Abstract

Objective To analyze the influence of diabetes camp on blood glucose levels and emotion in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods A total of 72 children and adolescents with T1DM were selected into this study from Endocrine Metabolism Digestive Department,Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, and were divide into two groups according to whether they have participated in diabetes camp or not. The latest glycated hemoglobin A 1c(HbA1c) level was tested. The emotional status of children and adolescents with T1DM was evaluated by Depression Self-rating Scale for Children (DSRS) and the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED). The blood glucose levels, depression and anxiety rates of the two groups were compared. The correlations of the number of diabetes camps with depression and anxiety were analyzed. Results The average HbA1c level of T1DM group was at an optimal level [(7.481±1.331)%]. The average HbA1c level in children who have participated in diabetes camp was significantly lower than that in children who have not participated in diabetes camp before [(7.146±1.265)% vs. (7.797±1.331)%, t=2.127, P=0.037]. The detection rate of depression in children who have participated in diabetes camp was significantly lower than that in children who have not participated in diabetes camp before (20.0% vs. 43.2%, χ²=4.470, P=0.035). Concerning the detection rate of anxiety in children and adolescents, there was no significant difference between the two groups(14.3% vs. 24.3%, χ²=1.157, P=0.282). The number of diabetes camps was negatively correlated with the depression in children and adolescents with T1DM (OR=0.417,P=0.004),but no correlation with anxiety (P=0.231). Conclusions Diabetes camp can improve blood glucose levels and reduce the depression in the children and adolescents with T1DM.The more chidren participate in the diabetes camp, the less likely children are to experience depression.
