The recent inclusion of the diabetic child in the list of children for whom special provision is required to be made by Local Authorities confronts the School Medical Officer with the following questions:

(1) To what extent does the disease exist in a school population?

(2) Is it increasing, and if so, to what extent?

(3) What is its significance in terms of morbidity?

(4) What is its significance as a source of loss of child life?

(5) To what extent is the disease subject to control?
