Children With Diabetes is an on-line community for children, families and adults with diabetes. Through education, professional support and peer support, we are changing the expectations for care for children with type 1 diabetes throughout the world. We teach families to be advocates for their own care and to insist on the current bestpractices as defined by peer-reviewed science.

Children With Diabetes exemplifies the potential of the Internet to do good—in this case, by changing the expectations of care for children with type 1 diabetes. Before CWD, families accepted care regimens that were deficient both in medical and in social terms. By educating families about the current best-practices in diabetes care, CWD encourages its visitors to seek out health care teams that offer better care options, ensuring that their children lead lives as healthy and normal as medical science allows.

The goal of Children With Diabetes is to provide education and support to families who have children with diabetes. Through tuition, families will learn about today's best-practices and be able to select a diabetes care regimen that affords their children the best possible health outcome. Through peer-support, families learn how to cope with the challenges of raising a child with a chronic illness and how to help their child thrive in spite of its diabetes.

Children With Diabetes is used by families who have kids with diabetes, adults and teenagers with diabetes, as well as health care professionals. Anyone with diabetes benefits from the tuition and peer-support that is freely available at CWD.
