Increasing prevalence Type 1 diabetes in children: Fighting for a place under the sun This increase in incidence along with enhanced access to insulin and better survival rates will lead to a higher prevalence in the near future. No definite data available in India-lack of Diabetes registry. EDITORIAL-KM Prasanna Kumar, Kishwar Azad, Bedwora Zabeen,Sanjay Kalra-TheIndian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism-2012. 16, 7,1-3. Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is one of the most common pediatric endocrine illness. Of these, over half live in developing nations, with India being home to an estimated 97,700 children with T1DM. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2010;2:14.. J Indian Med Assoc 2008;106:708-11-Results from Karnataka Diabetes Registry 1995-2008 At Karnal, in Haryana, the prevalence of T1DM is 26.6/100,000 in urban and 4.27/100,000 in rural areas of the district, leading to an average prevalence of 10.20/100,000 population.

Incidence of Type 1 diabetes mellitus and associated complications among children and young adults: Management A statement of the American Diabetes Association Management of type 1 diabetes is best undertaken in the context of a multidisciplinary health team and requires continuing attention to many aspects, including insulin administration, blood glucose monitoring, meal planning, and screening for comorbidconditions and diabetes-related complications. Care of Children and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes Ideally, every child newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes should be evaluated by a diabetes team qualified to provide up to date pediatric-specific education and support.

Challenges optional management for a T2DM patient becomes essential in T1DM. Diagnosis- Rural vs Urban Health care delivery Physicians trained to manage T1DM- Infrastructure- Insulin- Monitoring- Admission-Complications- Ophtnalmologist- Education- Counseling- Psycho social support. Major challenges remain in the development of approaches to the prevention and management of type 1 diabetes and its complications. A T1DM child requires frequent monitoring for blood sugars and ketonuriaas well as for other complications. Emphasis on diet, calorie counting, regular physical activity, injection technique and sick day management is essential. The unique psychological needs and challenges of growing children need to be addressed. Diabetes education for T1DM Healthcare professionals Need for a structured diabetes education programme, for both patients and parents /health care providers, which focuses on T1DM management. IDEP-Indian diabetes educatorsprogramme-2010-2012. In association with Project HOPE & IDF. Trained-4000 diabetes educators,india-post graduate diploma in Diabetes education-6 months- Diabetes care professionals, including nurses, dieticians and doctors, may not possess the specific skills required to optimally manage T1DM. May not have the time or energy to put these skills into practice. Standard of Care for T1DM The psychological stigma ofdiabetes in children Minimal care- diagnosis- Insulin- syringe- consultation Standard care-average care, monitoring, screening for complications Comprehensive care-best care-scandinavian countries It affects mainly the patient and the family as a whole. Frequent hypoglycaemicattacks and diabetic keto-acidosis hamper the child s learning processes. Life-long administration of insulin, timely and restricted food habits and complications of diabetes impose great difficulty in living normal life for patient. Prasanna Kumar 6
Psycho-social aspects of diabetes in children Social problems Regular interaction between parents, nurses, doctors and the school authority must be assured for close monitoring. The child must be encouraged to participate in the school and family activities. Proper education of self-care must be given to the child so that the child can cope with his/her existing disease, maintain selfconfidence, ensure self-management and adapt with the life at large. Jobs for diabetics-not many are willing to recruit diabetics though equally qualified & competent. Should be considered handicapped. Marriage- Difficult to find a match-what to tell- Howand to wham?

Focused studies show that outcomes can be improved by better management, there is no evidence of this actually happening on a world wide basis. E Gale Newer treatment approaches have facilitated improved outcomes in terms of both glycaemic control and reduced risks for development of complications. Major challenges remain in the development of approaches to the prevention and management of type 1 diabetes and its complications. Prasanna Kumar 7
Diabetes in children-registry To evaluate population differences in risk of disease, it is essential to develop a case registry. For example, in diabetes research, all new cases (incident) of IDDM are registered during a specified time period in a defined geographic area. DIAMOND project- SUMMARY Thank you for attention Wide disparities in socioeconomic levels, educational background, and the availability of diabetes care pose major hurdles in the management of this disease in India. Parents and family tend to view T1DM as a stigma. we need to take the lead to ensure comprehensive clinical and psychological care for all children with T1DM by PPP. NO CHILD SHOULD DIE OF DIABETES Thank You!! 38 Prasanna Kumar 8
