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 ACTnow, a group-based counseling program designed to help young adults (ages 18–35) with type 1 diabetes who feel overwhelmed or stressed by managing their condition. The program brings together psychologists, nurses, and doctors to lead six two-hour sessions over three months, combining mindfulness exercises, practical skills, and peer support. Researchers want to see if the program reduces stress about diabetes, improves overall mental health, and helps people manage their blood sugar better.
Many young adults with type 1 diabetes experience significant emotional distress—worry, frustration, and burnout from the daily demands of managing their condition. Current treatment often focuses only on physical health, leaving the emotional and psychological side underaddressed. This trial exists to test whether structured group counseling can fill that gap and help people feel better overall.

If you're selected, you'll first have a brief virtual screening interview with a psychologist or nurse to confirm you're eligible. Then you'll be randomly assigned to either start the program right away or join a waitlist group that begins three months later. The program itself involves attending six sessions (one every two weeks, each lasting two hours) with a psychologist and nurse, where you'll practice mindfulness, learn new coping skills, get homework assignments, and connect with other young adults facing similar challenges. Throughout the study, researchers will check in on how you're feeling emotionally and how well you're managing your blood sugar.
