Interventions are clearly needed to support young adults living with T1D and improve outcomes. There is also a high rate of clinic non-attendance in this group, with relationships between young adults and healthcare professionals being cited as being an important factor in promoting clinic attendance. Balancing the management of a complex chronic condition with the demands and unpredictability of young adulthood can be especially difficult and is evidenced by relatively poor clinical outcomes including high blood glucose values and descriptions of diabetes distress in this group. Young adulthood can present as a challenging time for many, with pressures such as experimentation with drugs and alcohol, transitioning to higher education, new relationships and changing roles and responsibilities.
Young adults living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have been highlighted as being at risk of lower engagement with self-management and higher blood glucose levels in comparison to younger and older people with the condition.

What happens in other countries?Īs has been shown in other countries that have allowed people with diabetes to perform these jobs, this discrimination is no longer necessary. This legislation is out of date and does not take into account recent therapeutic progress, technological innovation, and how these jobs themselves have evolved over time.Ī petition was launched asking for the revision of the regulatory texts that prohibit people with diabetes from accessing certain professions so that they can perform the job of their choice, according to their abilities and the state of their health, on a case by case basis. They call on the French authorities to change the legislation. This includes professions like airplane pilot, firefighter, train driver, or police officer. For World Diabetes Day 2019, the French Diabetes Federation launched a campaign "People living with diabetes, some jobs turn their backs on you", designed to raise awareness of the fact that today in France and in Europe, if you have diabetes, you are excluded from joining some professions.
