Management is provided by
competent and bonded volunteers, certified
diabetes educators, physicians, nurses, and
parents of children with diabetes. These
volunteers strive to make the
“home away from home”
experience one that teaches new techniques
for good diabetes control through diet,
exercise, insulin and blood sugar
monitoring. The skills learned may lead to
better control when the child returns home.
