Researchers at a hospital in Bologna, Italy are studying children and teenagers who were newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes between 2014 and 2018. They want to understand which clinical signs and lab results at the time of diagnosis can predict how much insulin a young person will need right away and one year later. This information could help doctors better understand and predict insulin needs when children are first diagnosed.
When children are first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, doctors need to know how much insulin to give them. This study aims to find patterns in patients' symptoms and blood work that might help predict insulin needs from the start, so treatment can be tailored more precisely for each child.

This is a retrospective study, which means researchers will review medical records from patients who were already diagnosed and treated at the hospital. If you qualify, the research team will collect information about your symptoms, lab results, and insulin needs from your diagnosis and from your one-year follow-up visit. You won't need to come in for extra visits or take any new medications—the study is based entirely on information already in your medical records.
