There’s under diagnosis of T1DM among children and adolescents because it’s presentation mimics other conditions.
Most children are diagnosed when in DKA
When managing DKA Rehydration is first priority over insulin therapy.
Its important to observe right carbohydrate calories so that normal glycemic levels throughout the day.
Exercise are not recommended when the sugars are above 14mmols
4 types of insulin:Rapid acting, regular, intermediate and long acting.

Insightful 2 days of T1DM management. Take home for the two days.
1. Insulin intensification
2. Children require insulin, nutrition and exercise for optimal growth
3. Diabetes management in toddlers and adolescent requires multi-facet approach.
4. TIDM patient require growth monitoring (this has been overlooked for a while)
5. T1DM patient we look at and think they have cushing syndrome……we need to think again…and intensify therapy and nutrition is the key.
My love for care for T1DM patient has been ignited even more.
Thank you facilitators.
Looking forward for a more insightful day tomorrow
