Transitions in care for those living with diabetes are high-risk events. For emerging adults, the transition to adult diabetes care systems makes them vulnerable to gaps in medical care during an already challenging stage of life. In the aging adult population living with diabetes, an increased burden of comorbidities, multiple healthcare providers and polypharmacy are common. Poorly executed transitions to new care settings can result in hospitalization or serious complications. A team-based, individualized approach to care transitions can reduce the risks and improve outcomes. This session presents case studies and provides practical applications for transitions in these populations.
