This study is testing a new program called the Type 1 Doing Well Program to help young teens with type 1 diabetes and their parents manage the condition more effectively. The program uses a mobile app with daily and weekly activities focused on recognizing what your child is doing well with diabetes care, plus a special conversation with the diabetes doctor about what's working. Researchers want to see if this strengths-based approach improves blood sugar levels, daily diabetes management, and emotional health compared to families who receive standard diabetes information.
Many young teens with type 1 diabetes struggle with blood sugar control and the emotional burden of managing their condition every day. This trial exists to test whether focusing on strengths and positive behaviors—rather than just problems—might help teens and families feel more confident and do better with their diabetes care.

You and your parent would attend an orientation session, then be randomly assigned to either the strengths-based app program or a comparison group that receives monthly diabetes information sheets. If assigned to the app program, you would use a mobile app together for about 6 months, doing brief daily activities where your parent recognizes your diabetes successes and weekly family check-ins about what's going well. You'll also have one special conversation with your diabetes doctor about your strengths. Throughout the study, you'll answer questionnaires and share blood sugar data at four different timepoints so researchers can measure how the program is working.
