Awareness, Frequency and prevalence of DKA with D.M. type 1 children in Al-Jouf Region
Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a developing worldwide wellbeing concern. In 2000, diabetes affected an expected 171 million individual’s world-wide; moreover, by 2011 this had expanded to more than 366 million and numbers are relied upon to surpass 552 million by 2030. Objective: The present study aimed at increasing the awareness and prevents the complications of diabetes mellites type 1 in children. Methodology: The current study was a cross-sectional community-based study of a qualitative and quantitative approach. Our study enrolled 80 candidates, from both gender. Participants were subjected to controlled self-administered close-ended study questionnaire all through the period between July to August 2018; and one month for data analysis. Our current data were taken from Al-jouf population in Saudi Arabia. Results: (58; 72.5%) of the participants were having children with diabetes; where only 22; (27%) of them were not having children with diabetes. Moreover, 60; 75% were answered that they have only one child with diabetes, while (14; 17.5%) answered that they have two children and the lowest rate was for the third group who answered that they have more than three children (6; 7.5%). Furthermore, the age ranges of the diabetic children were (1-5 years old) with proportions of (14; 17.5%), (6-10 years old) with (28; 35%), and the highest range was (11+ years old) with (38; 47.5%). Conclusion and Recommendation: the current study sheds light on a global and nationwide health problem that affects children in the first stage of life which is diabetes type1. It has a high rate in urban communities. The findings of the present study highlighted the need of raising and improving the awareness through educational programs about management of self-care to prevent and/or reduce the increasing numbers of children patients with DM1.
