UP-CBT Trial Summary

This trial will evaluate using tech and CGM to help young adults with type 1 diabetes manage anxiety and depression, and improve blood sugar control.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English or Spanish-speaking young adults aged 18-35 with Type 1 diabetes and HbA1c levels between 7.5% and 14%. Participants must have had diabetes for at least six months and be diagnosed with anxiety or depression. It's not open to those with certain disabilities, pregnant women, recent users of psychotropic medications without a stable dose, or individuals who've recently used CBT.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests telemedicine-delivered UP-CBT combined with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to improve mental health symptoms and blood sugar control in young adults with Type 1 diabetes. The therapy aims to help manage anxiety and depression while monitoring glucose levels.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions are non-medical (UP-CBT) and a device (CGM), typical drug side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience discomfort related to discussing personal issues during therapy sessions or skin irritation from CGM use.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Unified Protocol for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (UP-CBT) with Continuous Glucose MonitoringExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants randomized to this arm will receive the Unified Protocol for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (UP-CBT), enhanced by review of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) data. Participants will wear study-supplied CGM for the first 6 months of their participation in the trial.
Group II: Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) OnlyActive Control1 Intervention
Participants randomized to receive Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) will continue to receive their usual care and will also wear CGM throughout the first 6 months of their participation in the trial.
