Description
Solmaz Heidari and co-authors ask what shapes quality of life for children and teenagers with type 1 diabetes in southwest Iran, in a 2026 study. At a hospital in Ahvaz, 234 patients aged 5 to 16 and their parents filled standard quality-of-life surveys, generic and diabetes-specific.
Children rated school functioning lowest and physical functioning highest. Parents scored their children's lives lower than the children did in every domain. Boys outscored girls nearly everywhere, and younger children outscored adolescents. Unhealthy habits were common: a third skipped breakfast or sat inactive, and over two-fifths ate fast food weekly. Only a quarter counted carbohydrates consistently. Being male, active, and counting carbs each independently predicted higher scores. The authors urge routine checks and family-centered support.
