Summary

This trial will test whether an evidence-based eating disorder prevention program, adapted for people with Type 1 Diabetes, is more effective than an educational control group in reducing body image concerns, eating pathology, and improving glycemic control.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals aged 14-35 with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) who have been diagnosed for at least a year, are using insulin, and have some body image concerns. It's not suitable for those without these concerns, with less than a year's diagnosis of T1D, or who've had recent severe eating disorder treatment.

What is being tested?

The study tests the Diabetes Body Project (DBP), an adaptation of the Body Project designed to prevent eating disorders in people with T1D. Participants will be compared to an educational control group to see if DBP reduces body image issues and improves both eating patterns and glycemic control.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves psychological interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects like you'd expect from drugs aren't applicable. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort discussing body image and eating habits.
