Effect on Glycemic Control of an Early Intensive Dietary Structured Education Program for Newly Diagnosed Children with Type 1 Diabetes in Jordan
Authors' conclusion
Our dietary SEP was associated with better glycemic control than conventional diabetes education, at 6 and 12 months after diagnosis. It had a positive effect, mainly in PwD patients who are older than 5 years and had higher maternal educational level.
