Evaluation of therapeutics management patterns and glycemic control of pediatric type 1 diabetes mellitus patients in Turkey: A nationwide cross-sectional study

Highlights • Basal bolus insulin injection (BBI) insulin therapy is widely used among pediatric T1DM patients in our country. • Taking carbohydrate count and insulin correction dose into consideration had positive impact on the metabolic control. Therefore, promoting the use of carbohydrate count and insulin correction doses may potentially improve the metabolic outcome. • Despite improvement in the treatment facilities and diabetic care, metabolic control is not at a satisfactory level in our country. • New and comprehensive initiatives require for patients with poor metabolic control, particularly a special care for the HbA1c >10%(86mmol/mol) level group.
