Does your child have a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes? Are they in the junior cycle of secondary school in Ireland? We want them to have their voice heard about their experiences at school. A trainee psychologist is conducting interviews with adolescents in 1st, 2nd or 3rd year of secondary school. Please click on the link to learn more about the study: youtu.be/WhLPkVoBo7s This study aims to inform future support and services for young people with type 1 diabetes. If you are interested in giving your child a space to talk with a trainee psychologist about their experiences, please email [email protected]. #type1diabetes

Are you transitioning from paediatric diabetes clinic to adult diabetes services soon or have you moved to adult diabetes care services in the last few years? Are you 14-26 years old or a parent/carer or a friend (18+) of an adolescent/young adult with diabetes living in Ireland? If so, the HSE would like to hear from you about your experience of moving from paediatric to adult health services! Click this link collector.sensemaker-suite.c… and share your story so the HSE can learn how to improve this challenging process. This is your opportunity to share how difficult or easy it was, how prepared your clinics were, how different (or similar) the care in adult diabetes services compared to paediatric ones is, and how long it takes and how smooth it is to move to adult diabetes services. Have your say and share your own or your child's/friend's experience to help improve the transition of diabetes care across the country!
