Background: A metabolic condition known as diabetes mellitus (DM) is defined by a shortfall in insulin secretion or activity, which leads to hyperglycemia. Type I, type II, and gestational diabetes are the three main subtypes of diabetes mellitus. Objective: To determine the knowledge of nurses’ students about type 1 diabetes in children. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted to evaluate the nursing students at the University of Mosul's understanding of diabetes type 1 in children. The student's information was gathered between January 2, 2023, and January 15, 2023. A total of 152 samples were collected during the research. Data was collected using a questionnaire constructed based on previous studies and related to the literature, which consisted of 22 questions. Data were entered and analyzed using the statistics program. Results: The knowledge of the students at the College of Nursing was relatively good, but not at a high level; the educational level of 152 students was “79.6%” acceptable, “18.4%” good, and “1.9%” poor. In the present study, the males and females were approximately equal. Conclusion: The students' knowledge of the signs and symptoms was good, indicating that they are well-informed about diabetes and motivated to explore ways to reduce the disease as well as treatment
