"GOVERNARE IL DIABETE" ("TO STEER DIABETES"): A NEW PROPOSAL FOR DIABETIC CAMPS. ACTA BIOMED ATENEO PARMENSE. 2003;74 SUPPL 1:29-31

"Governare il diabete" (the italian translation of "To steer diabetes") is a project which gives young diabetics the opportunity of sailing with non-diabetic companions in a protected and educational environment. The education technique, based on the parallelism between sailing and diabetes, encourage correct self-management of both diabetes related and unrelated problems. The impact of the experience on self-esteem, quality of life and metabolic control is currently under investigation.
