Clinical Trial Summary

During the current unusual situation with COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown applied in most of the countries, school students were kept at home and offered e-learning modules and all activities were suspended.

Lockdown entails significant modifications of life style, involving changes in physical activities, dietary habits and nutrition, which are likely to impact glycemic control.

So the aim of the current study is to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on glycemic control among children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.


Clinical Trial Description

All aspects of life were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic created heavy burdens on all countries affecting all foundations of the country. Global measures aimed to limit spread of COVID- 19 infection and a series of restriction were announced by serial countries including the suspension of schools, organized sports activities and gatherings. On March, 2020 Egypt started to take a series of lockdown regulation to control the spread of infection.

The restriction and lockdown will impact the whole population especially populations with chronic disease. It is known that the lockdown will render access to outpatient clinics and services,beside the possible limitation of access to care, the restrictions may affect glycemic control patients with diabetes.

The negative impact of limiting physical exercise, behavioral changes, dietary changes and fear of shortage of medical supplies could have an influence on diabetes control.

Study procedure:

All included patients / caregivers will complete an online questionnaire. For patients with limited internet access, the questionnaire will be carried out through phone calls according to patients' convenience.

Perceived stress scale-10 (Arabic Validated version) will be used to measure patients'/ caregivers' level of stress in response to the extraordinary status of the pandemic and its consequences. The scale is a 10 questions scale that will be circulated among the patients as an Arabic validated electronic form .

Medical reports and files of included patients will be reviewed and last visit before the lock down will be thoroughly evaluated to identify:

- Patients' body weight, body mass index.

- Insulin regimen with special emphasis on total daily dose and percentage of basal insulin.

- Glycemic control of patients by evaluating the last HbA1C After completing the questionnaire, patients' insulin dosage and glycemic control during the quarantine period will be re-evaluated.

Evaluation of glycemic control at the end of the study:

- For patients on self- monitoring of blood glucose, a rapid Hba1c test will be done according to patients' convenience, patterns and frequency of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia will be evaluated.

- For those on continous glucose monitoring ( if available), the data will be extracted from the ambulatory glucose profile(AGP). ;
