Type 1 diabetes is well-recognised as a continuum heralded by the development of islet autoantibodies, progression to islet autoimmunity causing beta cell destruction, culminating in insulin deficiency and clinical disease. Abnormalities of glucose homeostasis are known to exist well before the onset of typical symptoms.

A new research study conducted by Professor Jeneva Ohan and Dr Keely Bebbington aims to develop our understanding of how adolescents navigate these disclosure decisions, and how we can support them to feel more confident when talking to others about their diabetes.
