Ideally, the care of a child or adolescent with type 1 diabetes should be provided by a multidisciplinary team of specialists trained in the care of children with pediatric diabetes. At the very least, education of the child and family should be provided by health care providers trained and experienced in childhood diabetes and sensitive to the challenges posed by diabetes in this age-group. It is essential that DSME, MNT, and psychosocial support be provided at the time of diagnosis and regularly thereafter by individuals experienced with the educational, nutritional, behavioral, and emotional needs of the growing child and family. It is expected that the balance between adult supervision and self-care should be defined and that it will evolve with physical, psychological, and emotional maturity.
