Abstract:
The Florida Camp for Children and Youth With Diabetes sponsored a weekend in which teenagers with diabetes invited a friend of the same sex without diabetes to participate in a two-day retreat. This program was designed to encourage friends to take an active role in motivating the teen with diabetes to perform his or her diabetes-related tasks in a responsible manner. Forty-six patients ranging in age from 12-17 years brought friends. Those with diabetes participated in rap sessions as well as educational sessions attempting to teach independence in self-care. The friends were taught the basics of diabetes as well as given an opportunity to inject saline and monitor their own blood glucose levels. A choice of activities was interspersed with education.
