Summary

The management of diabetes in adolescence presents significant difficulties due to psychological and physiological factors. Blood glucose control deteriorates in this age group and poor management threatens long-term health. Motivational Interviewing, a psychological intervention designed to facilitate behaviour change, has recently been used with a small group of teenagers, producing improved blood glucose control. To establish the impact of this intervention and its key components, we plan to compare the outcome in several clinics over a longer period of time in a larger number of adolescents selected at random to undergo motivational interviewing or to act as a control group. If successful this approach has potential to be incorporated into the routine clinical care of adolescents with diabetes.
