Effect on Glycemic Control of an Early Intensive Dietary Structured Education Program for Newly Diagnosed Children with Type 1 Diabetes in Jordan.

ABSTRACT:

Methods

This is a retrospective medical chart review study at Jordan University Hospital. The glycemic control of children who were diagnosed with T1D and included in the SEP between June 2017 and December 2019, was compared with those who were exposed to the conventional diabetes education, between January 2014 and December 2016. Various factors were assessed for the possible effects on the SEP outcomes.

Results

The average age at diagnosis for the 112 persons with diabetes (PwD) included in the dietary SEP was 8.30 ± 3.87 years. Glycated hemoglobin was lower in children in the SEP group at 6 months (P value = 0.001) and 12 months (P=0.032) but not at 24 months (P=0.290). SEP had better effect on patients older than 5 years.
