Background: It is possible that treatment may not be successful, and the expenses of therapy may increase due to patients’ lack of knowledge and inappropriate conduct. Insufficient knowledge regarding the use of insulin can hinder its effectiveness and adherence. Therefore, it is crucial for diabetic patients to follow guidance on insulin management to ensure better outcomes. Objectives: to investigate the correlation between parents' knowledge of children with type I diabetes and their ability to properly administer insulin to their children in the outpatient diabetes clinic in Nasiriya City. Methodology: Aross-sectional study was conducted at the of Endocrinology and Diabetes in Nasiriyah, Iraq between October 4, 2022, and March 30, 2023. The study enrolled 180 children and adolescents diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The surveys were translated into formal Arabic and administered through face-to-face interviews and patient-caregiver. The knowledge phase 15 questions, while the final segment on taking insulin had five questions. Blood samples were collected from the patients to measure their fasting blood sugar and Glycated hemoglobin. The collected data underwent descriptive analysis using SPSS version 25 software. Results: A total of 180 children and adolescents with type I diabetes were part of the study. The patient's average age was (10.75 ±4.36) years, and they had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for an average of (6.24 ±3.70) years. Their fasting blood sugar level was out of control (208.42 ±95.0 mg/dl) and their HbA1c level was (9.90±2.85%). Most of the patients (52.2%) were female and had only completed kindergarten (43.3%). The majority of caregivers were parents or guardians who were either illiterate (30.6%) or had an elementary education (33.9%). Conclusions: The study concluded that most of the caregivers had poor behaviors and insufficient knowledge about insulin usage in type 1 diabetic patients.

“…the prevalence of diabetes has climbed to 7.4% in adults between the ages of 20 and 79 years. Also, the number of children with type 1 diabetes and the number of newly diagnosed cases of the disease in Algeria are both among the top ten in the world [1,8]. Even more alarming, recent national data from surveys conducted in different regions of Algeria showed that nearly 15% of adults of more than 18 years old are affected that is nearly 2.8 million patients.…”

Background: Diabetes is increasing significantly in the world especially among low and middle income countries including Algeria. It is ranked second in term of incidence in Algeria with about 2.8 million patients of more than 18 years old. Methods: This study was conducted aiming to evaluate the level of knowledge and lifestyle practice among Algerian university students. A national online based cross-sectional survey was conducted between 14 November 2022 and 11 February 2023 using a self administered questionnaire. Results: 417 students finally answered to the questionnaire. Demographically, females (82%), singles (86.1%), those aged between 20 and 30 years old (62.2%) and those living in urban areas (86.8%) were the most represented. More than half were students of bachelor level (52.3%) and were mainly studying Natural and Life Sciences (37.2%) and humanities (29.5%) and 10.6% of them declared living with diabetes. Overall, an acceptable average percentage of 75.1% correct responses was obtained traducing a score of 41.3+7.354/54 and 54.6% of the respondent have shown a high level of knowledge. If age, the field of study and father education were associated with high level of knowledge, Health Sciences students (OR: 10.175, CI 95%: 2.985-34.677) and diabetics (OR: 10.486, CI95%: 3.424-32.12) were so far highly significant factors. Regarding lifestyle practice, a medium level of good practice of 54.2% defining a score of 4.88+1.971/9 was obtained and the level of knowledge was the only associated factor. Conclusion: These results described that despite the medium to acceptable levels of knowledge and good practice some gaps exists especially among certain categories especially among students other than those of Health and Natural an Life Sciences. Results of this study could be helpful to the health program deciders in their campaigns of prevention against this silent disease.
