Description
Diabetes rates are on the rise among U.S. children and adolescents, as the obesity epidemic continues among our youth. rehab providers can play crucial roles in the fight against diabetes’ negative effects on young people. This course presents current information about iabetes in children and youth. We review the impact of diabetes, examine the epidemiology of childhood obesity and diabetes, review complications and treatment guidelines, and discuss rehab approaches to intervention, focused on patient/family education, healthy eating, and exercise. We also present relevant current literature and discuss how that research may apply to our practices.
