chapter

Transitions are an important part of life from infancy to older age.

Not all transitions are negative, they can represent an opportunity to enhance the person’s quality of life.

Salutogenesis stresses the importance of starting by considering how health is created and maintained rather than focusing on the negative aspects of illness and disorder.

Social and psychological support are vital to encourage older people to manage diabetes and it is meaningful to them.
