Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Intensive structured education group
Regular outpatient visit in every 3 months to these patients. The glucose control and diabetes complication screening will be evaluated in visit. Patients will also be evaluated by specialized psychologists, dietitians and therapists. Diabetes self-management education will be regularly exposed to patients
The structured education is based on a regular outpatients visit.It is an education that integrated several diabetes related subjects,which mainly aimed at T1D self-management.
Conventional education group
Outpatients visit to endocrinologists when necessary in a conventional way.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effects of structured education on β-cell endocrine function progression of T1D patients.
Time Frame: Baseline and every three months afterwards.

The natural progression of patients' β-cell endocrine functions was assessed by fasting C-peptide (FCP) and postprandial C-peptide (PCP) at each visit. FCP and PCP levels were measured at initial recruitment and every three months after that. The decay rate of β-cell endocrine function of patients in the two groups were compared.

Serum C-peptide levels were measured by a chemiluminescence method using a commercial available kit (Adiva Centaur System, Siemens, Germany).

Baseline and every three months afterwards.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effects of structured education on blood sugar control.
Time Frame: Baseline and every three months afterwards.
Patients' daily insulin dosage (U/Day) were collected at initial recruitment and each visit afterwards. And the above mentioned parameters in group 1(patients with structured education) and group2(patients without structured education) were compared.
Baseline and every three months afterwards.
Effects of structured education on blood sugar control.
Time Frame: Baseline and every three months afterwards.
Patients' blood sugar levels were collected at initial recruitment and each visit afterwards. And the above mentioned parameters in group 1(patients with structured education) and group2(patients without structured education) were compared.
Baseline and every three months afterwards.
Effects of structured education on blood sugar control.
Time Frame: Baseline and every three months afterwards.
Patients' HbA1c levels were collected at initial recruitment and each visit afterwards. And the above mentioned parameters in group 1(patients with structured education) and group2(patients without structured education) were compared.HbA1c concentration was tested by the Bio-Red Variant automatic measurement system.
Baseline and every three months afterwards.
Effects of structured education on metabolic control.
Time Frame: Baseline and every three months afterwards.
Patients' body mass index (BMI) levels were collected at initial recruitment and each visit afterwards. And the above mentioned parameters in group 1(patients with structured education) and group2(patients without structured education) were compared.
Baseline and every three months afterwards.
Effects of structured education on metabolic control.
Time Frame: Baseline and every three months afterwards.
Patients' systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) levels were collected at initial recruitment and each visit afterwards. And the above mentioned parameters in group 1(patients with structured education) and group2(patients without structured education) were compared.
Baseline and every three months afterwards.
Effects of structured education on metabolic control.
Time Frame: Baseline and every three months afterwards.
Patients' triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) levels were collected at initial recruitment and each visit afterwards. And the above mentioned parameters in group 1(patients with structured education) and group2(patients without structured education) were compared.
Baseline and every three months afterwards.
