Clinical and Laboratory Characteristics of a Population of Children and Adolescents With Newly Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes and Insulin Requirements at Onset

The primary aim of this observational, retrospective, single-centre, non-pharmacological study is to assess whether the presence of clinical and laboratory predictive factors at the onset of type 1 diabetes may be related to an increased insulin requirement in a population of pediatric and adolescent patients with diagnosis of type 1 diabetes between January 2014 and December 2018 at the Pediatrics Unit of the IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria of Bologna, Italy. The secondary aim is to assess the insulin requirement 1 year after the onset of type 1 diabetes. This study consists of collection and analyses of clinical and laboratory data of patients enrolled.
