Description
Kenzie Tapp and co-authors asked parents what they need as their teens with diabetes move to adult care in this 2025 study. The teens, aged fourteen to sixteen, have type 1 diabetes and attend a specialist clinic. The parents were about to join a pilot program of group lessons and peer support.
Thirteen parents gave interviews before the program began. Four themes emerged. Parents wanted a learning community with two-way exchange, not lectures. They named the strain of loosening control as teens take over care. They listed the diabetes skills they still hoped to learn. The findings will shape how the program supports families through a handover that often wobbles blood sugar control.
