Background
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a demanding condition for both adolescents and their parents. The first aim of this study was to investigate the acceptability of an acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) group intervention for 12–16-year-old adolescents with T1D. The second aim was to investigate how adolescents whose glycemic control improved during the intervention differed from those who did not improve.
