K DSA project of the
International Diabetes Federation Kids & Diabetes in Schools
Creating a better school environment
The KiDS project aims to foster a safe and supportive school environment that creates a better understanding of diabetes and supports children with this condition. It also provides information about how type 2 diabetes can be prevented by making effective lifestyle choices.
KiDS information pack
Developed by healthcare experts, The Global Diabetes Information Pack for Schools provides teachers, parents and children with information on diabetes prevention and its management.
The pack is not intended to replace the advice of healthcare professionals and should always be accompanied by educational sessions.
The pack is available for download from www.idf.org/education/kids in nine languages - Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Greek, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish - and also as an app for iOS and Android tablets.
Diabetes in children
Diabetes in childhood is a global public health issue with 86,300 children under the age of 15 developing type 1 diabetes annually (IDF Diabetes Atlas Seventh Edition, 2015).
Type 2 diabetes is also on the increase in children and adolescents.
Diabetes in school
Schools play an important role in protecting the rights of children with diabetes. However, for many of these children lack of knowledge within school about diabetes causes isolation and discrimination.
