A Cognitive Behavioral Intervention to Reduce Fear of Hypoglycemia in Young Adults With T1DM
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Fear Reduction Intervention and Attention Control for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Completed, enrolled 51 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
All persons with type 1 diabetes are at risk for developing hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). This is a life-threatening condition that leads to profound fear of hypoglycemia and reduced quality of life. Fear of hypoglycemia results in glucose fluctuations (from high to low glucose levels). Young adults are particularly at risk because they report high levels of fear of hypoglycemia and poor glucose control. Currently, no diabetes self-management programs specifically address how to cope with fear of hypoglycemia. The investigators propose to pilot test a fear reduction intervention (Fear Reduction Efficacy Evaluation \[FREE\]) and its effects on fear of hypoglycemia, diabetes self-management, glucose control, and glucose variability.
