Insulin pump treatment in children aged 3.0 – 6.0 years in Bulgaria: Sustaining the optimal control
Insulin pump treatment in Bulgaria started in 2007. The results for the first 29 patients were satisfying but the following years showed deterioration in some patients. The country needed a team of educated nurses for pump treatment. The 6-months project aimed: To start pump treatment in 12 type 1 diabetes children, aged 3.0 to 6.0 years, attending a kindergarten /6 girls/ and to evaluate the change in the HbA1c, the proportion for basal/bolus dose and the ratio of insulin/body weight. To educate a team of diabetes nurses for the kindergarten
