Change in Score of Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 3.2 Diabetes Module (Peds QL 3.2) From Baseline to 3 Months

The PedsQL 3.2 Diabetes Module is composed of 33 items. Item scaling is a 5-point scale from 0 (never) to 4 (almost always). Items are reversed scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4=0. The total score is calculated as the sum of all items over the number of items answered on all the scales (total score ranges from 0-3300). Higher scores indicate lower problems. The change in total score is calculated by subtracting the total score at baseline from the total score at 3 months.

Change in Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Levels From Baseline to 3 Months

HbA1c measurements will be measured in the lab at the location of the patient's visit at baseline and 3 months. The measured HbA1c level at 3 months will be subtracted from the measured level at baseline to calculate the change.

Change in Level of Blood Sugar (Glucose) From Baseline to 3 Months

Blood sugar (glucose) will be measured via glucose monitors. The change in level of blood sugar will be calculated by subtracting the blood glucose level at 3 months from the blood glucose level at baseline.

Change in Score of Diabetes Empowerment Scale Short Form (DES-SF) From Baseline to 3 Months

There are 8 items that constitute the DES-SF. The scale is scored by averaging the scores of all completed items. 1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree. The change in score between baseline and 3 months will be calculated by subtracting the average score from 3 months from the baseline score.
