Dr Rahul Jahagirdar, Dr Bhakti Sarangi

Abstract :

 Individuals with Type 1 DM confront serious lifestyle alterations. Impairment of growth and susceptibility to infections may also accompany chronic hyperglycemia. The present study aims at longitudinally analyzing the glycemic control, growth and complications in children with type 1 DM.

In an observational, cross sectional field study conducted over a period of 24 months, 50 children of Type 1 DM on treatment were analyzed.

The commonest symptoms were polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss and polyphagia with a significant number of patients presenting with Diabetic ketoacidosis. The basal bolus regimen helps to achieve better glycemic control. Poor glycemic control has a direct effect on development of complications including impaired growth velocity and early changes of diabetic nephropathy.
