Retrospective Evaluation on the Use of a New Polysaccharide Complex in Managing Paediatric Type 1 Diabetes with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS).

ABSTRACT: Children and adolescents affected by type 1 diabetes have an increased risk of being overweight or obese and of suffering from cardiometabolic symptoms. To retrospectively evaluate the effects of a new complex of polysaccharide macromolecules, Policaptil Gel Retard® (PGR), on auxological and metabolic parameters, glycaemic variability and control parameters in paediatric patients with type 1 diabetes and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Data for 27 paediatric patients with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in conjunction with obesity and MetS of at least 5 years' standing were collected and retrospectively studied. Of these, 16 (median age 12.9, range 9.5-15.8 years) had been adjunctively treated with PGR and 11 (median age 12.6, range 9.4-15.6 years) had not been treated with PGR. Auxological, met
