Abstract

A mail survey of Michigan school districts elicited information of 2,816 children and adolescents with diabetes, a rate of 1.6 per 1,000. Rates were higher for females than males and for whites than non-whites and increased with advancing age. A total of 15.5 per cent were reported to be not receiving insulin by injection.
