TABLE OF CONTENTS
1	Children With Diabetes: Birth To Adolescence Alison B. Evert RD, CDE, Stephanie H. Gerken, MS, RD, CDE Children with diabetes face multiple challenges every day associated with food, blood-glucose monitoring, physical activity, and insulin administration or oral medication, all while meeting the needs of just being a “kid.” New insulin therapies and technology offer more freedom for children with diabetes, but these innovations require a team effort by all who are involved with the care: parents, teachers and health professionals.
6	A Mother’s Viewpoint: What Health-Care Provide Need to Know About Type 1 Diabetes Pamela Charney, PhD, RD, CNSD Pre-professional education in health-care typically provides the student with only a brief experience in any practice area.
