TL;DR
To audit glycaemic control and incidence of severe hypoglycaemia in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.
Abstract
Many children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes have suboptimal glycaemic control, placing them at high risk of developing microvascular complications. Those with longer diabetes duration are at increased risk of suboptimal glycaemic control and severe hypoglycaemia and should be targeted for interventional strategies.

Intensive therapy effectively delays the onset and slows the progression of diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy in patients with IDDM.

It is concluded that intensive therapy effectively delays the onset and slows the progression of diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy when initiated in adolescent subjects; the benefits outweigh the increased risk of hypoglycemia that accompanies such treatment.

Female patients aged 13-14 years seem to be at greatest risk for developing disordered eating patterns, and using the clinical cutoff score of the EDI Bulimia subscale as a screener in diabetes clinics may help identify adolescents whose disordered Eating patterns are likely to compromise their glycemic control.

It is concluded that attempts to achieve improved metabolic control must be accompanied by efforts to minimise the effects of significant hypoglycaemia, particularly in the younger age group.

The results of this study indicated that IWs exhibit more symptoms associated with the spectrum of eating disorders than non-IWs, and insulin withholding for weight control not only exists, but is associated with some maladaptive symptoms and behaviors that need to be addressed by diabetes treatment teams.
