The children's pain intensity during and immediately after insulin injection scores will be rated by the children themselves and a researcher using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale.
OTHER	Control group stander care	The children's pain intensity scores during and immediately after insulin injection will be rated by the children themselves and a researcher by using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale to control the group who don't receive the previous method of intervention and receive routine care only.
