What does this research mean for the field?

In adolescents with type 1 diabetes, perceived transition readiness to adult care is not associated with glycemic control, indicating that subjective readiness scores do not directly reflect metabolic outcomes. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

To evaluate transition readiness from pediatric to adult care and assess its relationship with glycemic control and clinical factors in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Key Points

To evaluate transition readiness from pediatric to adult care and assess its relationship with glycemic control and clinical factors in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
Conducted a cross-sectional study involving N=75 adolescents with type 1 diabetes aged 17–21 years.
Assessed transition readiness using a diabetes-adapted 23-item instrument based on the Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ).
Retrospectively analyzed clinical and demographic data, evaluating associations between readiness scores, HbA1c categories, and diabetes technology use.
The mean overall transition readiness score was 83.91 ± 14.46, with higher scores in communication and self-management domains but lower scores in healthcare navigation and transition-specific readiness.
Transition readiness scores were not significantly associated with HbA1c levels across clinical categories, age, gender, or the use of continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps.
Diabetes duration showed a statistically significant positive correlation with transition readiness scores (r = 0.311, p = 0.007).
