Comparison of compliance and outcomes in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus attending a co-located pediatric and transition diabetes service

Abstract

Adolescence is a challenging period for diabetes management, particularly when transitioning to adult care. There are reports highlighting concerns that transition to adult care may lead to poor glycemic control and clinic engagement. Our aim was to determine if a co-located pediatric and transition diabetes service would lead to better transition outcomes.
