at UCSF

• Differences between health care delivery in the peds and adult setting

Deterioration of glycemic control and other risk factors of the young adult

Poor control (SEARCH)• Only 32% of youth with T1DM age 13-18 meet ADA

HbA1c goal• Only 18% of youth over 19 meet ADA Hba1c goal

Loss to follow-up (increase morbidity/mortality)• BDA study showed that mortality among those with

T1D is 3X in men and 6X in women compared to peer group at ages 20-29 years old

• T1DM : ~ 10 % of adol with mc-alb

• T2DM : ~ 30% of adol with mc-alb

• Discussion: What might be putting these emerging adults at risk for severe hypo and DKA?
