Iranian diabetic adolescent girls’ quality of life: perspectives on barriers

Abstract

As most paediatric teams are multidisciplinary, sharing the information regarding QoL barriers as part of ongoing clinical care is crucial and should help to tailor care to the needs of the adolescent with diabetes.

A qualitative study of young people's perspectives of living with type 1 diabetes: do perceptions vary by levels of metabolic control?

“…Both groups said most people outside the family did not remember, know about, or care that participants had T1DM. This is consistent with other findings suggesting this group, including teachers, may not remember receiving information or know much about T1DM (Wennick et al 2009, Maslakpak et al 2010.
