Abstract
Increasing age in childhood is associated with progressive development of psychomotor, mental and emotional skills. Where appropriate, a child with diabetes should be given responsibility for insulin administration suitable to his or her stage of development, as it is important that parents should provide that autonomy to the child (International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes, 2000; Streisand et al, 2002). This study was undertaken to assess the insulin administration skills of children with diabetes in different age groups, and to see whether age, diabetes duration or HbA1c level had an effect on these skills.
