Background: Diabetes mellitus type one is a common metabolic disorder among pediatrics. Diabetic children’s families should be able to measure the blood sugar of their children and inject them insulin correctly.
Materials & methods: Thirty-six families which had diabetic children were recruited to this study and were asked about the way they were injecting insulin to their children.
Results: Forty-eight percent of the clients were injecting insulin at the scheduled time according to their physicians’ order. Thirty percent had injections with the correct angle and in appropriate sites. And only 14% were changing the injection sites daily.
Conclusion: According to the results, diabetic children’s families still need education on how to inject insulin to their children.
