpful by looking at survey data as well as medical data before and after participating in the diabetes therapy program. This information will help us further develop prevention and intervention programs for other youth with T1DM and their families.
