A growing body of research shows that living with type 1 Diabetes as a young adult is associated with more Diabetesrelated problems as well as reduced wellbeing (Bryden, Dunger, Mayou, Peveler & Neil, 2003; National Health Service, 2015). Despite growing awareness of the risks faced by young adults with type 1 Diabetes, there is a lack of evidence-based guidance in the research for supporting young adults to improve selfmanagement and outcomes (O’Hara, Hynes, O’Donnell, Nery, Byrne, Heller & Dinneen, 2016).enYOUNG PEOPLEDIABETES MELLITUSArticleEuropean Health Psychologist
