The management of diabetes in children now includes a wide array of insulin analogs, insulin delivery devices, insulin regimens, different types of insulin pumps, continuous and intermittent glucose monitoring. Safe management of the child with diabetes in the perioperative period requires not only an understanding of the pathophysiology of the condition requiring surgery but also a thoughtful consideration of each child's specific diabetes treatment regimen, glycemic control, anticipated postoperative course and the nature of the environment into which they will be discharged.
