Highlights1. Diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM) is a chronic autoimmune illness characterized by insulin insufficiency and hyperglycemia as a consequence.2. Stable HbA1c levels may be indicative of improved growth rates. AbstractBackground: Type-1 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic auto-immune disease characterized by insulin insufficiency and resultant hyperglycemia caused by the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Metabolic control in type-1 DM affects the metabolism of patients, one of which is growth status, which is influenced by growth hormone. Improved growth rates can indicate stable HbA1c levels. However, whether growth is affected by the degree of diabetic control is still debatable. Objective: This study was conducted to determine whether the metabolic control correlates with growth status of children with type-1 diabetes in the Endocrine Polyclinic at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. Material and Method: Retrospective observational analysis with a cross-sectional method was conducted on 96 type-1 DM patients at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya, Indonesia. The analysis was carried out using Chi-Square test to determine whether there was a correlation. Result: From a total of 96 pediatric patients, the majority was male (54.1%), patients with high-risk metabolic control were 79.2%, and those with z-score normal category were 62.5%. The results indicated no significant correlation between growth status and metabolic control of pediatric patients, with Chi-Square test results showed p=0.421 (p>0.05). Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between growth status and metabolic control of type-1 diabetes pediatric patients at the Endocrine Polyclinic Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia.

Lack of public compliance with the implementation of health protocol activities in daily life has resulted in increased cases of Covid-19 in Indonesia, so the government issued the latest policy regarding the health protocol, namely 6M, which consists of wearing masks, maintaining hand hygiene, maintaining distance, reducing mobility, staying away from crowds, and avoid eating together. This study aims to educate and make the public more aware of the importance of health protocols during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research used total sampling method. The target of the counseling was non-medical students in Surabaya who took part in Covid-19 educational counseling by filling out complete pre-test and post-test questions. The results obtained were an increase in the average score (17.26 points) on tests filled before and after the educational presentation of health protocols with a value of p<0.001 (p<0.05), and 34 of them showed higher post-test scores. From the data that obtained from 92 samples, there was an increase and significant difference in knowledge about 6M health protocols after an online educational presentation given to non-medical students in Surabaya as evidenced by the increase in average score between pre-test and post-test.
