Survey on Acute and Chronic Complications in Children and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes at Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Abstract

Although there are some methodological limitations, this survey highlights the difficulties of achieving good metabolic control and the high prevalence of acute and chronic complications in Tanzanian children with type 1 diabetes. These results clearly show that major efforts are needed to improve quality of care in children with type 1 diabetes in Tanzania.
