Abstract
Presents the results of a medical audit of the records of 199
children diagnosed as diabetic and admitted to Al‐Amiri Hospital,
Kuwait. Uses the measurement of glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1) to
indicate the levels of control achieved. Finds that the degree of
glycaemic control compares favourably with studies done in other
hospitals, but unfavourably with specialized diabetic clinics. Proposes
that glycaemic control could be improved by provision of the services of
specialized support staff such as dietitian, educator, psychologist and
health visitor.
