The parents of a child with new onset type 1 diabetes must master essential "survival skills" to return home safely with their child. It is the healthcare provider's responsibility to assure that the family has been taught necessary information to succeed at home and provide the family with access to nurses and physicians for insulin adjustment and emergencies upon discharge.
