All participants had type 1 diabetes, were registered at a single hospital in Stockholm, Sweden, and were identified in the diabetes clinic’s patient register by hospital HCPs. The inclusion criteria of the study were access to a smartphone or computer, duration of diabetes for more than 1 year and an age of 18–25 years. Participants who met any of the following criteria were excluded from the study: diagnosis of severe depression, eating disorder, or other significant mental illness, history of alcohol or drug abuse, or presence of severe complications related to diabetes. The diabetes nurse and/or physician made the decision on whether each diabetes patient had the compliance required to participate in the study. All individuals received verbal and written information about the study before inclusion. Originally, our intention was to include 100 participants in the study. However, the widespread development of Covid-19 within society presented obstacles that hindered the recruitment of study subjects.
