Relevant participants were invited by mail or telephone. Group interviews were conducted to uncover the specific knowledge requirements essential for improving their diabetes health literacy. Based on these interviews, four education sessions were held.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The participants identified pertinent topics, including alcohol consumption, blood glucose control, educational and employment aspects, nutrition, sexuality, pregnancy, relationships, and interactions with health care professionals (HCPs). Notably, the participants expressed a preference for personalized interactions over information dissemination through digital platforms such as mobile applications. Building on this insight, we organized four sessions to provide education on the identified subjects. These sessions were designed to facilitate networking among participants and offer them the opportunity for discussion. Although invitations were extended to all individuals aged 18-25 years with type 1 diabetes (<i>n</i> = 52), only 13 patients and seven relatives participated.
