Brief Summary:
Individuals with diabetes often report that difficult thoughts and feelings about diabetes interfere with making healthy choices with regards to diabetes management. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a diabetes self-management group based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT is a new behavior therapy that has been found to be useful in treating psychological and behavioral difficulties. We are interested in whether individuals with diabetes will like an ACT-based diabetes management group and whether they find the group helpful.
Detailed Description:
The goal of the current study is to assess the acceptability and feasibility of an acceptance-based group to improve diabetes self-management among individuals with Type 1 Diabetes. Interested individuals will participate in a weekly acceptance-based therapy group focusing on improving diabetes management (e.g., adherence to dietary recommendations, appropriate insulin dosing) for a total of 8 weeks. Participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires both pre and post treatment. Questionnaires will assess diabetes management and acceptability of the group (post treatment only). Regular medical monitoring is required for participation in the current study. Participants will be asked to provide consent to contact their current medical provider in order to confirm that the participant's is receiving regular medical monitoring for diabetes care and that providers are aware of their patient's participation in group.
