This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a new 16-week healthy lifestyle program called T1DAL (Type 1 Diabetes Adolescents for healthier Lifestyles) that was specially designed for teens with type 1 diabetes who are overweight. The program was created based on feedback from teens, their families, and diabetes doctors to address the unique challenges of managing weight while living with type 1 diabetes. The research team wants to see whether this treatment helps teens feel healthier and manage their diabetes better compared to usual care.
Over the past 30 years, obesity has become much more common in young people with type 1 diabetes, which increases their risk of heart disease and other serious health problems. While weight management programs exist, they weren't designed with type 1 diabetes in mind—they don't account for the special challenges, like needing to eat to prevent low blood sugar or being at higher risk for eating disorders. This study exists to test whether a program tailored specifically to the needs of teens with type 1 diabetes can help them stay healthier.

If you're randomly chosen for the program group, you will participate in a 16-week intensive lifestyle treatment that includes group activities, healthier eating strategies, and physical activity—all adapted to work with type 1 diabetes management. If you're in the comparison group, you'll continue your regular diabetes doctor visits. The study will measure your weight, blood sugar levels, eating habits, and overall wellbeing at different points, and you'll need to wear a continuous glucose monitor during the study period to track your blood sugar.
