Pesquisa descritiva-exploratória com nove adolescentes com diabetes tipo 1, através de entrevistas semiestruturadas e dados interpretados pela análise temática indutiva.
The process of developing autonomy in adolescents with diabetes begins with an interest in seeking knowledge about the disease and treatment, with the support of the social network, to gain the confidence in themselves to perform self-care. Obstacles to this process include difficulties in controlling diet, poor access to insulintherapy materials, and lack of safety in handling them.
