Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Written for health care providers and families, Transitions in Care provides an effective solution for young type 1 diabetic patients who transition their health care from their pediatricians to adult care. The book details diabetes care in the age of intensive therapy and examines the importance of transitioning the patient. It covers the issues of follow-up and vulnerability to diabetes-related complications as well as the clinician?s role in behavioral change; key developmental milestones and tasks facing young adolescents; defining the patient-provider relationship; strategies for building commitment; reducing fear of complications; preventing burnout; and more.

Synopsis:

The essential framework for helping young adults with type 1 transition to healthy independence in their diabetes care

A one-of-a-kind resource, this book provides an educational framework for health care professionals to provide vital care to young adults at a time in their lives when disengagement from medical follow-up typically occurs. Relying on the guidance of experts who have years of experience in diabetes education, you can better recommend treatment approaches, prevent burnout, and reduce complications.
