Amaç: Esnek insülin tedavisi, öğünlerin zamanı, yiyecek seçimi ve öğünlerdeki insülin dozunun karbonhidrat sayımı yaparak kişinin yaşam tarzına göre ayarlandığı yoğun insülin tedavisidir. Çalışmamızın amacı tip 1 diyabetli çocuklarda esnek insülin tedavisinin metabolik kontrole, antropometrik özelliklere ve sağlık parametrelerine etkilerinin incelenmesi ve tedaviye uyumun değerlendirilmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Esnek insülin tedavisini balayı dönemi sonrası en az 2 yıl süre kullanan tip 1 diyabetli 39 hastanın, dosya verileri retrospektif olarak incelendi. İki yıllık izlemde ortalama HbA1c düzeyi >%7.5 olan hastalar grup 1, ≤%7.5 olan hastalar grup 2 olarak tanımlandı. Her grubun 2 yıllık seyri değerlendirildi, gruplar karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: Hastaların ortanca diyabet süresi 52 (25-152) aydı. Grup 1’de 23 (%59) hasta, grup 2’de 16 (%41) hasta mevcuttu. Gruplar arasında diyabet süresi benzerdi(p>0.05). Grup 2’deki olguların, başlangıç HbA1c düzeyleri daha yüksekti (9.3 vs 11.6, p=0.046). Her iki grubun da tedavinin 1. yılında HbA1c düzeyinin azaldığı (p<0.05); tedavinin 2. yılında grup 2’nin iyi kontrollerini sürdürdükleri, ancak grup 1’de HbA1c düzeyinin arttığı saptandı (p<0.001).
Grup 2’deki hastaların boya göre vücut tartı yüzdeleri (%VKİ) tedavinin 2. yılında başlangıca göre artmakla beraber (p=0.031), idealdi. Grup 1’deki hastaların tedavi başlangıcına göre 2 yıllık izlem sonunda %VKİ’leri değişmedi (p>0.05). Her 2 gruptaki olgular da genetiği içinde büyüyen ve yıllık uzamaları normal olan olgulardı. Esnek tedavi alan tüm hastalar değerlendirildiğinde izlemin 2. yılında, ortalama insülin dozlarının arttığı saptandı (p=0). Grup 2’deki hastalar diyetine uyan (p=0.038), karbonhidrat sayımı yapan (p=0.025) ve daha az hazır yemek tüketen (p=0.018) hastalardı.
Gruplar arasında ciddi hipoglisemi ve diyabetik ketoasidoz sıklığı benzerdi(p>0.05). Grup 1’deki trigliserid, total kolesterol, LDL, VLDL düzeyleri grup 2’den yüksek, HDL düzeyi düşük olmasına rağmen, fark saptanmadı (p>0.05). Dislipidemi gelişen hastaların ortanca diyabet süresi, dislipidemi gelişmeyen hastalardan daha uzundu(p=0.018).
Sonuç: Esnek insülin tedavisi, sağlıklı beslenen ve etkili karbonhidrat sayımı yapan çocuklarda, %VKİ’inde anormal artış yapmadan HbA1c düzeyini ≤%7.5 düşürebilir.
Objective: Flexible insulin therapy is intensive insulin therapy where the time of meals, food selection, and the dose of insulin in meals are adjusted to the patient’s lifestyle by carbohydrate counting. The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of flexible insulin treatment on metabolic control, anthropometric properties and health parameters in children with type 1 diabetes and to evaluate compliance with treatment.
Material and Methods: Medical records of 39 children who used flexible insulin treatment at least 2 years after honeymoon period were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were grouped according to mean HbA1c as group 1 (HbA1c >7.5%) and group 2 (<7.5%). The 2-year follow-up of each group was evaluated, groups were compared.
Results: Median diabetes duration was 52 (25-152) months. Group 1 and 2 included 23 (59%) and 16 (41%) patients, respectively. Diabetes duration was similar (p>0.05). Group 2 had higher initial HbA1c levels (9.3 vs 11.6, p=0.046). HbA1c levels of both groups were decreased at first year (p<0.05). In the second year of treatment, group 2 maintained good glycemic control whereas group 1 had increased HbA1c level (p<0.001). Although mean relative weight index ( RWI) increased in the second year of treatment (p=0.031) in group 2, their mean RWI was ideal. RWI did not changed in group 1 after 2 year follow-up of treatment (p>0.05). All patients had normal growth according to their genetic potential. Mean insulin dose of patients was increased in second year (p=0). Compliance of diet (p=0.038), carbohydrate count (p=0.025) and less fast food consumption(p=0.018) were more common in group 2.
Conclusion: The frequency of severe hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidos were similar (p>0.05). Group 1 had higher triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL and lower HDL levels but not statistically significant (p>0.05). Patients with dyslipidemia had longer median diabetes duration than without dyslipidemia (p=0.018).

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 6 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
