ABSTRACT
Background: Patients worldwide are affected by diabetes
mellitus (DM), one of the most frequent diseases in the world. Various organs
and systems in the body are affected by diabetic complications, which can be
either microvascular or macrovascular in nature. Finding out and preventing
these variables is critical to improving the quality of life for diabetics.
Objective: To assess
the poor glycemic control and its association with affected factors it in our
diabetes population.
Material and
Methods: This Observational study was conducted on 80
patients in the Department of Pediatric (Unit II), Liquate University Hospital,
Jamshoro/Hyderabad for six months from 1st January to 30th
June 2021. Diabetic children between the ages of 1 and 15 who had Type-1DM and
were on insulin therapy at LUMHS Hospital Jamshoro/Hyderabad were eligible for
inclusion. Using a pre-tested structured questionnaire, we asked particular
questions of each child after they had been inspected and their family history
was gathered. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 26.0
Results: A total of 80 patients
were enrolled in this study. Table: 1 shows the age and gender profile of the
children. The most of the children were in the age group 5 to 12 years, with a
p-value of 0.0001. As demonstrated in Table 2, the Subject had Polyuria,
Polydipsia, Polyphagia, Fatigability and weight loss due to Diabetic
ketoacidosis, the prevalence of consanguinity in the family, average monthly
earnings, and the cost of insulin and glucose control. Table 3 shows weight and
height. Graph I (p=0.0001) reveal that 14 (17.5%), 17 (21.2%), and 49 (61.2%)
participants had good, fair, or poor glycemic control, respectively.
Conclusion: Uncontrolled diabetes and complications are
linked to poor insulin adherence, which is the mainstay of treatment. It is
suggested that this topic be explored further.
