Summary

Adolescence presents a challenging time for type 1 diabetes management, and despite a multitude of studies aimed at increasing disease compliance in this age group, none have been deemed superior. The purpose of this study is to incorporate mindfulness skills in with diabetes education sessions for adolescents with type 1 diabetes and study if this translates to improved outcomes in glycemic control, patient satisfaction, and mental wellness.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mind-body skills

The purpose of mind-body medicine is to use conscious thoughts and actions to positively impact autonomic responses from the brain as well as coping mechanisms for life's stresses. Examples of mind-body skills include deep breathing exercises, meditation, drawing, guided imagery, journaling, affirmations, and biofeedback.

BEHAVIORAL

Diabetes education

When children and adolescents are diagnosed with diabetes, education is typically focused on the parents; as our older adolescents prepare to transition to adult care with full responsibility of their health, the goal of short education sessions is to review the basics of T1D along with addressing each individual's needs and questions as they make this transition.
