Abstract
T1DM is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by destruction of pancreatic beta cells, culminating in absolute insulin deficiency. The majority of cases are attributable to an autoimmune-mediated destruction of beta cells (type 1a) while a small minority of cases results from an idiopathic destruction or failure of beta cells (type 1b). T1DM accounts for 5–10% of the total cases of diabetes worldwideChildren and adolescents have previously been found to have poor glycemic control and high prevalence of complication Strict glycemic control reduces the incidence and progression of chronic complicationStudying of predictors of glycemic control of T1DM among diabetic children and adolescents attending Sidi-Galal Health Insurance Clinic is very helpful for future interventions for reduce T1DM complication and its burden on health, family and community, and to reduce morbidity and mortality of the disease. Aim of the studyGeneral ObjectivesTo develop a set of recommendation for intervention on the individual, family and health service levels to promote glycemic control among children and adolescents to prevent, reduce or delay T1DM complication and their effect on growth and development and to reduce burden of disease on family and health service.
