Juvenile onset diabetes (JOD) is generally insulin-dependent from the time of diagnosis or soon afterwards. Advances in treatment strategies like ultra-long acting insulin have prolonged duration of action and serve to mimic the post absorptive release of insulin from the b cells of the pancreas. The goals of treating a child with DM are to achieve normal growth and development with prevention of acute and chronic complications of DM. The long term management requires a multidisciplinary team, the core of which includes physicians, nursing personnel, diabetes educators, dieticians, social workers and psychologists. This review aims to provide overview over the clinical characteristics and management of diabetes mellitus in children with focus on T1DM.
