UP-CBT consists of approximately 16 individual sessions of CBT, conducted over the course of approximately 20 weeks. The UP-CBT consists of 5 core modules targeting negative emotionality and aversive reactions to emotional experiences. These modules are preceded by an introductory session that reviews the patient's presenting symptoms and provides a therapeutic rationale, as well as a module on motivational enhancement. The final module consists of relapse prevention. UP-CBT sessions will integrate a review of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) data and feedback will be provided by the therapist.

Use of commercially available, FDA-approved continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for 6 months post-randomization. Usual diabetes care will continue and participants can initiate a CGM review from their healthcare providers, as desired. In addition, a nurse practitioner with expertise in CGM will train each participant via video recordings in the proper placement of the device, and technical issues, and provide basic teaching at the beginning of the trial on interpretation of CGM data and self-titration of insulin/self-management. Written materials and online resources for recognizing and managing anxiety and depressive disorders, along with self-management information and treatment options to discuss with providers will also be provided.
