Abstract
The scholastic situation of 85 juvenile diabetics was studied and compared to that of 85 normal pupils, all in the province of Havana. It was concluded that the intellectual ability of juvenile diabetics is normal both as shown by psychological tests and by scholastic performance. Teachers considered them to be well behaved, to have good interpersonal relationships, correct attitude towards learning, although sadder and reserved. The clinical manifestations of the disease cause a high incidence of failures to attend lessons, especially between the ages of 6 and 9, which leads to repercussions on the rate of promotion in the grades corresponding to these ages. Teachers were found to know little about diabetes.
