The document notes that previously children with this diagnosis were assigned a category of disability up to 14 years.
However, children between the ages of 14 and 18 who have this disease also need the support of parents and doctors “due to sharp fluctuations in blood sugar levels amid hormonal adjustment, physical and emotional stress,” which in the absence of observation can cause complications.
"The signed decree established that the category" disabled child "is assigned when examining children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus before the age of 18," the resolution says.
Earlier in Russia, simplified the procedure for establishing disability.
In particular, an electronic document flow between medical institutions was introduced, which will reduce the time required for registration of disability.
