Abstract
The purposes of this research are to 1) discover perceptions children/adolescents with diabetes have about their lives/illness and 2) develop appropriate interventions based on these perceptions. A number of youth diagnosed with type 1 diabetes face difficult challenges concerning their care and causing great stress on their family. Asking youth about their perceptions of living with type 1 diabetes can be useful in developing interventions that are exactly what the youth need/desire as they cope with their chronic illness. Hopefully, adjustment to the illness will be smoother and the family unit helped as the needed interventions are provided.
