This is a prospective, interventional, cohort study, meaning that researchers will follow and observe a group of enrolled study participants over a period of time (one to two months) to gather information and record any developments of the outcomes in question. This study will recruit 125 participants with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) to: 1. Analyze the effect of reducing the cholesterol levels in the blood on platelet function. (Platelets are small cells in the blood which help form blood clots to slow or stop bleeding and to help wounds heal 2. Analyze the effect of reducing the cholesterol levels in the blood on While Blood Cell (WBC) gene expression, (White Blood Cells are part of the body's immune system which help the body fight infection and other diseases) and 3. Analyze the effect of reducing the cholesterol levels in the blood on vascular or blood vessel function.
More than 40% of young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) also have overweight or obesity. Each of these diagnoses increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. GLP-1 analogues are anti-obesity medications that are cardioprotective in adults with type 2 diabetes, however evaluation of these agents in people with T1D has been limited to glycemic outcomes. Investigators aim to study the impact of GLP-1 analogue obesity treatment on markers of cardiometabolic risk in young adults with T1D and obesity.
This study is designed to compare two behavioral approaches to reduce diabetes distress ("the expected burdens, concerns, fears, and threats that arise from the challenges of living with diabetes") in adults with type 1 diabetes. At the study baseline, participants will be randomized to take part in one of two virtual, group-based interventions (the "Primary" intervention) utilizing either an emotions-focused or a problem-solving approach to reduce diabetes distress. After the initial intervention, participants will complete surveys to assess their response to the material. Participants who are determined to be "non-responders" (i.e., the Primary intervention was not effective) will be re-randomized to one of two "Supplementary" interventions, which will include individualized sessions to learn and/or practice strategies related to either the psychological or problem-solving approach.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if repeat bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccinations can confer a beneficial immune and metabolic effect in new onset pediatric Type 1 diabetes.

The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute is performing this research to accelerate diverse disease research using cells from the body (such as skin or blood cells) to make stem cells and other types of cells, conduct research on the samples, perform genetic testing, and store the samples for future use. Through this research, researchers hope to identify future treatments or even cures for the major diseases of our time.
