To evaluate changes in glycemic control during a 2-wk diabetes summer camp program, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (GHb), and glycosylated serum protein ( GSP ) levels were measured in a group of 36 children at the beginning and end of camp. Average FPG and GHb were unchanged during the 2-wk period, but the average decrease in GSP (7%) was significant (P less than 0.005). The results of this study indicate that a measurable improvement in diabetic control occurred in some children during the 2-wk summer camp program.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
