Abstract

Only 21 % of adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) meet glycemic goals set forth by the American Diabetes Association. Adherence to therapy is a particular concern in this population, and the association between poor adherence and worsening glycemic control indicates that there is a critical need to improve adherence to therapy in adolescents with T1D. In this article, we review barriers to adherence in adolescents with T1D and discuss interventions aimed at improving adherence to therapy and glycemic control. Interventions include technology-based applications, family-based therapies, motivational interviewing, and others. Notably, less than 10 % of the interventions reviewed are provider-led, clinic-based interventions, and few have focused on regimen-related aspects of adherence. This article also outlines the importance of provider communication and the role of providers in facilitating adherence behaviors in adolescents with T1D. Finally, we suggest future directions of research to improve adherence to therapy in adolescents with T1D.

Most youth with type 1 diabetes in the T1D Exchange Clinic Registry do not meet American Diabetes Association or International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes clinical guidelines. Diabetes Care. 2013;36(7):2035–7. doi:10.2337/dc12-1959. This article demonstrates that even before the pediatric glycemic goals of the ADA changed, most youth were not achieving recommended hemoglobin A1c levels.

Diabetes Care. 2012;35(6):1219–24. doi:10.2337/dc11-2163. This article finds that blood glucose monitoring frequency can be used as a surrogate for treatment adherence and that declining adherence to therapy leads to worsening glycemic control. Notably, the article also demonstrates that glycemic control should not be used as a surrogate for adherence to therapy.
