Key Points

To evaluate the effect of carbohydrate counting on glycemic control in children with type 1 diabetes.
Children with type 1 diabetes practiced carbohydrate counting to enhance blood glucose monitoring and management.
Increased precision in carbohydrate counting led to a reduction in A1C levels among participants.

Abstract

Precision with carbohydrate counting and increased blood glucose monitoring were associated with lower A1C in children with type 1 diabetes.
