Family-Based Treatment for Type 1 Diabetes

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, Obesity, Childhood, Overweight, Comorbidities and Coexisting Conditions

In brief

Type 1 Diabetes carries high burden for affected youth and their families. Advances in insulin therapy and technology have been associated with increased obesity with 1/3 adolescents being overweight/obese. Since obesity runs in families and carries risk for poor outcomes psychologically and medically, the investigators are adapting our successful evidence-based Family Based Treatment for hybrid delivery to improve obesity and metabolic control in the affected youth and improve obesity and related co-morbidities in their parents.
