[Insulin therapy in infantile diabetes (author's transl)].
The central point of the treatment of diabetic children is insulin substitution. The parents must be so widely informed that they can carry out these measures on their own responsibility under the guidance of the doctor. The parents need suitable equipment for insulin substitution. They must know the injection sites, the local side effects and the metabolic effects of the different insulin preparations. They must be able to diagnose the two most important complications--diabetic ketoacidosis and the hypoglycemic attack--and take appropriate therapeutic measures.
