The Relationship Between Long-Term Glycemic Control and Partial Remission in Type 1 Diabetes: A Retrospective Study

Abstract

Aim: Partial remission (PR) is a significant period in the early course of type 1 diabetes (T1D) with implications for diabetes management. We aimed to investigate whether long-term hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) outcomes in T1D differed as a result of experiencing PR. We also analyzed the demographic and clinical factors that may influence long-term glycemic control. Material and methods: We retrospectively tracked the HbA1c values of 131 children and adolescents with T1D over a 5-year period. Patients were stratified into low (
