Changing the T1DE - Clinical Trial
¿Cuál es el Propósito de este estudio?
We are doing this study to test a new intervention for people with type 1 diabetes who also have disordered eating. We hope the strategy we are testing in this study can improve diabetes management and decrease eating disorder symptoms and emotional distress.
