title: Nutrition issues for youth with diabetes.
abstract: For both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, eating healthy is key to blood glucose management. To that end, the school nurse must have a basic understanding of nutrition recommendations for children with diabetes. This article describes basic nutrition guidelines as well as action steps for school nurses to assist children in following their meal plan at school and to support children when diabetes-related emergencies arise.
