Abstract
The study demonstrate that the prevalence of poor control in type 1 diabetic children and adolescents in Kenyan children is far to be acceptable and the great majority of patients may be at high risk for the precocious development of microvascular complications. Adolescent patients have particularly poor control so comprise a special high risk group in the diabetes clinic. The data strongly support the necessity that children and adolescents with T1DM in Kenya receive more aggressive management and follow-up than is currently being provided.Probably the possiblity to obtain analog long acting insulin could be important to improve metabolic control.
