A healthy child starts to urinate more often, seem perpetually thirsty and begins to lose weight. Suddenly, a family faces the lifelong challenge of managing Type 1 diabetes. The treatment involves carefully balancing food intake and activities with injections of insulin, along with daily blood sugar monitoring and record keeping. How do you impose this regimen on a carefree, rambunctious child or an adolescent seeking independence?
