Systematic review reveals preserved generic quality of life alongside disease-specific burdens in youth with type 1 diabetes, highlighting the need for tailored psychosocial care.
Although children and adolescents with T1DM have to live with a demanding treatment regime, overall results revealed that their generic QoL is not impaired compared to healthy peers. However, disease-specific QoL problems, including a negative impact of diabetes on daily functioning, and diabetes-related worries were certainly present. Longitudinal research is needed in order to provide tailored care for children of all ages with T1DM.
