Brief summary (registry, in English)

The transfer of young people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) to adult care occurs during a critical period of life, while many young people with T1D have unsatisfactory glycemic control. The preparation to take over responsibility for their health and self-care as well as increasing their participation in care are important aspects for strengthening people's own ability, an important component of person-centered care.

The study is conducted at two hospitals in Stockholm, Sweden where 140 patients will be randomized to either a structured, person-centered transition program over a 2.5 -year period or to usual care. Outcome measures is empowerment, participation and responsibility in care, health status, glycemic control as well as the participants' experiences of care during transfer.
