Abstract

Pediatric diabetes is on the rise in the United States. According to the National Diabetes Statistics Report, the estimated number of new cases of diabetes annually was 17,900 for Type 1 diabetes (children and adolescents under 20 years of age) and 5,300 for Type 2 diabetes (children and adolescents between 10 and 19 years of age) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 2017. National Diabetes Statistics Report. Atlanta, GA: U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services). The focus of this chapter is to provide an overview of pediatric diabetes including background information, prevalence, psychosocial concomitants and consequences, prevention and intervention strategies, and implications for interprofessional care. This chapter will conclude with a case study to illustrate the practical application of the information presented.
