Use of an Online Intervention for the Treatment of Diabetes Distress in Patients With Type 1-Diabetes

Summary

This study will investigate whether an online intervention can be helpful in reducing diabetes distress in people with type 1 diabetes and elevated diabetes distress, compared to individual counselling sessions (online, phone-based or face-to-face, depending on the preference of the person with type 1 diabetes). Half of the participants will receive the online intervention, while the other half will receive individual counseling sessions with a psychologist. Objectives: The main aim of this study is to investigate if the online intervention is feasible and liked by people with type 1 diabetes and diabetes distress, in comparison with individual counselling sessions. Hypotheses: The investigators predict that both interventions will be feasible to use, shown by how many people join, stay engaged, and complete the interventions. The investigators also think that people will find both interventions acceptable, as shown by the positive feedback given in interviews after they finish.
