Improving school teachers' knowledge of diabetes.
The incidence of diabetes among school children is increasing. Apart from parents, school teachers are the main carers of school-aged children. Teachers generally have a poor level of knowledge about diabetes and its management. Better communication and dissemination of information between the specialist health visitors, school nurses and teachers is required.
