“…The sensitivity for capturing risk conditions depends on whether all diagnoses on existing conditions are registered during health care visits, and that patients regularly see a doctor for their condition. A Norwegian study in adults found that only 60% of adult patients with diabetes had seen a specialist the last year (42). However, children in Norway with chronic conditions such as diabetes or epilepsy, are very likely to have annual visits and check-ups in specialist care and are thereby expected to be correctly de ned in this registrybased study.…”

“…(11,12) Finally, the results of studies point to the possibility of health professionals to use social media to provide support for the education of patients with DM and their caregivers, disseminating useful and safe knowledge and information related to disease treatment and control. (7,11) Given the above and considering the high prevalence of 1DM, there is complexity in the management of this condition, especially by young people. There is a low demand for health services from them, (13) making it imperative to develop actions that overcome traditional care.…”
