RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Aim: The aim of the present published work is efficacy evaluation of the modified educational program in achieving the target levels of glycemia in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus in pump insulin therapy in Almaty.. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: This study involved 125 children and adolescents with type 1 DM and evaluated the effectiveness of a modified educational program at the School of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Participants were divided into subgroups based on their method of glycemia evaluation. The program's effectiveness was assessed through pre-and post-training questionnaires and measurement of glycohemoglobin levels. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Statistica application. RESULTS: Results: The study evaluated the effectiveness of a modified educational program for children and adolescents with type 1 DM. The results indicated that those who participated in the modified program demonstrated significant improvements in their knowledge and ability to manage their diabetes. They were able to correctly answer 80-90% of the questionnaire questions six months to a year after the training. Additionally, those in the modified program exhibited better carbohydrate metabolism rates and achieved higher rates of their individual treatment goals, especially when using the FreeStyle Libre system for continuous monitoring of blood glucose levels. These findings suggest that a modified educational approach can significantly enhance diabetes management and treatment outcomes in children and adolescents. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The study concluded that a modified educational program leads to better target therapy levels in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus, highlighting the importance of motivated parents and frequent blood glycemia measurements.
