The release of NDEP's new educational materials for teens and their parents coincides with National Diabetes Awareness Month in November. The new tools also support the 2007 World Diabetes Day campaign theme "Diabetes in Children and Adolescents," which raises awareness of the rising prevalence of type 1 and type 2 diabetes among youth around the world. World Diabetes Day, November 14, is sponsored by the International Diabetes Federation.
