This study is for young Black adults aged 18-30 with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Type 1 Diabetes is a condition where the body can't make insulin, which helps control blood sugar. Some people with T1D may feel distressed due to their condition, which can make it hard to manage. This study will look at a special program called T1DES, designed to help manage diabetes and reduce stress. The program will be tested to see if it helps improve blood sugar control and overall diabetes management. Participants will be split into two groups: one will try T1DES, and the other will get regular diabetes education.

• The study lasts for 6 months.
• Participants will complete surveys and interviews.
• They must be able to attend sessions and use a cell phone for texts.

To join, you must be a Kaiser Permanente Georgia member, aged 18-30, with a hemoglobin A1c level greater than 7.5, which indicates high average blood sugar. You will also need to identify as Black or African American and read in English. The study hopes to create lasting improvements in diabetes care for young Black adults.
