Diabetes is a chronic disease and its management is associated with multiple challenges. This is particularly the case in children and adolescents. Factors that contribute to difficulties in managing diabetes in youth include psychological characteristics, family dynamics, and social behavior. The purpose of this article is to highlight some psychological issues in children and adolescents with diabetes. We aim to present selected case scenarios encountered by health professionals and to provide tips on strategies for managing psychological aspect of diabetes. We tackle the psychological issues related to diabetes under four main categories: maladaptive disorders, eating disorders, family psychopathology, and family dysfunction. Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis are useful modalities in diabetes management. The psychological intervention is aimed at supporting patients and families to reach a balance between a normal family routine and a good glycemic control. We demonstrate unique requirements in coordinating care for children and adolescents with diabetes and highlight the importance of encouraging a positive behavior. Managing diabetes in children and adolescents needs to be in the form of a collaborative work between health care professionals, children and adolescents, and their families. Caring, supportive family backed up by experienced multidisciplinary team is the best approach to prevent psychological difficulties.

“…El logro de los objetivos de la educación terapéutica puede verse limitado por factores psicológicos (depresión, ansiedad y baja autoestima), el entorno familiar y social (estructura familiar, nivel de educación y socioeconómico, hábitos alimentarios y culturales, grado de cuidado, afecto y comprensión que la familia ofrece al paciente) y el acceso a una cobertura de salud apropiada (33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39). Por ello se considera actualmente que la identificación de problemas psicosociales y la implementación de intervenciones para solucionarlos, pueden mejorar la calidad de los resultados de un programa terapéutico y por ende la calidad de vida de la persona con diabetes (25,27,39).…”

La educación terapéutica es un proceso continuo e indispensable para optimizar los resultados del tratamiento y de esta forma prevenir posibles complicaciones asociadas a la diabetes. Los campamentos para niños con diabetes representan una experiencia de vida en donde las posibilidades de enseñanza-aprendizaje son favorecidas ya que se desarrollan en un ambiente distendido, seguro y en compañía de otros niños y adultos que comparten la misma afección. Las vivencias del campamento ayudan al niño a desarrollar independencia, autoconfianza y una actitud responsable y participativa dentro de su tratamiento. El programa de educación terapéutica debe incluir a otras personas del entorno del niño, especialmente al adulto familiar, ya que la responsabilidad del autocuidado diario debe ser compartida hasta la adolescencia. El éxito de la educación puede verse limitado por factores psicosociales que juegan un importante rol en el control de la diabetes.
