The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe the perceptions of how the transition from living at home to independent living for first year college students affected managing their type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) with pump therapy or with multiple injections. The effects of transition on T1DM self-management were generally defined as the ability of participants to maintain healthy glycemic control and insulin dosing, pump therapy or multiple injections, and establish psychosocial identity, the personal identity one obtains through social activities and interactions with peers. The goal of this research was to make recommendations that will support students with T1DM to maintain health and psychosocial identity while attending college. One-on-one interviews were completed with each of the participants. The interviews were analyzed using a three step coding process to determine themes between participants' answers. The results revealed some of the major barriers for college students with diabetes transitioning from living at home to living in a residence hall. The barriers included increased stress and feelings of burden on peers, increased pressure from friends and peers to consume alcohol, decreased emotional support, and decreased availability for supplies. Participants who reported having a support team or friends at school with diabetes also reported a more successful transition period from living at home to living in a residence hall with their diabetes management and developing their psychosocial identity. Some form of support system on campus for students with diabetes may increase the level of success for this student population. Similar research on a broader scale should be completed to allow for generalizations to be made about the effects transition from home life to college life has on college students with diabetes.

While it is often stated that college is a particularly difficult time for diabetes self-management, only a few studies have examined the specifics of living with diabetes during this time. The challenges to managing diabetes in college that have been suggested by prior studies include stress around developing independence and dealing with peer pressure with respect to eating, body weight, exercise, lack of daily routine and routine sleep, and experimentation with alcohol. The goals of this study were to find more about this population through an online survey. A survey was developed consisting of 60 primary and 14 supplementary questions. Participants were recruited from various networking sites such as Facebook. The questions focused on various hypotheses, which examined the impact on living well with diabetes, of the transition from parental authority to autonomy, of the various disruptive conditions mentioned above, of risk taking behaviors, and of interactions with health care professionals. Statistical analysis methods included Cronbach's Alpha testing, paired t-tests and Spearman's correlations. Managing diabetes in college was perceived to be more difficult than in high school, and quality of life was impeded by diabetes. Several of the factors suggested in previous research were also found to be correlated to perceived difficulty, quality of life, or last HbA1c. No significant correlation was found between these markers of diabetes management and transition to autonomy, risk taking, or prior or current medical team interactions. These data add to our understanding of the challenges of living with diabetes as a college student. A strength of this survey was a large (n=145) response rate, however, this self-selection process resulted in a group of participants who were doing relatively well with their diabetes. Future studies should focus on diabetic college students who have the most difficulty managing their diabetes.

Using a feminist political economy approach, contributors document the impact of current socio-economic policies on states, markets, households, and communities. Relying on impressive empirical research, they argue that women bear the costs of and responsibility for care-giving and show that the theoretical framework provided by feminist analyses of social reproduction not only corrects the gender-blindness of most economic theories but suggests an alternative that places care-giving at its centre. In this illuminating study, they challenge feminist scholars to re-engage with materialism and political economy to engage with feminism.

"The relationship among psychosocial stress, coping and metabolic control has a key effect on diabetes clinical outcomes and mental health. Life transitions are peak times of major change within personal and social contexts, which add stress affecting on peoples? problem solving. The thesis describes young women with Type 1 diabetes? perspectives of the problems encountered and how they managed them when they faced turning points and made life transitions. The study identified the women?s health concerns and factors that enhanced or hindered their ability to manage turning points and transitions. A substantive theory that comprised a problem of ?being in the grip of blood glucose levels? (BGLs) and a process termed ?creating stability? to manage life transitions was developed. The state of being in the grip of BGLs was associated with the impact of fluctuating BGLs; responses of other people to the womens? diabetes and the impact of diabetes on other people?s lives. The women managed these problems by engaging in social and psychological strategies helping them to stabilised their lives and feel more in control during life transitions." -- back cover.

The field of personal life is a relatively new area of sociological study that seeks to understand the complexities of contemporary personal and social relationships. This includes exploration of the impact of social, economic, legal, and political change on personal experiences, opportunities, and life-styles. This ground breaking edited collection presents research on personal and public lives in a period of rapid social and political change. Relatively little is known about how personal and public aspects of life inter-relate and even less about how the outcomes of this relationship shape different areas of life. This book aims to capture and understand the effects of these overlapping spheres on the everyday lives of people in different geographical, cultural, and spatial settings. It brings together research in four key areas; migration and displacement, gender, sexuality, and health, with two main overarching themes. The first theme is how individuals cope with social, political, geographical, and cultural change in these diverse settings. The second relates to how these changes produce diverse inequalities that impact on relationships, roles, and responsibilities. The book thus seeks to increase the visibility of particular aspects of life that have often been neglected in social science research and subsequently open them up to further research and debate.

The purpose of this research project was to discover the perceptions adolescents/emerging adults with type 1 diabetes have about their lives and illness, and then examine whether these perceptions vary according to their level of metabolic control so more appropriate interventions can be provided. Fifteen adolescents were identified as having type 1 diabetes and were individually interviewed and then placed into one of two categories. Eight adolescents were identified as having high hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, defined as being above the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommended level for adolescents of 7.5%, and seven adolescents were identified as low HbA1c levels, defined as at or below 7.5%. Findings indicated the adolescents were more similar than different in their perceptions. Themes of similarity between the two groups related to reactions of family; people outside of the family including peers, adults and teachers; healthcare professionals; and themselves. Themes related to differences included perceptual differences related to the news of their illness, situational/supportive differences related to their parents, and coping differences related to their self care attitudes and activities. Implications include suggestions that the healthcare team should provide consistent education that extends beyond the initial period of diagnosis in the non- authoritarian manner. Educating parents, especially mothers, on the imporance of their role in supporting the adolescent including encouragement of monitoring blood glucose levels and considering carbohydrates when preparing food is essential. Helping the adolescent learn appropriate ways to manage diabetes, develop positive relationships with healthcare professionals and participate in interactions with other young people successfully managing their diabetes could also be useful.
