Aim  We hypothesized that participant well‐being and satisfaction with services would be positively associated with a satisfactory clinical course during transition from child to adult health care.    Methods  Some 150 young people with Type 1 diabetes mellitus from five diabetes units in England were recruited to a longitudinal study of transition. Each young person was visited at home four times by a research assistant; each visit was 1 year apart. Satisfaction with services (Mind the Gap;  MTG ) and mental well‐being (Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well‐being Scale;  WEMWBS ) were captured. Change in HbA 1c , episodes of ketoacidosis, clinic and retinal screening attendance were used to assess clinical course. In total, 108 of 150 (72%) young people had sufficient data for analysis at visit 4.    Results  Mean age at entry was 16 years. By visit 4, 81.5% had left paediatric healthcare services. Median HbA 1c  increased significantly ( P  = 0.01) from 69 mmol/mol (8.5%) at baseline to 75 mmol/mol (9.0%) at visit 4.  WEMWBS  scores were comparable with those in the general population at baseline and were stable over the study period.  MTG  scores were also stable. By visit 4, some 32 individuals had a ‘satisfactory’ and 76 a ‘suboptimal’ clinical course. There were no significant differences in average  WEMWBS  and  MTG  scores between the clinical course groups ( P  = 0.96, 0.52 respectively); nor was there a significant difference in transfer status between the clinical course groups.    Conclusions  The well‐being of young people with diabetes and their satisfaction with transition services are not closely related to their clinical course. Investigating whether innovative psycho‐educational interventions can improve the clinical course is a research priority.
