Evaluating the feasibility of a co-designed technology-enabled, collaborative care program for young adults with type 1 diabetes and diabetes distress: A protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex, chronic condition that requires active and intensive daily self-management, often necessitating specialized and integrated care. Individuals with T1D are at a heightened risk of experiencing diabetes distress (DD) and other mental health challenges, which, when unaddressed, can impair diabetes self-management and diminish quality of life. These challenges are particularly pronounced for young adults with T1D, who must navigate the typical developmental transitions of early adulthood while managing changes in their diabetes care, self-management, and support systems. However, physical and mental healthcare remain fragmented. While previous studies have explored interventions to address DD, many have faced limitations in scalability. This study
