Introduction
Among the most common childhood illnesses, type 1 Diabetes is at the top of the list. However, there is an alarming rise of type 2 Diabetes in children, all over the globe (Pansier & Schulz, 2015). Type 2 Diabetes, in children, can lead to improper growth. Furthermore, it can also suppress the immunity, thereby weakens the defense mechanism of the body against various diseases making them immunocompromised. In contrast to adults, children differ from adults in many ways. For instance, a weak ability of self-control and a low compliance rate makes them hard to carry out proper treatments.

Third intervention was to improving medication nursing by informing the families about the right way and right time of the drugs taking. Additionally, they must also be informed to monitor blood glucose levels and keeping records. The families should be urged to keep the long-term medication and so avoid diabetes complication that occurs on account of irregular use of drugs, such as ketoacidosis. Dietary nursing was the fourth intervention according to which customized diet plan for each child was designed and maintained, founded on some basic rules for all, such as low-fat, low-sodium and low-sugar.
