Read our Type 1 Diabetes research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing two types of therapy to help people with type 1 diabetes who have eating disorders or unhealthy eating behaviors. One therapy, called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), teaches you new ways to handle difficult thoughts and feelings related to eating and diabetes. The other, called Supportive Diabetes Counseling, provides education and support focused on managing diabetes and eating healthily.
Eating disorders are common in people with type 1 diabetes and can be very dangerous—some people even skip insulin doses to control their weight. There is limited research on how to treat this combination effectively, so this study aims to find which approach works best.

You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: the ACT therapy group, the supportive counseling group, or a waitlist group that receives no immediate treatment. If assigned to a treatment group, you will have 12 therapy sessions over several months, which may be in-person or virtual. You will complete assessments at the start, during treatment, at the end, and then 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment ends. These assessments include blood sugar checks and surveys about your eating and diabetes management.
