The purpose of the study is to learn about how to improve access to care during adolescence/young adulthood and to see if Virtual Team Clinic is an acceptable form of care. Virtual Team Clinic is a new approach to provide care to (middle/high) school aged patients living with Type 1 Diabetes and their families. This new approach consists of Virtual Team Clinic appointments (primarily telemedicine, and/or in person as necessary). The study also incorporates group visits/medical appointments with a multidisciplinary care team (e.g., RD, RN, Social Worker, etc.). Each group will have a special theme and learning experience. You will learn how to better take care of your diabetes, get support from others, and hopefully have fun.
