Being a young adult is one of the most exciting times in life. Usually, it’s a period of life full of excitement and life changes. As a result, it can also be one of the most difficult times to manage diabetes. In fact, recent research has shown that less than 20% of people with type 1 diabetes aged 18–25 years are meeting their diabetes targets. One of the best ways to set your adolescent or young adult up for success is to ensure they have adequate support.
