How to bring diabetes education to schools
Children and adolescents have relatives (including their parents and extended family) who are responsible for their care. Besides, they spend many hours of their lives in different settings such as schools or community spaces. All these settings are influenced by cultural aspects, education levels, family resources and means. There is no doubt that inequity and social inequality have an impact on them. For this reason, pediatric care teams must consider all these aspects when following-up diabetic children and adolescents, contributing to the well-being of all these environments.
School constitutes one of these settings —maybe the most important one—. Hence, we believe it is fundamental that there exists a nexus between the schools attended by diabetic children and adolescents, and the health system, responsible for their integral follow-up. Juvenile diabetes coexists in both the educational and healthcare systems and, as it is a chronic condition, children who suffer from it may have to deal with it at some point during their time at school. Nowadays, there is evidence on the impact that diabetes and the implications of metabolic control can have on children's neurocognitive development and learning. |
