Study focus
A structured diabetes self-management education program using high-definition video technology improved knowledge and glycemic control in pediatric patients with Type 1 Diabetes.
Improving diabetes self-management education through innovative technology can lead to better health outcomes in pediatric patients. Enhanced knowledge and glycemic control are crucial for preventing long-term complications associated with diabetes.
Unclear effectiveness for some outcomes due to lack of statistical significance. Single-arm study limits generalizability of findings. Potential biases in self-reported knowledge assessments.

Diabetes self-management knowledge score increased by 5.71 points (p=0.001).
HbA1c levels decreased by 0.81% (p=0.001) at 4 months.
The proportion of participants achieving target glycemic control rose from 19% to 29%.
The percentage of participants with poor control decreased from 41% to 30%.
