Summary

The clinical implication of this study lies in the identification of factors that may predict reduced insulin sensitivity in children and adolescents at the onset of Type 1 Diabetes and would help the physician to undertake appropriate therapy more quickly by achieving the correct therapeutic dosage, in order to achieve good metabolic compensation at an early stage and thus reduce the time (and costs) of hospitalisation.

Detailed description

The primary aim of this observational, retrospective, single-centre, non-pharmacological study is to assess whether the presence of clinical and laboratory predictive factors at the onset of type 1 diabetes may be related to an increased insulin requirement in a population of pediatric and adolescent patients with diagnosis of type 1 diabetes between January 2014 and December 2018 at the Pediatrics Unit of the IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria of Bologna, Italy. The secondary aim is to assess the insulin requirement 1 year after the onset of type 1 diabetes. This study consists of collection and analyses of clinical and laboratory data of patients enrolled.
