title: Growth and maturation of children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
abstract: By plotting and evaluating height and weight measurements of children with diabetes on the Iowa Growth Chart, the authors have found that children with diabetes under their care who maintained relatively high degrees of metabolic control had normal growth patterns and that only children in lower degrees of control failed to grow at normal rate and had delayed maturation.
