These individuals will confront their incurable condition throughout their lives, becoming experts on their own disease. However, today it is the duty of adults\: parents, caregivers and teachers, to ensure that, despite the illness, these children can lead normal lives and experience a typical, happy childhood. In kindergarten and school, they require the support of trained and committed teachers who can assist them in managing their diabetes\: measuring blood glucose, administering insulin, handling situations of hypo\- and hyperglycemia, and dealing with a chronic disease.
