The Supporting Emerging Adults With Diabetes (SEAD) Program: An Adult-Based Real-World Clinical Model That Improves Hospitalizations, Diabetes Technology Uptake, and Glycemic Outcomes in Underserved Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes.

Objective: Underserved young adults (YA) with type 1 diabetes (T1D) experience the worst outcomes across the life span. We developed and integrated the Supporting Emerging Adults with Diabetes (SEAD) program into routine endocrinology care to address unmet social and medical challenges.

Research Design And Methods: This study was designed as a longitudinal cohort study, with prospective data collection over 4 years on YA in SEAD compared with usual endocrine care.

Solutions to Address Inequity in Diabetes Technology Use in Type 1 Diabetes: Results from Multidisciplinary Stakeholder Co-creation Workshops.

Racial-ethnic inequity in type 1 diabetes technology use is well documented and contributes to disparities in glycemic and long-term outcomes. However, solutions to address technology inequity remain sparse and lack stakeholder input. We employed user-centered design principles to conduct workshop sessions with multidisciplinary panels of stakeholders, building off of our prior study highlighting patient-identified barriers and proposed solutions.

Identifying and Reducing Disparities in Young Adults With Diabetes.

This article outlines how social and health care determinants can affect young adults with diabetes. The authors provide a detailed description of each determinant's influence on diabetes self-management and offer solutions to help mitigate these harmful effects.
