The project focuses on connecting children and adolescents with diabetes to help them live healthy lives and avoid unnecessary stress. We will organise educational camps for 8– to 17-year-olds to emphasise the DO’s rather than the DON’Ts for a healthy, balanced lifestyle that includes physical activity, healthy eating, SMBG and treatment. Different strategies and alternatives will be discussed to increase the adoption of self-management practices. A survey will be conducted before and after the camps, with a follow-up three months later to monitor effectiveness.
