Audit of glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes referred to a pediatric clinic in a specialized center in Kuwait

Intensive glycemic control reduces the risk of microvascular and macrovascular complications. Furthermore, optimal glycemic control is essential for normal growth and development. Thus, there is a need to monitor and evaluate glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Our aim was to audit glycemic control in patients with T1D in a specialized center as per the Society of Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) target recommendations published in 2014.
