Insulin regimens, diabetes knowledge, quality of life, and HbA1c in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes

Abstract

The percentage of children and adolescents with the highest risk of complications decreased markedly. The distribution of HbA1c better depicts the glycemic control in a population than the mean or the percentage of patients reaching the target (7.5%). HbA1c was more strongly associated with general health perception than with therapeutic regimens and diabetes knowledge.
