About this study

This interventional study targets undergraduate students diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus at Sohag University. Baseline data will include demographic characteristics, diabetes-related history, carbohydrate counting knowledge assessed using the PedCarbQuiz, and glycemic control parameters including HbA1c.

Participants will receive a structured educational session focusing on carbohydrate counting principles and insulin dose adjustment. Educational booklets will be provided. After three months, carbohydrate counting knowledge and glycemic control will be reassessed to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention.
