Summary

This trial will help kids with type 1 diabetes and their families manage obesity and improve their long-term outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 6-17 with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) who are overweight/obese, use an insulin pump and continuous glucose monitoring device. They must have had T1D for at least a year and have one parent willing to join the program who is also overweight/obese. Excluded are those unable to do mild exercise, with certain chronic/autoimmune conditions or on weight-affecting meds.
What is being tested?
The study tests a Family-Based Treatment adapted for youth with T1D to address obesity in them and their parents. It aims to improve metabolic control in kids and tackle obesity-related issues in both generations through hybrid delivery of treatment that includes counseling.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves lifestyle changes rather than medication, side effects may include typical reactions to increased physical activity or dietary adjustments such as muscle soreness or digestive changes.
