Primary purpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Brief summary: This research will be conducted to evaluate the effect of digital game and video animation-based diabetes education on the quality of life of children with Type 1 Diabetes. HbA1c, diabetes knowledge and Quality of Life Scale in Children with Diabetes (PedsQL 3.0) score will be taken into consideration when evaluating the quality of life of children with type 1 diabetes.

Detailed description: This research was conducted to examine the effects of diabetes education given to children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus with digital game and video animation on quality of life and metabolic control. The study is a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. It was conducted with a total of 55 children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, including the experimental (n=27) and control group (n=28). Diabetes education was given to the experimental group with digital games and video animations. Data were collected before the training, at the 3rd and 6th months after the training. Research data were collected with "Descriptive Information Form", "Quality of Life Scale in Children with Diabetes Mellitus" and "Metabolic Control Parameters Follow-up Form". Children in the control group received routine outpatient examination/check-up and diabetes education by a diabetes nurse. Children in the intervention group were given digital game and video animation-based training, as well as routine outpatient examination/check-up and training given by a diabetes nurse.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Children's willingness to participate in the research (written consent of their parents, verbal consent was obtained from the children),
* Being between the ages of 8-12,
* Having been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus at least 1 year ago
* To have regular follow-ups,
* No communication disability (speech, hearing, vision problems)
* It means having a device (computer) with internet connection at home and being able to use it.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Having any chronic disease together with diabetes,
* Using an insulin pump
