Review of the literature about T1-Diabetes and High Mountains
In 2018 the Italian Society of Diabetology (SID) asked AM for a review about Type-1 Diabetes and High Mountains (with the possibility to include our experience) to be published on the online journal "Il Diabete", only available to SID members.
This is the paper: A. Maldonato: In alta quota con il diabete tipo-1. Il Diabete online, Vol. 30, N. 4, 2018, p 257-269. http://www.ildiabeteonline.it/

Narrative Medicine for Teenagers with Diabetes
In 2004, thanks to the contribution of Natalia Piana, we introduced the narrative-autobiographical approach in the care of teenagers at the school-camp, and since then we have regularly continued to adopt self-narration and autobiography, both in the care of patients , and in the training of health professionals.
After three years we have been able to observe the benefits obtained by teenagers with a qualitative research published in the prestigious journal Patient Education and Counseling.
