Pilot of Pragmatic Delivery of Behavioral Approaches to Reduce Diabetes Distress in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes

The study will test the feasibility and acceptability of two behavioral-based interventions to reduce diabetes distress (DD). The investigators will enroll one cohort (N=15) adults 30 years and older with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and elevated DD from a single clinical site to participate in a 5-week intervention. All interventions and assessments will be delivered in a pragmatic and entirely virtual format. The investigators will compare two evidence-based, virtual group interventions to reduce DD in adults with T1D. The study includes a randomization to one of two 5-week Primary Interventions: "ReCharge", an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-focused approach that will help to reduce the emotional burden of diabetes management; or "TakeCharge", a problem-solving focused approach that will equip participants with new skills to manage type 1 diabetes. After the 5-week intervention period, participants will provide final outcome data and feedback on their experience using surveys and focus groups. Quantitative and quantitative results will be used to improve the intervention prior to rollout of a longer-term trial of the same design. Long-term data will be collected at 12-weeks post enrollment.
