Key finding
The IG showed a significant increase in adherence to the carbohydrate counting method (CHCM).
This study evaluated the impact of a multidisciplinary educational program on quality of life and glycemic control in children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes. The intervention improved adherence to carbohydrate counting but did not significantly affect quality of life or glycemic control.

Study focus
This study evaluated the impact of a multidisciplinary educational program on quality of life and glycemic control in children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes. The intervention improved adherence to carbohydrate counting but did not significantly affect quality of life or glycemic control.
Understanding the effectiveness of educational interventions is crucial for managing Type 1 Diabetes in youth. While improving adherence to dietary management can be beneficial, the lack of impact on overall quality of life and glycemic control highlights the need for comprehensive approaches that address multiple aspects of diabetes management.
The study did not demonstrate significant changes in quality of life or glycemic control. Effect sizes for many outcomes were unclear or not statistically significant. The sample size and population characteristics may limit generalizability.

The intervention group showed a significant increase in adherence to carbohydrate counting.
Quality of life levels in both the intervention and control groups showed no significant differences.
The intervention did not significantly affect glycemic control as measured by HbA1c.
