Impact of tailored diabetes education on adherence and glycemic control in children and adolescents on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, prospective interventional study in a tertiary center
Interventional analysis shows tailored diabetes education improves adherence and glycemic control in youth using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion.
Key Points
Tailored diabetes education significantly improved adherence and glycemic outcomes in children with type 1 diabetes.
Patients showed a significant drop in HbA1c from 8.82 to 7.18 after 6 months of education with a P-value of 0.000.
Improvements in time in range were observed at 3 and 6 months post-education with P-values of 0.048 and 0.025 respectively.
Structured educational programs combined with insulin pump usage are essential for achieving metabolic control in youth.
