A daily insulin injection is required to manage type 1 diabetes in children but it is not the only management strategy.
The diet plan that goes along with the daily insulin requirements is just as important and needs to be planned accordingly.
Consistency in meal times, portion sizes, and food groups are the keys to successful meal planning for children with diabetes.

Men and women suffer depression almost equally.
Men, however, are taught that any need for help shows weakness.
They are, however, at greater risk for depression-related illnesses and suicide because they hide what is going on from everyone, often even denying it to themselves.
Most men hide their depression by trying to cover their feelings.
They most often do this with drugs, alcohol, sex, or work.
Depression shows in men not as helpless or hopeless, but as angry, frustrated, and other aggressive feelings.
Men are less likely to seek treatment than women and they are less likely to admit that they have a problem.
Depression and men is a silent battle that barely makes a rumble until the battle is over.
