Examined whether a well-established treatment program for functional enuresis, the urine alarm procedure, would be useful for children with both enuresis and diabetes. 5 children between the ages of 7 and 14 whose pretreatment physical examination suggested no neurological impairment were treated. A multiple baseline design across children indicated that the urine alarm procedure was successful in stopping enuretic episodes for all 5 children with treatment gains maintained for the 4 children available for assessment at 2-month follow-up. These results suggest that if no diabetes-related organic impairment is evident, behavioral treatment for enuresis can be beneficial for children with diabetes.

Key words: diabetes; enuresis; urine alarm; treatment outcome.
