Innovative Psychosocial Interventions in Children and Adolescents Living with Type 1 Diabetes

Dear Colleagues,

Biomedical innovations in the care of children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes have revolutionized both diabetes care and diabetes self-management (e.g., CGMs, insulin pumps, closed loop systems, new insulin analogs, etc.). In addition, there have been equally innovative and life changing interventions in the psychosocial and behavioral aspects of type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents. This Special Issue will focus on the innovations in the “lived experiences” of children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes, including interventions that contribute to lifting the burden of a disease, interventions that improve both health and psychosocial outcomes, interventions that increase access to the highest level of care, and interventions that improve the overall quality of life for these children and adolescents.
