Abstract
Health care professionals working
with adolescents with type
1 diabetes will be familiar with
this situation and the accompanying
sense of frustration. As
psychologists working in multidisciplinary
diabetes centres,
we commonly receive referrals
for adolescents peppered with
phrases such as ‘non-compliant’,
‘poor diabetes self-management’,
‘overwhelmed and burnt
out’, ‘HbA1c >10%’. Familiar
patient names are repeatedly
brought to case consultation
where the team expresses mutual
frustration and concern and
where ideas are brainstormed
about what behavioural strategy
might be tried at the next
consultation with the family to
improve frequency of testing or
bolusing.
