[Difficulties in maintaining metabolic control in children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus during war].
In this study we analyzed the quality of metabolic control in 42 diabetic children aging 5-20 years (x 14 + 5.1) during the war 92/93 year. We estimated metabolic control in these patients by traditional methods: 24 hours glycaemia (every 3 months), 24 hours glycosuria and home monitoring of glycosuria (self-control 4 times daily) Glicolizated HbA1C and the other up to date laboratory findings we were not able to do in any of diabetics. Metabolic control in all analysed patients was unsatisfactory metabolic control only in 19.1% of diabetics. High level of blood glucose were influenced by in coordinated doses of human insulin and bad correlated food intake during the war. Long duration of hyperglycaemia would have high influence onto early development of microvascular complications.
