Main Results:

  • Camps successfully facilitated psycho-physical development and maintained good diabetes control.
  • An international camp in 1989 included 56 patients from eight countries.
  • Key operational issues identified: camp duration, site selection, and governmental subsidies.

Conclusions:

  • Diabetes summer camps are beneficial for children's holistic development and diabetes management.
