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.
The Discovery Diabetes study is testing a new support program called the Discovery Program designed to help teenagers and young adults (ages 13–21) manage type 1 diabetes more effectively. The program uses personalized text messages and check-ins on your phone, along with support from a nurse practitioner, to help you solve problems and overcome obstacles that might make diabetes management harder. Half of the participants will receive the Discovery Program, while the other half will continue with their regular diabetes care, so researchers can see if the new program actually helps.
Many teenagers and young adults with type 1 diabetes struggle not just with the medical side of managing their condition, but also with the emotional and psychological stress that comes with it. This trial exists to find out whether adding personalized mobile support and problem-solving help can make managing diabetes easier and reduce both blood sugar problems and the stress people feel about their condition.

If you join this study, you'll be randomly assigned to either the Discovery Program group or the standard care group. If you're in the Discovery Program group, you'll receive personalized messages and support on your phone, along with structured problem-solving sessions with a clinician to help you overcome barriers to managing your diabetes. Both groups will complete surveys and share information from their medical records at the start of the study, at 3 months, and at 6 months to measure how well blood sugar control improves and how much stress about diabetes decreases.
