Brief summary

This study assesses carbohydrate counting knowledge and its impact on glycemic control among Sohag University students with type 1 diabetes mellitus. A structured educational intervention will be delivered, followed by reassessment after three months.

Detailed description

This interventional study targets undergraduate students diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus at Sohag University. Baseline data will include demographic characteristics, diabetes-related history, carbohydrate counting knowledge assessed using the PedCarbQuiz, and glycemic control parameters including HbA1c. Participants will receive a structured educational session focusing on carbohydrate counting principles and insulin dose adjustment. Educational booklets will be provided. After three months, carbohydrate counting knowledge and glycemic control will be reassessed to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention.
