Children can develop diabetes at a very young age, requiring them to deal with the daily complexities of this disease. The children who do best are those who handle most of the responsibilities of disease management themselves. This program from The Doctor Is In looks at how they learn to analyze their blood sugar levels and manage their care. Viewers meet several children ages 9 to 15 who have diabetes. They and their parents show how they handle daily injections of insulin, numerous blood checks every day, and a complex balancing of food and exercise. A Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Production. (28 minutes)
