It has been nearly 30 years since Blum et al. described the chasm between paediatric and adult health services. 1 Since then, the dramatic excursions in glycaemic control amongst adolescents (aged 12-18) and emerging adults (aged 19-30) with type 1 diabetes have been well-described. 2 As well, the short-term complications, long-term morbidity and premature mortality associated with suboptimal glycaemic control during these life stages have been well-documented. 3
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
