Children with diabetes are being given support by a specialist team at the Royal United Hospital.
A new paediatric diabetes team has been put together to help youngsters not only in hospital but at school and home as well.
As well as more nurses, dietitians and a psychologist have also been taken on to serve the 200-plus children with diabetes in Bath and north east Somerset.
Lead paediatrician Dr Amanda Billson said: "The new team will be better placed to provide the education and psychological support that these children, their parents and other carers need, in order to manage their diabetes on a day-to-day basis.
"Diabetes is not an illness, but is a condition that these children and their families have to learn to live with.
