| Abstract: | Peer victimization (PV) is linked with glycemic deviations among youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The role of social self-efficacy remains understudied. We examined social self-efficacy as a mediator in the relation between PV and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and as a mediator in the relation between PV and physical activity. Participants were 198 youth (M(SD) age = 13.82 (2.70)) with T1D. A serial mediation model demonstrated social self-efficacy and diabetes embarrassment mediated the relation between PV and HbA1c. Social self-efficacy mediated the relation between PV and physical activity. Providers should consider physical activity and social adjustment when evaluating youths' treatment adherence.
