Children and Teens with Diabetes |

Raising children is challenging under the best of circumstances. When a child has a chronic disease such as diabetes, the challenges become even greater. Fortunately today, advances in treatment and monitoring of blood glucose levels have made diabetes far less difficult to deal with than it used to be. Still, it is a serious condition with potentially critical complications and requires lifelong monitoring and treatment. |
On this site we offer information for parents and other caregivers as well as teachers, coaches, and others who will interact with children and teenagers who have diabetes. We cover these aspects:
- The child with diabetes - with emphasis on the importance of monitoring blood glucose levels regularly and establishing healthy eating and exercise habits in your child, and answers to your questions about school and family issues.
- Type 2 diabetes in children and teenagers - this is a recent phenomenon that is not yet fully understood.
- The teenager with diabetes - adolescence brings its own special challenges to any family, and diabetes adds another layer to these trying years.
