Description

Children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) often face physical and emotional challenges due to the daily demands of managing this chronic condition. These challenges can impact outcomes such as quality of life (QOL), barriers to diabetes adherence (BDA), and blood glucose levels (measured by HbA1c). This proposal focuses on understanding how different psychosocial factors (depression, diabetes distress, fear of hypoglycemia, family conflict, sleep patterns, COVID-19 stressors, and problems with executive functioning) affect the outcome variables. Baseline data from the Diabetes Journey Project will be analyzed to find relationships between these variables through bivariate correlations and regression analyses. The findings from this study aim to inform interventions that address psychosocial challenges, ultimately improving diabetes management and quality of life for children and adolescents with T1D.
