20241 citationOpen accessUniversity of the Witwatersrand

Abstract

Compared to T2D, family members of T1D experience a greater impact on their QoL, particularly those caring for children and adolescents. These findings have clinical and resource implications, indicating a need to assess this impact as a part of routine diabetes care to support impacted family members. The FROM-16 could assess this impact in routine practice and further facilitate referral of family members to appropriate support services.
