Hi. Looking at drafting a Young people with Diabetes strategy. Anybody out there got good working practices and protocols to share? Thanks.

 

Try this Queensland Health publication.

Might be of help.

That's a tough one!I had a young man of 22 years of age come to the office.He has diabetes(last reading:325) and glaucoma to boot.

 

We are thinking of adolescents aged about 12-18 years. At what age are there signs of vasclar changes. This aged group start to be independent and have peer pressures and often go into denial about their diabetes.

 

Loiuse Stuart in Manchester UK has done a lot as has Sue Barnett ex United Bristol healthcare trust UK now with university of West of England, Sue's PhD was about neuropathy and off loading but i am sure part of it was noting neuropathy in adolescents too.

 

This is most helpful. Do you know how I might contact the podiatrists involved in the implementation of these guidelines? I am tryting to put together a bid to travel and learn and share information.
