| description | Background/Aim. Children with type 1 diabetes typically spend one-third of
the day in school and they should achieve the same level of diabetes
management there as they do outside the school environment. The aim of this
study was to identify problems in diabetes management in children with type 1
diabetes at school according to the perceptions reported by children and
parents. Methods. This crosssectional survey was carried out at nine public
hospitals in Serbia with a cohort of 6-18-year old children/adolescents. The
parents were personally informed about the objectives of the survey and the
necessity to involve their children. The self-reporting questionnaire
included demographic information as well as some questions that helped to
evaluate the general situation of children with type 1 diabetes at school.
Results. The obtained results show that not all children test blood glucose
levels at school (50% of children in the 6-10- year-old age group and 67.3%
in the age group over 11 years) and that not all children receive insulin at
school (81.1% vs 18.9%, and 57.7% vs 42.3%, respectively). The frequency of
severe hypoglycemia was 2.7% in children and 3.3% in adolescents. A high
proportion of teachers did not have diabetes training. Conclusion. This brief
report about problems in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes at
school in Serbia indicates what happens in the school setting and suggests
how to improve control of this disease and facilitate the complete
integration of children with diabetes at school. |
