Glycemic control and correlates in a group of sub Saharan type 1 diabetes adolescents
Abstract Objectives This study aims to describe the prevalence of glycemic control and related factors in a population of Sub-Saharan African T1D patients. We carried out a cross-sectional study including children and adolescents from seven different centers of the Changing Diabetes in Children (CDi...
