- To develop and test a mobile application that supports the disease self-management of adolescents with type 1 diabetes during their transition to early adulthood.A sequential mixed-methods design was employed.The application content was designed according to previously identified care needs and expectations, followed by application development on the Android operating system. From the outpatient clinic of the Department of Paediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism at a medical centre in northern Taiwan, 35 individuals aged between 16-25years participated in application testing.The overall median score of the QUIS was 4-5, most of the 25% quartile was 4-5, and all of the 75% quartile was 5, indicating adequate user interaction satisfaction.

- Purpose: To explore the life experiences of patients with type 1 diabetes transition from adolescence into adulthood in Taiwan.Methods: Descriptive phenomenological design was used. Fourteen participants were individually interviewed using a semi-structured interview.Results: The life experiences of patients with type 1 diabetes transition from adolescence into adulthood experience a metamorphosis from awareness of responsibility to figuring out a way to care for themselves. Six themes emerged: (1) hibernation: awareness of responsibility; (2) emergence: attempts to take responsibility; (3) perseverance: encountering difficulties; (4)anxiety: multiple worries; (5) hesitation: back-and-forth," and (6) exit: finding a way out."Conclusions: During the transition phase, the participants experienced the trials of various situations. Regardless of whether they are able to independently bear the responsibilities of self-management, they all hope to turn around the challenges of disease control and take ownership of their disease. Like a butterfly that emerges from a cocoon, they hoped to overcome the dangers of taking flight through trial and error and navigating the world. The results of this study can serve as a reference for clinical care and developing localized intervention strategies targeted to the transition period between adolescence and young adulthood.
