Abstract
In this work, we report on findings from a study of pediatric diabetes in everyday life, aimed at better understanding the needs of children and their parents, and the role of interactive technology in supporting them. Through analysis of a series of in-depth interviews with parents, we identified a series of key challenges in developing tools designed to support everyday self-management. In particular, we focus on and discuss educational issues as they clearly emerged as a recurrent concern in our study.
