HelloBetter Diabetes is an interactive psychological therapy program for the reduction of depressive symptom severity in persons with diabetes mellitus type 1 or type 2. Based on a randomized controlled trial, it was demonstrated that participation in this online program can effectively reduce depressive symptoms. The 12-week online course conveys, in addition to well-founded psychoeducation through texts, videos, and audios, effective strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), including behavioral activation and problem-solving techniques. Furthermore, diabetes-specific topics are addressed, such as establishing a trusting physician-patient conversation, the impact and effects of diabetes on partnerships, dealing with ruminating thoughts related to the illness, as well as diabetes-specific topics such as nutrition, physical activity, and healthy sleep. All content has been specifically adapted for the target group of individuals affected by diabetes mellitus type 1 or type 2. In addition, an online diary and repeated symptom checks are available to record, monitor, and evaluate one's own progress. To ensure patient safety, a personal psychological contact person supports participants throughout the entire course by providing feedback on the accurate completion of the program.
