This study investigated diabetes management processes among young adults with type 1 diabetes applying the grounded theory method. A total of 15 young adults, with an average age of 29 years, with type 1 diabetes were selected through theoretical sampling between November 2016 and October 2018. Data collected through in-depth interviews were analyzed using the constant comparative method. The core category of this study was defined as “living in a standardized frame.” Participants managed diabetes through the trial-and-error process in addition to selective restriction or selective minimization. They restricted their diet, physical activity, social interactions, and range of thoughts, often following passive and avoidant strategies. Consequently, nurses are in a critical position to assist diabetic individuals via support programs and take the lead in mitigating social prejudice.

Abstract Background - Strict isolation measures and interrupted healthcare services during the COVID 19 pandemic are contemplated to instigate stress universally, particularly in those with chronic illnesses such as Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).Objective- To evaluate perceived stress towards COVID-19 among T1D individuals.Study Design - A cross-sectional, observational study. Participants - Adolescents and young adults (aged 10 - 25), living with T1D; and age, gender matched controls.Interventions - An online, semi-structured survey including Perceived Stress Scale. Outcomes - Determinants of stress and its impact on glycemic control.Results - A total of 97 cases (49 males; mean age 18.8 ± 4.5 years), diagnosed with T1D (mean diabetes duration 8.0 ± 5.0 years; mean HBA1C 8.1 ± 1.5%) completed the survey. Among cases, 53.6% reported moderate stress; 41.2% low stress and 5.2% severe stress. No significant difference was observed in the mean PSS score between the cases and controls. Cases with higher PSS scores tracked pandemic-related updates with significantly lesser frequency than those with lower scores (mean rank 78.75; p = 0.01). High PSS score was significantly associated with HbA1C over last 6 months (r 0.276; p = 0.015) and worsened glycemic control (mean rank 63.97 p = 0.012). Conclusion- An increased apprehension was seen regarding the acquisition of optimal diabetes management and care during the current infectious outbreak. Tele-medicine could emerge as an effective tool and a promising initiative to manage T1D patients during the pandemic.
