Sexual knowledge and contraceptive use in adolescents with type 1 diabetes in comparison with their healthy peers
Among the study population, the condom was the commonest contraceptive method for both groups, while 23.5% of patients and 10.2% controls used no protection. The degree of contraception use among patients was associated with patients' age and parental age and with the family structure in controls. The above underline the necessity for health care professionals to provide sexual education and contraception counseling to young adolescents with T1D and their healthy peers.
