Diabetes distress and teens
During National Diabetes Week, we take a look at diabetes distress and what research the Children's Diabetes Centre is doing to improve the mental health and wellbeing of young people with diabetes and their families.
The teenage years are a particularly vulnerable time for young people with type 1 diabetes from a mental health perspective, with adolescents twice as likely to develop a mental health condition than their peers without diabetes.
Diabetes stigma study
The aim of this study is to explore the experience of stigma in adolescents with type 1 diabetes and its association with diabetes self-management and glycaemic control.
Mental health/schools research
Meet the team responsible for the Centre's mental health and schools research and find out what projects they are working on in our Q & A series focusing on the Centre's research.
