Sometimes, you may wonder if there is a way to help others, to make small improvements that lead to better changes.  As you may know, this is what I consider to be one of the key 'silver linings' within T1D... when we are able to use our personal knowledge and expertise within the T1D community, we then receive the satisfaction of knowing that we aren't just waiting, but that we are actively working together to change the face of T1D.  

Today, we have the perfect opportunity for families with children ages 11 to 16 years old  (AND PARENTS TOO!!!) around the country.

Teens and Parents will also earn $ for answering questions about T1D within a set period.  

This is an excellent opportunity to share that T1D knowledge is VALUABLE!

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP? 

Many adolescents struggle with managing type 1 diabetes (T1D) and about 75% of them have A1Cs greater than target recommendations. This often goes hand in hand with coping difficulties, lower quality of life and high risk of complications. Psychosocial factors are major influences on T1D outcomes, but regular T1D care often does not address these issues. In this 3-year, NIH-funded study, Dr. Tim Wysocki will coordinate the development and testing of a Transdisciplinary Care (TC) model in which T1D is co-managed by an Advanced Practice Nurse, Dietitian, and Psychologist who will see adolescents together. The project will use “crowdsourcing” to obtain input from separate crowds of teens with T1D, parents, and healthcare providers to gradually develop this new model of healthcare delivery. Once the TC model has been developed and team members are trained, the team will complete a randomized controlled trial to evaluate effects of the TC model on health and psychosocial outcomes. We are currently recruiting for the TC Model Development Phase.
