Diet of children with special dietary needs in kindergartens.
CHYLÍKOVÁ, Noemi Bohuslava
The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis deals with dietary restrictions in children caused by various types of disease or intolerance of certain components of food, including coeliac disease, food allergies, gluten allergy, type 1 diabetes and lactose intolerance. The aim of the practical part is to determine how many children suffer from these conditions and how many kindergartens are willing and able to adapt to their needs. The used method is a statistical survey using questionnaires. 137 kindergartens took part in the survey. 81% of them are attended by children with various dietary restrictions and more than half (56%) are willing to prepare specific meals for them. 30% allow children to bring their own food. Girls and boys are affected equally, most commonly by lactose intolerance. More and more kindergartens will have to deal with this issue in the future. As a recommendation, I would propose to introduce the topic of dietary nutrition at specialised schools and provide training to school canteen staff.

Dietary habits of children from age 6 to 12 suffering from diabetes mellitus type 1
ŠUBOVÁ, Aneta
This bachelor's thesis I focuses on the topic of Dietary habits of children from age 6 to 12 suffering from diabetes mellitus type 1. It is based around this group of children because they will be living with diabetes their whole life and as they are getting more independent at this age, it is necessary to teach them as much as possible. The theoretical part of this thesis includes the description of diabetes mellitus itself. Then it focuses on type 1 diabetes only because this type occurs amongst children the most. The theoretical part then contains information about how to prevent type 1 diabetes, how to diagnose it, what complications can occur and possible treatments. There is also an in-depth description of proper eating habits of people suffering from this disease. The end of the theoretical part is dedicated to characterization of 'young school age', dieting of young children and school catering. Aims of this bachelor's thesis were: to map eating habits of children with diabetes mellitus type 1, to compare them to eating habits of healthy children and to map physical activity of children suffering from diabetes. The research involved 10 children - half of them suffering from type 1 diabetes, the other half were healthy children. Data were obtained in an interview, through a survey and by listing the food intake. It appears that children suffering from type 1 diabetes tend to have more variety in their diet, they consume some kind of food (e.g. vegetables and fruit) more often and they also have higher fiber intake than healthy children. Analysing the food intake revealed lower average intake of fats and energy amongst children who suffer from diabetes. The amount of fats consumed by children with diabetes corresponded with recommendations. But, according to recommendations, energy intake was not correct in either one of these groups of children.
