Abstract

To determine the effect of glycemic control on linear growth in children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type 1, we studied 82 patients (40 male, 42 female) over a 6-year period. The mean +/-SD for age of onset and duration of IDDM were 7.3 +/- 3.9 years and 4.8 +/- 3.5 years, respectively. At each clinic visit, glycemic control was assessed by measuring glycosylated hemoglobin (GHb). For a total of 751 clinic visits, the mean +/- SD for chronologic age and GHb were 11.5 +/- 3.8 years and 10.2% +/- 2.3%, respectively. Good glycemic control was correlated with more frequent clinic visits (r= 0.219, P < 0.05). Growth was assessed by determining both weight and height, which were normalized for age and sex by calculating Z scores for weight and height and GHb. Moreover, regression analysis revealed no significant correlation between GHb levels and delta Z for either weight or height. While a significant correlation was observed between delta Z for weight and height (r = 0.30, P < 0.01), the relationship was not affected by glycemic control. Therefore, these data demonstrate that weight gain and growth rate do not seem to be significantly affected by glycemic control. This study also confirms that linear growth velocity is...Continue Reading
