Children’s Diabetes Service

The Children’s Diabetes Service at Cork University Hospital cares for over 450 children with Type 1 Diabetes and also children with other forms of diabetes. Out of this large number of children with Type 1 Diabetes, there are over 300 children using insulin pump therapy with the remaining using multiple daily injections of insulin. A large part of our role is providing educating and support to children and their families following their diagnosis of diabetes.
