Abstract
Aim of work: To evaluate the HRQOL in children and adolescents with T1D who come for regular follow up visits in the diabetes clinic of Diabetes Endocrine and Metabolism Pediatric Unit and to assess the correlation of HRQOL scales with the metabolic control. Patients and methods: This was a case control study conducted on 177 T1D young children (> 8 to <12 years). HRQOL was assessed by DAWN Youth Quality of Life Tool-Arabic version.Results: The median age of onset of diabetes was 7.14years. Children controlled diabetes showed significant lower HRQOL scores compared to non-controls as total score (p= 0.032), impact of symptoms relating to diabetes (p= 0.006), impact on activates (p= 0.020), and Impact on health perception (p= 0.001) There was a negative correlation between frequency of hospital admission due to DKA (r= 0.16, P=0.034) and due to hyperglycemia(r= 0.21, P=0.006). Conclusion: glycemic control significantly affects HRQOL especially regarding symptoms relating to activates, and health perception
