Abstract

Type 1 diabetes (also known as insulin-dependent diabetes) is the result of autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas, a chronic disease requiring lifelong treatment. Adherence to treatment and good management of diabetes is a challenge. Objective: To describe the status of adherence to treatment for type 1 diabetes in children at the National Children's Hospital in 2021. Subjective: 130 caregivers of 130 children with type 1 diabetes. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study using direct questionnaires. Results: Adherence rates for insulin administration 90.8%, self Glucose monitoring 20%, diet 82.3-83.8%, physical activity followed the recommendations 24.4%. Conclusions: The rate of children not complying with self glucose monitoring as well as recommended physical activity is still high. It is necessary to advise patients and caregivers on blood glucose testing compliance and physical activity.
