Abstract
Depression is a common comorbid condition experienced by children with type 1 diabetes that, if undiagnosed, can lead to deterioration in glycemic control and other serious health complications. Although it is documented that children with type 1 diabetes experience high rates of depression, a comprehensive clinical guide does not exist to help direct the pediatric provider on how to best care for these children. The purpose of this article is to synthesize current evidence to aid the pediatric primary care provider in the detection and management of depression in the school-aged child with type 1 diabetes.
