One child in a thousand under the age of 15 years has clinical diabetes. Such children require insulin once or twice daily. Their diabetes is usually best controlled with a diet that provides adequate nutrition for growth and a carbohydrate allowance that balances the hypoglycaemic effect of their insulin. With good initial training in the care of their child, intelligence and emotional stability, families usually cope well with diabetes and allow him to lead a normal life during childhood.
15岁以下的儿童中，每千名中有一名患有临床糖尿病。这类儿童需要每天注射一到两次胰岛素。通常，他们的糖尿病通过一种能为生长提供足够营养的饮食以及能平衡胰岛素降血糖作用的碳水化合物摄入量来得到最佳控制。由于在孩子护理方面接受了良好的初始培训，加上智力和情绪稳定，家庭通常能很好地应对糖尿病，让孩子在童年时期过上正常生活。
