Care and Management of the Child with Diabetes

Christine Kaiser

Javier E. Aisenberg

The management and care of the child with diabetes is ever changing and increasingly complex. The past 20 years have seen a burst in technologic advances, diabetes research, and new information to facilitate optimal diabetes control. Application of those advances is necessary for home health care professionals involved in the care of children with diabetes and their families. Common issues of management for the child with diabetes need to be addressed, and practical information for home health care interventions needs to be developed for those who assist children with diabetes and their families. In light of managed care programs and limited hospital stays, home health care offers an opportunity to ensure appropriate and adequate diabetes education to care for the child with diabetes at home safely and effectively. Home health care professionals ideally should be a part of the diabetes management team but can also act as a bridge between the inpatient and outpatient settings.
