- Abstract
Objective: to unveil the feelings and the meaning of being an adolescent with diabetes mellitus type 1. Method: qualitative study with phenomenological approach carried out through open interviews with seven adolescents diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type 1. Data were analyzed following the steps: full transcript of testimonies, successive readings, extraction of units of meaning and finally, categorization. Results: four categories and two sub-categories emerged after analysis: Category 1. Experiencing the impact of diagnosis; Category 2. Being an adolescent with DM; Category 3. The daily routine of being an adolescent with DM; and Category 4. Being an adolescent with DM: impasse between maternal control and loss of autonomy. Conclusion: it was evident that teenagers adapt well to the chronic condition, but they have difficulties in coping with the implications of the disease even with the passing of time.
