Ji Young Kim

Abstract

Over the last few years, the incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in childhood and adolescent has increased rapidly in Korea. The goals of nutritional management for children and adolescents with T1DM are to keep blood gluose levels near normal, to avoid both acute and long term diabetes-related complications and to support normal growth and development. The meal plan should be based on the pediatric nutritional needs, the patient`s usual intake pattern and insulin regimen. This article will concentrate on specific pediatric T1DM, including insulin regimen-related dietary management and the nutritional needs for supporting normal growth and development.
