Abstract

6 voices in 10 minutes: Expanding the horizons of education

Diabetes education in the transition

Adolescence is a period of changes in the growth, development and formation of the individual's personality.

During this stage, the adolescent with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) travels a path, begun in childhood with his family, towards self-care and autonomy that he will finally achieve in adulthood. On this path you find new spaces for socialization and situations different from those raised in childhood, such as social activities with peers, the development of sexuality, exposure to substance consumption, living alone or starting to work, among others, which must be taken into account. taken into account when planning diabetes education.
