Psychological treatments improve glycaemic control in children
Psychological treatments improve glycaemic control in children and adolescents with diabetes
A meta-analysis of 21 randomised trials by Winkley and colleagues (p 65) finds weak but significant evidence that psychological treatments improve glycaemic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, and no evidence of an effect in adults. In the 10 studies of children and adolescents, the pooled absolute reduction in glycated haemoglobin was 0.5% in those who had received a psychological intervention. The success of psychological interventions in children may be explained by higher levels of psychological distress in children with diabetes and their families., http://www.100md.com
