Diabetes UK are calling for all children and young people with diabetes to get the care and support they need to manage their diabetes

This seems obvious, but currently only 6% of children and young people with diabetes whose checks are being recorded are getting all the recommended care to which they are entitled. This needs to change.

Diabetes UK have outlined the 10 essential checks, care and services all children with Type 1 diabetes should receive in a new guide called the ?Type 1essentials for children and young people. You can order your copy from the Diabetes UK online shop: www.diabetes.org.uk
