Patients who are living with type 1 diabetes face a number of challenges in successfully managing their disease—and transitioning from a pediatric to a new adult doctor can be yet another obstacle. A variety of resources have been developed to help the care team prepare for and successfully manage this transition.
: A checklist to help the pediatric care team begin a conversation with the patient about what they need to do to successfully manage their diabetes without parental supervision.: An assessment of relevant psycho-social, familial, and cognitive factors that the adult care team should be aware of when caring for their new patient.: A template for the pediatric care provider to summarize the patient’s medical record, which is then transferred to the adult care provider.: A form for use by the emerging adult when first seeing their new provider to let them know who can be informed of personal health information or be allowed in the room during examination.
