Psychosocial aspects and perspectives of adult-onset type 1 diabetes: a systematic scoping review.

Research focusing on psychosocial aspects of the adult-onset population is scarce. Future research should involve participants across the adult life age span and from a wider geographical area. Socio-demographic information should be collected to explore different perspectives. Further exploration of suitable outcome measures considering adults' limited experience of living with the condition is needed. This would help to better understand how psychosocial aspects may affect management of T1D in everyday life and thus enable health care professionals to provide appropriate support to adults with new-onset T1D.
