Diabetic children spend up to an hour a day managing their condition, adversely affecting their attitudes towards treatment, new Australian research shows.
A study by University of Adelaide researchers tracked 160 children with chronic illnesses over two years to find out how much time it takes to do their daily treatment tasks.
The results, published in the latest Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, show children with cystic fibrosis, an incurable genetic disease, spend 57-74 minutes a day on treatments like physiotherapy.
Therapies for type one diabetes - including daily glucose testing, insulin injections and dietary changes - took 28-58 minutes out of each child's day.
Do you have any ideas on how to improve these numbers? Or is it a necessary 'evil?'
