Diabetes in children and adolescents presents unique challenges that require specialized approaches for diagnosis, treatment, and long-term care. Type 1 diabetes is the most common form in this age group, while Type 2 diabetes is increasingly observed due to rising obesity rates. Management strategies include individualized insulin therapy, glucose monitoring, and structured nutrition and physical activity programs tailored to growth and developmental needs. Education for children, families, and caregivers is essential to support self-management, adherence, and early recognition of complications. Psychological support, school-based interventions, and digital health tools further enhance care. By adopting pediatric-specific strategies, healthcare providers can optimize glycemic control, promote healthy development, and improve quality of life for children and adolescents living with diabetes.
