Summary

The effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for adolescents with type 1 diabetes will be tested. This structured, time-limited, problem-orientated therapy will be used to impact on psychosocial factors influencing diabetic control, with the patient and therapist working together on specific goals to develop adaptive strategies.

Detailed description

Ninety 11-16 year olds with T1DM (duration \>1 year), attending paediatric diabetes outpatient clinics based in 4 centres in South-West England, UK, will be recruited to a randomised controlled trial of one to one sessions of CBT versus non-directive supportive counselling. Participants will attend up to 6 sessions (weekly) with either a CBT therapist or a counsellor, with 2 further sessions at 6 and 12 months. Follow up will continue for 12 months post intervention. HbA1c is the primary outcome measure. Psychological measures will also be measured.
