Abstract

Background Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an emerging disease worldwide. Glycemic control in pediatric T1DM patients is a challenge in diabetes management. Attending diabetic camp has been associated with improved glycemic control in diabetic children and adolescents.Objective To determine the effect of diabetic camp attendance on glycemic control in children and adolescents with T1DMMethods A cross-sectional, non-experimental study was done in December 2010 at a diabetic camp held in Bogor, Indonesia. The two-day camp educated diabetics about T1DM, including insulin use, meal planning, exercise, monitoring and complications. The diabetic camp was attended by 28 children and adolescents, consisting of 5 boys and 23 girls, aged 7 – 18 years. Eighteen participants completed the requested data for our study. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was measured before and 3 months after subjects attended the camp. Participants also filled the Pediatric quality of life (PedsQL) questionnaire. We compared HbA1c levels before camp and 3 months after, by Stata 19.Results Before camp, the mean HbA1c was 9.18% (SD 2.48) and 3 months after camp it was 8.67% (SD 1.62), a statistically significant improvement (P=0.004). The PedsQL revealed that none of the subjects had poor quality of life.Conclusion Glycemic control in T1DM children and adolescents was significantly improved 3 months after attending diabetic camp compared to that before attending camp. According to subjects’ self-assessment by PedsQL questionnaire, no subjects indicated a poor quality of life for the duration of their illness. [Paediatr Indones. 2011;51:294-7].

Abstract

In Indonesia report on the natural history of premature thelarche is very limited. Daily practice requires physicians to have some basic practical knowledge, among others the natural history of premature thelarche, in order to manage these patients properly. We reviewed data of 85 premature thelarche patients who visited our department from January 1989 until December 1998. Only 60 patients met the study criteria. The mean chronological age of the patients at diagnosis was 43.4 months. About half of these patients (31/60) were diagnosed before they were 2 years old. Half of the patients had bilateral breast involvement. The hormonal pattern showed 24/48 follicle stimulating hormone predominant-response. Most patients (33/47) showed normal plasma estradiol level. Bone age analysis was normal in 46/57 patients, and only 9 showed accelerated bone age. Pelvic ultrasonography showed prepubertal reproduction organs in 26/35. Vaginal smears showed signs of estrogenization with various degree of stimulation in 13 patients. At the end of observation the outcome of premature thelarche were: 31 regressed, 19 persisted, 6 had progressive breast development and 4 progressed to central precocious puberty. The initial clinical and laboratory characteristics of those who developed CPP varied. Among 31 premature thelarche patients who regressed, 21 had onset of breast enlargement before age of 2 years. In most of the regressed patients (20/31), regression occurred completely within the first year. Most premature thelarche patients with onset before 2 years will regress within one year after diagnosis.
