Type 1 diabetes mellitus imposes a new routine on children and their families, experiencing and seeking constant adaptations. The objective of the research was to study the difficulties faced daily in relation to the treatment of childhood DM1 and the factors that contribute to the emergence of these difficulties. An integrative literature review was carried out with data collection in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), Pubmed and Academic Google, using the following descriptors in English: “Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus”, “Children`s”, “Family” and in Portuguese (Diabetes Mellitus type 1, Infantil, Family). Articles published in the last five years, national or international, with full texts in English and Portuguese were included. Initially, 72 articles were selected, of which 11 were used for analysis, interpretation and discussion. The study showed that the difficulties are different and that each step depends on the information acquired and the care performed in childhood diabetes mellitus 1, and the most important factor in the treatment was family support, with the continuous search for information and prioritization of the child's well-being.
