Despite insufficient data, writing panel will give recommendations for preparation, transfer, and follow-up for youth with diabetes transitioning from pediatric to adult endocrine care.
MADRID — A new consensus statement in development will aim to advise on best practices for navigating the transition of youth with diabetes from pediatric to adult diabetes care, despite limited data.
The final statement will provide clinical guidance but, at the same time,"will be very transparent where more work is needed," she said. Maahs added,"Another issue that's a big problem in the United States is that children lose their parents' insurance at 26…Some become uninsured after that, or their insurance plan isn't accepted by the adult provider."Steven James, PhD, RN, of the University of the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Australia, presented the limited data upon which the statement will be based.
Similarly, few involved a psychologist or had a structured transition education program . Even in high-income countries, fewer than half reported using these measures. Overall, a majority reported barriers to offering patients a positive transition experience. A similar survey of patients and carers will be published soon and will be included in the new statement's evidence base, James said.
