Family Ties Help Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes FlourishWEDNESDAY, April 8, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Type 1 diabetes is a challenging, time-intensive disease that often strikes children, and new research suggests that strong family support helps improve the well-being of young adults with the condition. The study found that young adults (under 30) with type 1 diabetes were more likely to be "flourishing" if they had good family connections.

The treatment -- called androgen suppression therapy or androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) -- uses drugs or surgery to reduce the level of androgen hormones, which prostate cancer cells typically require to multiply. "The problem is ADT has several side effects, including increased body fat, decreased cardiopulmonary fitness and increased fatigue. These can increase the risk of a cardiovascular event and reduce health-related quality of life," said study leader Anthony Leicht, an associate professor of health care sciences at James Cook University in Australia. The international study assessed whether a supervised exercise program could...
