Epidemiological Profile of type 1 diabetes in Children: about 971 Patients

Abstract

In Africa, 80% of people with diabetes are not diagnosed in time [2]. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) remains by far the most common form of diabetes in children. The incidence of type I diabetes has steadily increased over the past two decades. This progression is particularly strong in younger children, leading to a rejuvenation of the age of discovery of diabetes and about 25% of diagnoses of type 1 diabetes are thus made in children under 5 years [3].
