“…The quality of life and self-efficacy scales were disease specific so comparisons with the non-diabetic population are not appropriate, however mean scores for both were above the midpoint for the scale indicating relatively high quality of life and self-efficacy. These scores were similar to recent studies on young people with Type 1 diabetes (Grey et al, 2000;Grey et al, 1998;Howells et al, 2002). There were though large standard deviations around the mean scores, suggesting that some individuals within the sample were having psychological difficulties.…”

Physical activity and psychological well being contribute to positive lifestyle and well being in youngsters who have Type 1 diabetes. The aims of this study were to objectively assess the physical activity levels of children with Type 1 diabetes, and investigate associations between physical activity levels, psychological well-being and HbA 1c . Thirty-six children, mean age 12.8 years, participated in the investigation. Physical activity was assessed using heart rate monitoring over four days. Children further completed the Diabetes Quality of Life for Youths Questionnaire, the Physical Self-Perception Profile for Children, and the Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Scale. Routine outpatient HbA 1c measurements were recorded. There were no significant associations between psychological well-being and physical activity, or HbA 1c and physical activity, thus suggesting physical activity does not directly relate to psychological wellbeing in children with Type 1 diabetes. It may be that the effect of physical activity differs from that in children without Type 1 diabetes because of the place of physical activity within diabetes management and the need to balance this with insulin dosage and dietary intake to maintain blood glucose levels.

“…The next most critical goal is the adaptation of established parenting education curricula, such as the Systematic Training for Effecting Parenting (STEP) program 23 and Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child, 24 which are based on the concepts of parenting styles discussed earlier and into which could be integrated proven pediatric behavioral diabetes family-based interventions, such as Coping Skills Training, 25 Behavioral Family Systems Therapy, 26 and Family Teamwork. 27 For diabetes health care providers, the child development literature instructs us to help parents build, if necessary, a new parenting style specific to diabetes management.…”

In Brief This articles focuses on family conflict and parenting behavior and their link to self-esteem, treatment adherence, and glycemic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. From the diabetes literature and normal child development research, the concept of “authoritative parenting” seems especially applicable to the coping tasks facing parents and youth around the management of type 1 diabetes. Research on general family conflict, diabetes-specific family conflict, and child development are discussed with respect to the translation of findings to assist health care providers and parents.

“…Low-cost clinic-based interventions in younger adolescents have yielded a positive impact on both glycemic control and quality of life. [16][17][18] Identifying other effective, low-cost interventions using telemedicine may benefit the adolescent and young adult age group. 19,20 Emerging technologies, such as cell phone text messaging, offer another inexpensive yet well-accepted way to increase communication with adolescents with diabetes.…”

Background: Cell phone text messaging, via the Short Messaging Service (SMS), offers the promise of a highly portable, well-accepted, and inexpensive modality for engaging youth and young adults in the management of their diabetes. This pilot and feasibility study compared two-way SMS cell phone messaging with e-mail reminders that were directed at encouraging blood glucose (BG) monitoring. Methods: Forty insulin-treated adolescents and young adults with diabetes were randomized to receive electronic reminders to check their BG levels via cell phone text messaging or e-mail reminders for a 3-month pilot study. Electronic messages were automatically generated, and participant replies with BG results were processed by the locally developed Computerized Automated Reminder Diabetes System (CARDS). Participants set their schedule for reminders on the secure CARDS website where they could also enter and review BG data. Results: Of the 40 participants, 22 were randomized to receive cell phone text message reminders and 18 to receive e-mail reminders; 18 in the cell phone group and 11 in the e-mail group used the system. Compared to the e-mail group, users in the cell phone group received more reminders (180.4 vs. 106.6 per user) and responded with BG results significantly more often (30.0 vs. 6.9 per user, P ϭ 0.04). During the first month cell phone users submitted twice as many BGs as e-mail users (27.2 vs. 13.8 per user); by month 3, usage waned. Conclusions: Cell phone text messaging to promote BG monitoring is a viable and acceptable option in adolescents and young adults with diabetes. However, maintaining interest levels for prolonged intervals remains a challenge.
