Written by three psychologists with more than 50 years of collective experience in the field of diabetes and youth, Teens with Diabetes provides evidence-based techniques for clinicians to treat the psychological needs of children with diabetes and help them transition into their teenage years. The authors have provided care to thousands of diabetic teens and their families from initial diagnosis to leaving home for college. Any professional working with diabetic teens, including psychologists, physicians, social workers, dietitians, and nurse educators, needs this how-to handbook for working with what is arguably one of the most difficult populations in diabetes. Topics covered include handling the initial diagnosis of diabetes in teens, talking with young people about diabetes in a manner that is effective and reduces reactivity, improving diabetes self-care, helping families negotiate the challenges of adolescent diabetes, dealing with peer relations, dealing with high-risk issues related to diabetes, and handling with mood problems.

Contents

D iabetes is the second most prevalent chronic disease in childhood, occurring in about one of every 400500 people below the age of 20 years in the United States. The prevalence of diabetes in this age-group is second only to that of asthma. Diabetes is a lifelong disease, and children with diabetes become adolescents with diabetes and then adults with diabetes. In adults, diabetes is a leading cause of new-onset blindness (due to diabetic retinopathy), renal failure (resulting in the need for dialysis or renal transplantation), nontraumatic amputations, and macrovascular disease (contributing to cerebrovascular [stroke] or coronary artery [heart attack] disease). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2012, diabetes was the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S. and was a major contributor to the first (heart disease), fourth (cerebrovascular disease), and eighth (renal disease) leading causes. Therefore, overall, diabetes is a devastating disorder.

Metabolic control of diabetes (mostly, but not exclusively, glycemic/glucose control) is clearly associated with the long-term outcomes of diabetes. Better glycemic control, as determined by hemoglobin A1C, when started relatively early in the course of diabetes (even during adolescence), reduces the subsequent risks of retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and macrovascular disease. Although this fact has been clearly demonstrated for type 1 diabetes by the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT)/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) Study and for type 2 diabetes by the U.K. Diabetes Prospective Study (UKPDS), morbidity and mortality associated with long-term diabetes complications still occur at an unacceptable rate.

Despite advancing knowledge over recent decades, the physiology of glucose metabolism and the pathophysiology of diabetes are not completely understood. Even after more than 90 years since the discovery and initial use of insulin to treat diabetes by Banting and Best, normalization of metabolic control remains an elusive goal for most people with type 1 and many with type 2 diabetes. For type 1 diabetes, which most commonly starts during childhood and depends on insulin replacement as the mainstay of treatment, the development of improved insulins and insulin analogs, self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and insulin pumps (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion [CSII]) has significantly improved long-term outcomes and quality of life. However, normalization of metabolic control is still not a reality for most.

Managing diabetes requires attention to detail to a complex and changing medical regimen, usually multiple times a day. Diabetes management affects and is affected by every aspect of daily life. There is no vacation from the procedures related to diabetes management. Perhaps more than any other chronic disease of childhood, with the possible exception of asthma, diabetes requires continuous attention by the individual and his or her family and caregivers. The complex nature and imperfection of insulin replacement and the diabetes management regimen place substantial burdens on patients and their families. This burden is present at all ages and stages of life with different implications at each stage. However, these burdens are most challenging during adolescence. The nature of adolescence and the struggles prominent during this stage of psychosocial development conflict with the demands and continual immersion required to optimize metabolic control of diabetes. And even when implemented diligently, the results may be less than anticipated. Clearly, there is more to optimal diabetes management than providing the right amount of insulin at the correct times relative to nutrient intake and exercise. Optimal management requires an understanding and appreciation of the stresses and burdens of diabetes superimposed on the underlying social and family structure and characteristics.

In this book, Drs. Michael Harris, Korey Hood, and Jill Weissberg-Benchell, three child psychologists with considerable personal, clinical, and academic experience with children and teenagers with diabetes, use their collective experience to provide a developmental and psychosocial context for optimizing diabetes management in teens. Further, they highlight real-world examples of the conflicts and challenges that exist in adolescents with diabetes and their families and give practical approaches to facilitate resolution. Each chapter tackles a different aspect of adolescentparent and adolescenthealth care provider interactions and uses examples of approaches to deal with the given situation. Health care providers caring for adolescents with type 1 diabetes need to apply these examples and approaches when approaching teenagers with type 1 diabetes and their families.
