Diabetes Type 1 Support Group
Childhood","Childhood diabetes is when the pancreas in a child does not produce enough insulin on its own. In order to survive, insulin injections need to be incorporated as well as diet regulation. If your child is diagnosed with diabetes, find support and share your experiences here. Caring for a child with diabetes is challenging. We're here for you."
As some of the members may already be aware, a recent study (Diabetes Care 2006;2:2452-6) produced data supporting recommendations of regular screening for celiac disease in children with type 1 diabetes. Some of the benefits of early diagnosis and treatment are improvement in growth parameters and symptom relief.
