Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder of glucose metabolism which affects some estimated four million Americans today. As a cause of death it is predicted that it will rate second only to heart disease by 1980. Juvenile diabetes, which afflicts approximately ten percent of this number, is defined as a disease whose onset usually occurs before fifteen years of age.

This was a study of the attitudes of the adolescent diabetic. The following null hypotheses were investigated:

I. There will be no difference in the marriage plans of non­diabetic adolescents and diabetic adolescents.
II. There will be no difference in the occupational plans of non­diabetic adolescents and diabetic adolescents.
III. There will be no difference in the educational plans of non­diabetic adolescents and diabetic adolescents.
