We have recently commenced a new area of research examining the mental health and wellbeing of young people with type 1 diabetes, with a particular focus on how these factors relate to school experiences.
This is an emerging and important area of research because we know that children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes are at risk of developing poor mental health, particularly in relation to their school experience.
We are trying to understand what underlies mental health problems in young people with diabetes and how we can best treat them.
