Mothers of adolescents with type 1 diabetes experience high levels of stress and depressive symptoms, which impair their ability to monitor and manage diabetes treatment effectively. Maternal stress and depressive symptoms are linked with negative outcomes in adolescents, including deteriorating glycemic control, poorer quality of life, and greater depressive symptoms. Dr. Jaser aims to develop and test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a cognitive-behavioral intervention to reduce depressive symptoms and improve parenting in mothers of adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Currently, women with gestational diabetes receive little advice on
how to reduce their risk for type 2 diabetes after delivery. By
studying modifiable risk factors in greater detail and designing
interventions based on these results, Dr. Chakkalakal aims to
develop effective, sustainable, and personalized strategies to help
women with a recent history of gestational diabetes prevent or
delay the onset of diabetes.
