The goal of this observational study is to examine the impact of an online peer support group in Children's Mercy teens with Type 1 Diabetes.
The main objectives are to examine the feasibility and acceptability of the Diabetes Link's online social platform Discord among youth with diabetes as it relates to peer support, diabetes management, and usability and to examine the efficacy/magnitude of the effect of the Discord group on treatment adherence among youth with diabetes.
Participants will participate in an online peer support group for 3 months and provide their feedback while doing so.

| Secondary | Diabetes Measures | percentage of HbA1c | Of the 4 participants who actively made posts and attended events in the online group, there was one participant for whom the HbA1c before and after gap is larger than the 180 days typically used in intervention analyses, and the dates of the before and after A1c measurements do not align with the intervention timing. So the HbA1c was examined for the other 3 participants. | Posted | Mean | Full Range | percentage of HbA1c | 3 months |
