"L'Aide aux Jeunes diabétiques" (AJD) is an association which strives to help insulin-dependent patients assume responsibility for the management of their disease and lead normal lives. As in all chronic diseases, self-care concerning management is essential in diabetes mellitus and requires patient education which is an integral part of the therapeutic program. AJD organizes three types of interventions. 1) Stays in special summer camps provide children, teenagers and young adults with the opportunity for receiving education in a recreational setting conducive to acquisition of knowledge and behaviors required for the management of their disease. Each year, over 1,000 children stay in these camps. Furthermore, vacation camps provide physicians and nurses with unique opportunities for gaining proficiency in the monitoring and treatment of diabetes mellitus. 2) Continuing education through a news bulletin and information meetings improves compliance to treatment. 3) Social and scientific interventions directly involve AJD members and provide them with regular information. In conclusion, AJD plays a central role in the management of type I diabetes mellitus in France.
“青少年糖尿病援助协会”（AJD）是一个致力于帮助胰岛素依赖型患者承担起疾病管理责任并过上正常生活的协会。和所有慢性病一样，糖尿病的自我管理至关重要，这需要对患者进行教育，而这是治疗方案不可或缺的一部分。AJD组织了三种干预措施。1）参加特殊的夏令营能让儿童、青少年和年轻人有机会在有利于获取疾病管理所需知识和行为的娱乐环境中接受教育。每年有超过1000名儿童参加这些夏令营。此外，度假营为医生和护士提供了熟练监测和治疗糖尿病的独特机会。2）通过新闻简报和信息会议进行继续教育，可提高治疗依从性。3）社会和科学干预直接让AJD成员参与其中，并定期为他们提供信息。总之，AJD在法国I型糖尿病的管理中发挥着核心作用。
