was consistently reported <strong>in</strong> children with type1 <strong>Diabetes</strong>. however, over the past 50 years<br />

significant improvement <strong>in</strong> the prognosis for growth & f<strong>in</strong>al height <strong>in</strong> children with diabetes has<br />

been achieved.<br />
