English term or phrase: Diabetes Survival Skills
"These, along with knowing how to check blood sugar and give insulin, are known as Diabetes Survival Skills."

Is there an equivalent term in Norwegian that is commonly used for diabetes? This is for a children's book about diabetes, and I am editing a back translation. The translator used "grunnleggende diabetesferdigheter", which, especially when translated back, is different enough from the source that I want to make sure there isn't something else. I also can't see that it's a commonly used term.

Explanation:
As this is a book for children I would keep it simple and rewrite it a bit. I know that "ferdigheter for å håndtere diabetes" is also used.
