| dc.description.abstract | An investigation on the “Nutritional status and school adjustment of juvenile diabetics” was undertaken in the year 2010-2011 to record the prevalence of juvenile diabetes in Hubli and Dharwad cities according to registry, to assess the nutritional status in terms of anthropometry and nutrient adequacy. School adjustment was assessed in terms of social, emotional, educational adjustment, by a scale developed by Sinha and Singh (1997), academic performance and participation in extracurricular activities was assessed by a structured questionnaire. Thirty juvenile diabetics aged below 18 years were selected randomly, equal number of age, gender and region matched subjects served as controls. The study revealed that there is an increasing incidence of type I diabetes in children, growth is retarded in diabetic children and belonged to underweight category (40%) due to lower adequacy of nutrients, imbalanced intake of nutrients and poor metabolic control. Poor metabolic control was evident in higher percentage of diabetics as evidenced by FBG (63.33%) and PPBG (76.66%). Life style changes such as insulin therapy, frequent visits to clinics, making suitable food choices, frequent missing of schools, make juvenile diabetic children different from the normal peer group and thus resulting in lower academic achievement and poor social, emotional and educational adjustment. Doctors, dieticians and parents have to play a significant role in tackling these problems. Hence, education regarding nutrition, coping skills, treatment adherence and control of disease, psychological interventions can be imparted to the children with diabetes and their parents so that they can lead a healthy and normal life as that of their peers. | en_US |
