About this study

The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between the nutritional content of the diet consumed by children and adolescents (0-18 years old) with the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and metabolic control. In this cross-sectional study, 150 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes who came to Ege University Child Health and Diseases Department, Pediatric Endocrine and Diabetes Department for regular check-ups (4 diabetes control/year) and kept food consumption records in the last 1 year will be included. Body weight and height measurements of the cases will be done by the same person in Ege University Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes BD Polyclinic. Turkish Standard Institute approved Baster brand weighing instrument with 0.1 kg intervals and height measurements will be made with Harpander brand stadiometer with 0.1 cm intervals. SD scores of body weight, height and body mass index for age Neyzi et al. It will be calculated using the reference values developed for Turkish children by Age, diabetes age, gender, height - body weight-body mass index SD score, HbA1c level, daily energy intake, percentage of energy from carbohydrate-protein-fat-saturated fat in energy, daily fiber intake amount of the cases will be recorded in the case report form. The biochemical values of the participants will be taken from the file records. The data will be entered into the statistical package program and the patients' 1) carbohydrate, protein, fat, saturated fat intake, 2) vitamin-mineral intake, and 3) fruit and vegetable consumption will be compared with the recommendations in national and international guidelines and their relationship with metabolic control will be investigated

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes and Children, run by Ege University at 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Macronutrient distribution (time frame: day 1). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
