Abstract
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
This study was performed on 40 diabetic infant and adolescent aged (1-17) years
old attending endocrinology clinic in Health Insurance hospital in Port Said. The
patients were subdivided into two groups according to glycemic control measured by
hemoglobin (Hb) AIC. There were 25 patients with good glycemic control (HbAIC
:S7.5%) and 15 patients with moderate to poor glycemic control (HbAlc >7.5%).
The mean age of diabetic children with good glycemic control was (6.8 ±4.4)
years, while the mean age of diabetic children with moderate/poor glycemic control was
(7.7±5.0) years. In good glycemic control group, 11 (44%) were boys and fourteen
(56%) were girls. In moderate/poor glycemic control group, 7 (46.7%) were boys and
fourteen (53.3%) were girls. The residence of the diabetic children with good glycemic
control was 14 urban (56%) / 11 rural (44%). The residence of the moderate/poor
glycemic control group was 9 urban (60%) / 6 rural (40%).
The weight of diabetic children with good glycemic control was (24.2 ± 9.67)
(kg). The weight of moderate/poor glycemic control group was (22.3 ± 11.23) (kg).
Height of the diabetic children with good glycemic control was (115.04 ± 21.99) (cm).
Height of the moderate/poor glycemic control children was (i 12.6 ± 23.66) (cm). The
body mass index (BMI) of the diabetic children with good glycemic control was (17.58
± lA) kg/m”. The body mass index of diabetic group with moderate/poor glycemic
control was (16.65 ± 1.36) kg/rrr’. There was no statistically significant difference
between the two groups regarding height, weight and BM!.
In diabetic patients, 25 children showed good metabolic control (HbAlc :S7.5%),
5 children showed moderate control (HhAic 7.6-9%) and 10 children showed poor
metabolic control (HbAlc >9%). The mean HbAlc was (5.5±0.6%) in diabetic children
with good glycemic control, while the mean HbAlc was (8.7±0.9%) in diabetic children
with moderate/poor glycemic control. The mean duration of diabetes was (3.6±
