Do Children and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes Have Healthy Eating?:Real-life Data
Condition: Type 1 Diabetes; Children; Adolescent
MeSH terms: Diabetes Mellitus; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1
Study type: Observational

Summary: 
      The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between the nutritional content of the
      diet consumed by children and adolescents (0-18 years old) with the diagnosis of type 1
      diabetes and metabolic control. In this cross-sectional study, 150 children and adolescents
      with type 1 diabetes who came to Ege University Child Health and Diseases Department,
      Pediatric Endocrine and Diabetes Department for regular check-ups (4 diabetes control/year)
      and kept food consumption records in the last 1 year will be included. Body weight and height
      measurements of the cases will be done by the same person in Ege University Pediatric
      Endocrinology and Diabetes BD Polyclinic. Turkish Standard Institute approved Baster brand
      weighing instrument with 0.1 kg intervals and height measurements will be made with Harpander
      brand stadiometer with 0.1 cm intervals. SD scores of body weight, height and body mass index
      for age Neyzi et al. It will be calculated using the reference values developed for Turkish
      children by Age, diabetes age, gender, height - body weight-body mass index SD score, HbA1c
      level, daily energy intake, percentage of energy from carbohydrate-protein-fat-saturated fat
      in energy, daily fiber intake amount of the cases will be recorded in the case report form.
      The biochemical values of the participants will be taken from the file records. The data will
      be entered into the statistical package program and the patients' 1) carbohydrate, protein,
      fat, saturated fat intake, 2) vitamin-mineral intake, and 3) fruit and vegetable consumption
      will be compared with the recommendations in national and international guidelines and their
      relationship with metabolic control will be investigated
