Detailed description

Type 1 Diabetes (TD1) has a significant impact on individuals dealing with this chronic metabolic condition, their families and the whole society. A particularly vulnerable group of individuals with TD1 are adolescents. The investigators created a short (4 sessions) self-compassion intervention for adolescents with T1D and their caregivers. Both feasibility and potential clinical effectiveness will be assessed using a single-case, multiple baseline experimental design where psychological, behavioral, and metabolic outcomes will be evaluated at baseline, post intervention, and 3- and 6-months follow ups. Moreover, ecological momentary assessment will be performed daily.
