Description
Alec Ohanian and co-authors gather voices on type 1 diabetes care for children in Armenia. Their 2026 study sits at the national referral center in Yerevan. Twelve teens with the disease, and their caregivers, took part. They came from seven of the country's ten regions. Talks were mined for shared themes about daily care and its snags.
Five themes came out. Test strips from the state often fell short. Specialist care clusters in the capital, so travel is a burden. State support stops cold at age 18. A charity group, KATIL, fills many gaps in care and comfort. Stigma follows the children at home, school, and even in clinics. The team frames the finds as a base for policy reform.
