Transitions From Pediatric to Adult Health Care
Transitioning to adulthood can be stressful for teens with diabetes and their families. Teens and young adults need to assume more responsibility for diabetes self-management and make more independent judgments about their health care needs. To aid this process, NDEP has assembled materials and resources to make the transition to adult health care a smooth one.
