In Japanese children with type 1 diabetes, HbA1c is higher in the restroom group (8.56%) than in classroom (8.00%) or designated rooms (7.95%).
- Why it matters: School-based self-management varies by where care happens, but how location choice and age-related shifts relate to glycemic control is unclear.
- What they did: A multicenter cross-sectional analysis of 2018 registration data from 1,105 children in Japan compared HbA1c across care locations and tested associations with behaviors, treatment, age, and sex.
- The result: Restroom use and omitting prelunch blood glucose monitoring were independently linked to higher HbA1c, while pump use, continuous glucose monitoring, and male sex predicted more classroom use and less restroom use.
