Abstract
The current investigation examined the accuracy of diabetic children's 24-hr recall data by comparing the 7- to 12-year-old children's reports to direct observations of their behavior. Observers' data evidenced sufficient reliability to serve as an acceptable standard to which the children's 24-hr recall data could be compared. The children exhibited excellent agreement with the observers' data on all measures of the occurrence/nonoccurrence of events, including insulin injections, exercise periods, glucose tests, meal, type and amount of insulin injected. Although somewhat poorer reporters on some behaviors, differences were small. Children underreported most dietary behaviors and some exercise behaviors.
