Children can develop diabetes at a very young age, requiring them to deal with the daily complexities of this disease. The children who do best are those who handle many of the responsibilities of disease management themselves. This program looks at how they learn to analyze their blood sugar levels and manage their care. Viewers meet several children aged 9-15 who have diabetes. They and their parents show how they handle daily injections of insulin, numerous blood checks every day, and a complex balancing of food and exercise. A special summer camp for children with diabetes is also profiled.
