A court has heard two parents who admitted causing their daughter's death by criminal neglect failed to appreciate how urgently she needed medical attention.

The South Australian Supreme Court heard teenager Dawn Edward had type-1 diabetes which required constant management.

The girl, 14, died in August 2009 at the family's Adelaide home, her weight having fallen to 28 kilograms.
