Abstract

A growing body of literature finds persistent problems in the provision of recommended health care transition services, as well as adverse outcomes associated with the lack of these services in emerging adults with type 1 diabetes. The Six Core Elements of Health Care Transition offers a structured approach to the phases of health care transition support for both pediatric and adult diabetes practices. This article reviews strategies to incorporate the Six Core Elements into ambulatory diabetes care to support successful health care transition for emerging adults with type 1 diabetes.
