Abstract
Little is known about risk factors and levels of glycaemic control for poor-controlled hyperglycaemia in Iraq children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The study aims to determine the glycaemic control and risk factors of poor control hyperglycaemia in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus patients. A cross-sectional study was 209 type 1 diabetics. Glycaemic control of type 1 diabetes varies widely among children and adolescents in Basra/Iraq, risking microvascular complications. Only (36) 17.2% of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus were good-controlled diabetes, (25) 69.4%, was compliance with insulin therapy in good-controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus patients, females were higher than males and in the age group (1-6) years, higher than the other age groups. The major risk factors for poor-controlled hyperglycaemia are noncompliance with insulin therapy, not checking daily glucometer blood glucose and irregular clinic visits for follow-up.
