Summary
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that involves a group of metabolic disorders characterized by a hyperglycemic state, caused by the alteration of secretion and/or disorders in the insulin action that, according to the etiology, will subsidize the type of diabetes classification[1,2]. We estimate the existence of more than half of a million children and adolescents under 15 years old with the type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM1) diagnosis in the world. According to the International Diabetes Federation - IDF (2017), when an estimator involves children and adolescents till 20 years old, the number increases to more than 1 million, with the incidence increasing around 3% a year. There is evidence that type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) cases are increasing among children and adolescents because of obesity and sedentarism[3]. The feeding requires extra care, demanding higher caution regarding the hypoglycemia risks, and physical activities must be stimulated and monitored[2]
