Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Glycosylated hemoglobin level | 6 months | Serum glycosylated hemoglobin level was measured as a baseline, then 6 months after the intervention, to measure the mean difference between the two readings. |
| Quality of life | 6 months | Pediatric Quality of Life-Diabetes Module was used. The twenty-eight items in this multidimensional tool are categorized into five domains: treatment obstacles (four items), treatment adherence (seven items), concern (three items), and diabetic symptoms (eleven items).
