Lifestyle Considerations course
This session aims to outline how type 1 diabetes impacts on the lives of children and young people and their associated lifestyle considerations.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Explain the impact of diabetes on families
- List the issues surrounding diabetes management at school
- Explain the impact of exercise on blood sugar levels
- Outline the advice that needs to be given to the child, family and other healthcare professionals on blood glucose management during exercise
- Describe the impact of diabetes on other aspects of a young person's life such as driving, work, etc
This session outlines how type 1 diabetes impacts on the lives of children and young people (CYP) and their associated lifestyle considerations.
