Abstract
Engagement of young adults with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in a virtual Young Adult Diabetes Clinic as a component of transition from pediatric to adult diabetes care. Young adults with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) face unique challenges as they transition from the pediatric to the adult setting. The Young Adult Diabetes Clinic (YADC) is a multidisciplinary clinic that combines the resources of endocrinology, diabetes education, and behavioral health to address these challenges. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, a need arose for a new virtual setting for the YADC clinic. We sought to understand how this virtual setting could impact engagement as compared with the in-person model with the YADC.
