Academic achievement and metabolic control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes

Delay discounting associated with challenges to treatment adherence and glycemic control in young adults with type 1 diabetes

“…No significant associations were found between HbA1c and survey completion, age, race/ethnicity, or insulin pump use; however, education consistently explained variance in HbA1c after controlling for all other variables in the final model. The association between education and HbA1c is consistent with other reports showing positive relations between executive function and HbA1c (Duke & Harris, 2014), and also a study showing a strong association between GPA and HbA1c (Lansing et al, 2017b). Such associations may reflect general self-control processes that support self-management of diabetes.…”

The Relationships Among School Nurse to Student Ratios, Self-Efficacy, and Glycemic Control in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes

“…This sample had higher SEDM overall mean scores than those reported in previous studies (6.59-7.19) conducted by Berg et al (2009, Butner et al (2009), Kristensen et al (2018), andLansing et al (2018), although all but Kristensen et al (2018) had younger participants (10-14) than in the current study. The younger age in previous studies may account for lower SEDM overall mean scores as SEDM was weakly correlated with age in this and other research (Verchota & Sawin, 2016;Winsett, Stender, Gower, & Burghen, 2010).…”

“…Research on youth with T1D has demonstrated that self-efficacy is influential in diabetes self-management (Chih, Jan, Shu, & Lue, 2010), blood glucose monitoring frequency (Helgeson, Honcharuk, Becker, Escobar, & Siminerio, 2011), glycemic control (Lansing et al, 2018), adherence to treatment (Lansing et al, 2018), and dietary practices (Eisenberg, Lipsky, Dempster, Liu, & Nansel, 2016). Given the importance of self-efficacy to the optimization of glycemic control and the subsequent reduction in complications, school nurses can facilitate more effective T1D management in adolescents, such as through interactions that include education and reinforcement of diabetes-related skills as well as the importance of good glycemic control to overall health.…”

“…The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are relationships among these variables. Age was explored as it has been shown to impact diabetes self-efficacy (Verchota & Sawin, 2016) and glycemic control in adolescents (Kristensen, Birkebaek, Mose, Berg Jensen, & Thastum, 2018; Lansing et al, 2018; Verchota & Sawin, 2016). Diabetes duration was also explored as it, too, has been shown to influence self-efficacy for T1D management (Chih et al, 2010) and glycemic control in adolescents (Hilliard, Wu, Rausch, Dolan, & Hood, 2013; Kristensen et al, 2018).…”

The transition experiences of adolescents with type 1 diabetes from paediatric to adult care providers

“…Furthermore, the American Diabetes Association recommends that transition preparation with the adolescent begin at least 1 year prior to seeing an adult healthcare provider and possibly during the early teen years (Peters & Laffel, 2011). It is likely that the age of transition should be dependent on a multitude of factors, including executive function (Berg et al, 2018; Wiebe, Berg, Mello, & Kelly, 2018), grade point average (Lansing et al, 2018) and level of parental support (Berg et al, 2017; Goethals et al, 2017), and not by age alone.…”
