Abstract
Adolescents with Type I Diabetes experience unique family dynamics while balancing their desire for independence with self-care needs. This has ramifications for their glucose regulation (HbA1c). In this study, parent perception of family conflict combined with parent perception of adolescent self-care significantly predicted HbA1c levels, with implications for future interventions.
