Brief summary

The purpose of this project is to assess the introduction of an individual follow-up distance coaching (phone and messages on a secure line platform) in order to optimize the health care of type 1 diabetes children with therapy adjustment difficulties. It is a personalized, multi-disciplinary, medical et paramedical. It will consist of an individual coaching for the children and families with therapy adjustment difficulties. The hypothesis is that the proposed coaching would allow to improve the patient glycemic control not only during this coaching, but also, to bring long lasting improvement following the coaching.

Interventions

coaching on the phone or with messages on line twice a month in order to help patients to adjust their insulin doses and fill in their self-assessment test.

OTHERStandard care
