T1MED stands for T1D, Mental Health and Digital Interventions. It’s a research project working with patients, relatives and clinicians to understand the importance of mental health in Type 1 Diabetes; and how digital tools can help.
We hope to foster a compassionate community for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), caregivers, and healthcare providers.
Our mission is to enhance mental wellbeing in the T1D community and explore the transformative potential of digital solutions.
We are recruiting young people aged 11-17 with Type 1 Diabetes, their parents and carers, and healthcare professionals, anywhere in the UK. Here is what taking part involves.
Public and Patient Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) is central to our research, ensuring that people with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) shape our work. From guiding study design and reviewing materials to sharing personal experiences that bring real-world impact and human insight to everything we do.
We are co-designing and testing a well-being app for young people with T1D, informed by a systematic review and shaped by T1D stakeholders to ensure it’s evidence-based, user-friendly, and meets real mental wellbeing needs.
