Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • We assessed improvement in glycemic control in Rwanda youth with diabetes. • 2 yr after introduction of education and A1c testing mean A1c fell from 11.2 to 9.8%. • Hypertension was very common affecting over 40% of the population during follow up. • Different patterns of glycemic control over time were noted. • Those with worst control measured their glucose less frequently.
