Adolescent life with diabetes-Gender matters for level of distress. Experiences from the national TODS study

Abstract: Diabetes-related distress is a great burden for adolescents living with diabetes. Actively involved family and friends may reduce diabetes distress, but female adolescents appear to be particularly vulnerable and may need extra focus and support. Our findings indicate that pediatric diabetes teams working with teenagers must intensify the care during this vulnerable period of life in order to reduce the risk of both psychological and vascular complications in young adults.

“…Otro factor relevante es el sexo, evidenciándose un nivel de actividad física realizada por las niñas mucho menor que en los niños, por lo que sería un factor de riesgo para ellas. Así mismo, durante la pubertad, con los cambios hormonales, las mujeres tienen un peor manejo de la diabetes, produciendo así un incremento en las complicaciones 30 . Además, las mujeres presentan menores puntajes en evaluaciones de calidad de vida, problema que no tiene una explicación clara, pero podría deberse a que las adolescentes tienen más preocupaciones psicosociales y emocionales 47 .…”
