Abstract
Following transition to adult care, young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus may be disengaged from their clinical team, have increased rates of hospitalisation and are often lost to follow-up. The underlying issues may arise during paediatric care. Of all age groups, young adults with type 1 diabetes are the least likely to meet target glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c, < 7.0%), increasing the risk of diabetes complications.
