Abstract

Diabetes camp has become a common part of medical practice worldwide. Although patients' knowledge and self-management of diabetes may improve after camp, improved glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels have not been consistently demonstrated. We performed a retrospective study of medical records at the Children's Medical Center Dallas Endocrinology Center for adolescents with type 1 diabetes aged 12-18 yr. We compared patients who did (n = 77) or did not (n = 106) attend Camp Sweeney, a regional 20-d diabetes camp. Some patients (n = 82) and their parents also completed measures of adherence, depression, and quality of life. HbA1c decreased over time in patients who attended diabetes camp {mean [+/-standard deviation (SD)] at baseline, (T1) = 8.6% (+/-1.8%) and at follow-up, (T2) = 8.3% (+/-1.6%)}, whereas it increased in those who did not attend [mean (+/-SD) at T1 = 8.4% (+/-2.1%) and at T2 = 8.9% (+/-2.3%)] (p < 0.005). Seven months after camp (T3), there were still significant differences in HbA1c between the camp and control groups (p = 0.04), with the difference because of persistent improvement for girls but not for boys. Patients' adherence (p < 0.05) and adjustment (p < 0.05) improved by parental report in those who a...Continue Reading
