This study offers evidence that increased paternal support is related to better maternal and child adjustment outcomes, but findings suggest that fathers may only become involved in response to poor glycemic control.

This study provides longitudinal evidence that different aspects of paternal involvement can predict youths’ diabetes self-management and extends previous findings that fathers may become more involved as need arises.

This study offers evidence indicating that both monitoring and a high quality parent-child relationship are important in promoting adherence and glycemic control in adolescents through better self-efficacy for diabetes management.

J Adolesc Health. 2012;50(5):491–6. This study provides longitudinal evidence demonstrating that adolescents with rapidly deteriorating glycemic control reported lower parental monitoring and frequency of help with diabetes care, lower levels of autonomy and greater number of hospitalizations.

This study offers evidence that the risk of poorer glycemic control associated with decreasing parental monitoring is greater than that of elevated family conflict, supporting the importance of maintaining sufficient levels of monitoring, even with the possibility of increased conflict.
