Abstract
When a child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, parents encounter a steep learning curve that includes needing to understand diabetes and its management, and mastering the skills of insulin administration and blood glucose monitoring. Whether in hospital or in the child’s home, education and support at diagnosis, and on-going care over the years until the child transfers to the adult service, is predominantly provided by a paediatric diabetes specialist nurse (PDSN).
