简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.
