Document Type : Abstracts

Abstract

According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), Egypt is considered one of the top ten Countries with people living with diabetes. Patients with type 1 diabetes do not have easy access to certified diabetes educators & nutritionists in developing countries like Egypt. Furthermore, management of type 1 diabetes carries great challenges between lowering glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level & increasing risk of hypoglycemia. This study was conducted to study the clinical usefulness of 14-day factory-calibrated glucose monitoring system among Egyptian patients with T1D.
