However, the Best Practice Tariff, which calls for all children and young people with diabetes to receive ongoing, age-appropriate structured education, means that more frequent, individualised education, over and above that provided in routine care, is required. Appointment of a dedicated diabetes educator, who is responsible for and has the capacity to develop a number of age- and maturity-appropriate programmes that can be delivered by all members of the multidisciplinary team, may be of help here. This article describes the role of diabetes educators and presents two examples of services that have appointed them.

The TEENs study was an international, cross-sectional study of youth, 8-25 years of age, with T1D. Participants (N = 5,887) were seen in clinical sites in 20 countries across 5 continents enrolled for 3 predetermined age groups: 8-12, 13-18, and 19-25 years of age. To assess D-HRQOL, participants completed the PedsQL Diabetes module 3.0 and were interviewed about family-related factors. Specifics about treatment regimen and self-management behaviors were collected from medical records. Across all age groups, females reported significantly lower D-HRQOL than did males. The 19-25-year age group reported the lowest D-HRQOL. Multivariate linear regression analyses revealed that D-HRQOL was significantly related to HbA1c; the lower the HbA1c, the better the D-H...

Secondary analysis of data on 5689 children and young adults aged 2-20 years from the 1999 Health Survey for England. Twenty three per cent of children (n = 1311) were overweight, of whom 6% (n = 358) were obese. More girls than boys were overweight (24% v 22%). Afro-Caribbean girls were more likely to be overweight (odds ratio 1.73, 95% CI 1.29 to 2.33), and Afro-Caribbean and Pakistani girls were more likely to be obese than girls in the general population (odds ratios 2.74 (95% CI 1.74 to 4.31) and 1.71 (95% CI 1.06 to 2.76), respectively). Indian and Pakistani boys were more likely to be overweight (odds ratios 1.55 (95% CI 1.12 to 2.17) and 1.36 (95% CI 1.01 to 1.83), respectively). There were no significant differences in the prevalence of obese and overweight children from different social classes. The percentage of children and young adults w...
