This study examined rates of teacher victimization and relationships between teacher victimization, adherence and metabolic control in 167 young people with type-1 diabetes. Questions that assessed diabetes-related victimization from teachers were administered to young people with type-1 diabetes. Metabolic control was measured with HbA1c values and diabetes self-management was assessed using the parent version of the Diabetes Self-Management Profile (DSMP). The results indicated that teacher victimization was associated significantly and negatively with the DSMP Diet Subscale (p = .03), DSMP Insulin Adherence Subscale (p = .00) and overall adherence (p = .01) for younger children (aged 8—11 years), but not for older youth (12—17 years). The implications and recommendations for practitioners are discussed.

Key Words: adherence • diabetes • peer victimization • teacher • youth
