Diabetes is one of the commonest long-term diseases to affect man; approximately 2 per cent of the population is affected and this figure is rising. This paper describes a project involving the production of a teaching package for insulin-dependent diabetic children. The package took the form of an illustrated booklet and its success was evaluated at a diabetic clinic in a Glasgow hospital. As a result of this evaluation it was concluded that the package was a useful means of teaching diabetic children.
