Description
Background: Type 1 diabetes is one of the common endocrine diseases among pediatric and adolescent population. The present study was intended to study the glycemic control among pediatric and adolescent population attending endocrine clinic of pediatric /medicine department at tertiary care center in western India. Materials and Methods: A cross – sectional observation study was carried out over period of 3 months at pediatric and medicine outpatient clinic of tertiary care center. A total of 34 patients were registered Data on age, sex, duration of Illness, associated comorbidities, antidiabetic regimen, and HbA1c levels were obtained. Results: A total of 34 patients were enrolled; 61.7% were females. Data showed moderately positive correlation between age and HbA1C level (r = 0.5543, p =0.00068). Mean HbA1C level were low in age group less than 6 years and increase in mean values of HbA1C noted as age increases with a statistical significance. No statistical significance was noted between gender and type of insulin regime with HbA1C level. Conclusion: Patients with T1DM had poor glycemic control with mean HbA1c level of 11.35 ± 2.1 at our center. Older age group and duration of disease were significantly associated with poor control. Further work addressing the factors associated with poor glycemic control is required.
