Description
Summary:6 voices in 10 minutes: Expanding the horizons of education Diabetes education during transition times Adolescence is a period in which occur changes related to individuals’ growth, development and personality formation. During this phase, adolescents suffering from type 1 diabetes go through a path, since childhood and together with their family, towards self-care and personal autonomy to be reached in adulthood.

These experiences need to be considered when planning diabetes education.
