About

The incidence of type 1 diabetes is increasing worldwide and in France, including among young children.

Type 1 diabetes has consequences for integration in community, especially on the management of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, mealtimes, participation in sporting activities and school trips.

This works' purpose is to describe obstacles and difficulties to the integration in community before primary school (day care center, childminder, and nursery school) of a complete sample of children with type 1 diabetes followed in the Diabetology Department of Lyon Pediatric Hospital, at the start of the school year 2018-2019. The investigating team will carry out a descriptive study, using different questionnaires addressed to the professionals (nursery school directors, day care nursery directors, childminders, school doctors, pediatricians and doctors of child and maternal protection centers) and to the parents of children with type 1 diabetes. These different questionnaires will help to take into account different points of view, in order to identify all the obstacles to integration of children with type 1 diabetes in community.

Through this work, secondary information actions through training and/or information leaflets will be carried out in order to facilitate the reception of these children in the community.
