Couples With Diabetes

Our Purpose

We are now recruiting young couples with type 1 diabetes to participate in a 14-day study on diabetes management. If you are interested in participating in our current study, please contact us by email or by leaving us a phone message. 
Email: coupleswithdiabetes@byu.edu 
Call/Text: 385-382-0221

On this website, you can also find blog posts and summaries of our research. We hope to provide couples living with type 1 diabetes a website where they can obtain resources and education around diabetes management, feelings of validation, and unity in couple relationships with type 1 diabetes.
