How to take care of a child with diabetes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Endocrinologist: It is a very complex question. A child with diabetes should ideally be under the care of an endocrinologist. Dietary management, exercise and close monitoring of blood sugars and ketones are critical to help with medication management.
