Brief Summary
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that puts people at risk for major health problems like heart disease. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes in adults. However, there has been a concerning rise in type 2 diabetes among teenagers. Diabetes develops through poor insulin sensitivity, meaning that insulin - an important chemical the body makes to keep blood sugar normal - isn't working properly. Type 2 diabetes can be prevented by improving insulin sensitivity. Stress is related to insulin sensitivity. Individuals who feel stressed have worse insulin sensitivity than individuals who do not feel stressed. In adults, decreasing stress leads to improvements in insulin sensitivity, but this hasn't been tested in teenagers. The purpose of this study is to find out if taking part in a brief group program to decrease stress will improve insulin sensitivity and lower diabetes risk in teenage girls.
