Optimising the Delivery of Diabetes Distress Informed Care for Its Prevention, Detection, and Management in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: a Feasibility Study (D-stress Study)

Sponsor: Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Up to one in two adults with type 1 diabetes find living with and managing diabetes to be emotionally challenging. This 'emotional side' of diabetes - feeling worried, frustrated, overwhelmed, sad, burnt-out - is called diabetes distress. It affects people's quality of life and can hinder them from managing their diabetes as well as they can. In the UK, the NHS needs to better understand how to best support people feeling emotionally burdened by diabetes. So, we have worked with diabetes distress specialists around the world to develop an NHS pathway to care for diabetes distress. This pathway to care involves training diabetes teams to recognise, assess and talk about diabetes distress at routine appointments. If people have a high diabetes distress level, they may be able to take part in an online group program to help them manage their type 1 diabetes and emotions. The feasibility study will test this pathway to care with people with type 1 diabetes in the NHS setting.
