title: [Evaluation of the results of the treatment of children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus fully or partially trained in self care].
abstract: The study was aimed at assessing the results of diabetes mellitus therapy in 162 children, who underwent 1) the full programme of diabetes education (114 children) and 2) only the part of it (48 children). The first group was under care of Cracow Medical School Pediatrics Institute since the disease and had 2 weeks of formal diabetes mellitus teaching. The second group was treated in a less unified way in different hospitals and did not have the chance of regular teaching programme. The degree of metabolic control was assessed by series of Hb A1c determinations in whole 1987 year. The levels of Hb A1c were also compared with the children age, diabetes mellitus duration and the period elapsing from the time of last teaching. Children who were fully educated in the problems of their disease achieved significantly better results. In all group a deterioration of diabetes control during puberty was however observed. In children not fully educated such a deterioration was also noted in correlation with diabetes mellitus duration.
