Conclusions
Insulin Love and Care
Despite enhanced material support, a
subset of poverty associated type 1
diabetes children, do not demonstrate
improved glycemic control and overall
health.
Varying combination of detrimental
psychological, social and economic
factors probably contribute to this poorresponse.

Conclusions
Insulin Love and Care
Identification of these negative therapeutic
factors and other coexisting life
challenges, and efforts to mitigate the
same [ie., molecular sociology ;
psychosocial therapy; High risk type 1
diabetes clinics], are crucial to health and
survival of these children.
The long term sustenance of such
programs, and support to newly arriving
children remains a big challenge.

Insulin, love and Care
Prof Johnny Ludviggson 1989
Beside physiological substitution of
insulin, psychosocial care is probably
the most important part of the
management of diabetes in children and
adolescents.
