Ready or not? Greater readiness for independent self‐care predicts better self‐management but not HbA1c in teens with type 1 diabetes

Prior to the transfer from paediatric to adult health care transition, teens with type 1 diabetes seek increasing independence in diabetes self‐care while parent involvement in care decreases. Yet, few teens attain glycaemic targets. This study aimed to assess changes in perceived readiness for independent self‐care in teens with type 1 diabetes over 18 months, from both teens' and parents' perspectives, and to evaluate its predictive value for diabetes self‐management and haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c).
