Association between attendance at an American diabetes camp and improvements in glycaemic control and treatment satisfaction.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Few studies have evaluated glycaemic control using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in individuals before and after attendance at a diabetes camp or by comparing control groups at home to control groups at camp.

Methods

Youth (6-17 years) with T1D and receiving insulin therapy were enrolled at a week-long diabetes camp.
