| Summary: | The rise of chronic illnesses and the evolution of treatments modify the configuring of care relationships while patients are required to become autonomous and to rely on medical devices which are increasingly efficient. The treatment of Type 1 Diabetes involves a multiplicity of these technical and technological devices. From research conducted with children living with Type 1 Diabetes, the article underlines the relational issues involved in the illness management and in the negotiations concerning the ‘right’ equipment. It proposes to study medical prescriptions as prescriptions of an autonomy that evolves over the course of children’s trajectories and as they grow up and to give an account of the ways in which children develop strategies of reappropriation of their own bodies and construct themselves by evading or diverting the scripts contained in these objects. |
