Setting the stage for future research on Type 1 Diabetes and Aging

UCSD Design Lab - Diabetes Design Initiative (DDI)

Exploring the needs of people aging with diabetes and value of a redesigned diabetes care directive

                         

Using our prior spring and fall 2021 research with the Type 1 Diabetes aging community, our team continued with the goal of exploring the needs of people aging with type 1 diabetes, particularly within the healthcare setting. Through human-centered design methods and the biopsychosocial model, we explore opportunity areas, such as the potential of a care directive tool among others, that may serve as solutions to the varying needs of people aging with type 1 diabetes.
