Abstract :
This work focuses on diabetes mellitus in childhood because it is one of the most widespread chronic diseases among children around the world. Child diabetes is not only a problem for young patients but for their parents and relatives too. Diabetic children have to follow special rules, such as measuring blood sugar, taking insulin injections or following a special diet. Young diabetes patients are often unaware of the specific details of rules that need to be followed in order to allow them to live a normal life. Generally, the underlying problem is getting these children interested in learning about this topic.
