Official title
Assessment of Carbohydrate Content Estimation Among Sohag University Students With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Their Glycemic Control
Overview
This study assesses carbohydrate counting knowledge and its impact on glycemic control among Sohag University students with type 1 diabetes mellitus. A structured educational intervention will be delivered, followed by reassessment after three months.
Detailed description
This interventional study targets undergraduate students diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus at Sohag University. Baseline data will include demographic characteristics, diabetes-related history, carbohydrate counting knowledge assessed using the PedCarbQuiz, and glycemic control parameters including HbA1c.
Participants will receive a structured educational session focusing on carbohydrate counting principles and insulin dose adjustment. Educational booklets will be provided. After three months, carbohydrate counting knowledge and glycemic control will be reassessed to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention.
Interventions
- Behavioral Carbohydrate Counting Education
educational session on carbohydrate counting and insulin dose adjustment.
Primary outcome measures
- change in HbA1c [Time frame: 3 months]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Change in Carbohydrate counting knowledge [Time frame: base line and 3 months]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Confirmed diagnosis of T1DM for at least 1 year.

Exclusion criteria
- University students who refuse to participate in the study
- Students with other types of diabetes (T2DM, MODY, etc.)
