Study aim
-
Application carbohydrate counting application on daily blood sugar control and glycosylated hemoglobin level in children with diabetes type 1
-
Design
-
A randomized clinical trial with a control group, parallel groups, and a blind strain, on 100 patients with type 2 diabetes. The rand function of Excel software was used for randomization.
-
Settings and conduct
-
This study will be conducted in Akbar Hospital in Mashhad. A sugar counting app will be installed for caregivers of control group patients. Before and three months after the intervention in both groups, FBG, 2hpp, and Hb A1C will be taken. The study analyst will be blinded.

Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion criteria: Parents who have a child with type 1 diabetes, Patients with type 2 diabetes for at least three months, The age of a child with diabetes is 1 to 18 years, Literacy for reading and writing, Having a Android smartphone and internet access

Intervention groups
-
Intervention group: In this group, an Android app will be installed for parents of children with type 1 diabetes. Parents will record the food consumed by the child during the day in the app. The app will automatically calculate the consumed carbohydrates and the insulin dose of the child (based on the doctor's prescription).Before and three months after installing and using the app, fasting blood glucose (FBG), Two-Hour Postprandial Glucose (2hpp), and Hg A1C will be measured.
Control group: There will be no intervention in this group. Only a notebook will be given to parents of children with diabetes to record insulin, FBG, 2hpp, and Hg A1C. In this group, before and three months after receiving the notebook, fasting FBG, 2hpp, and Hg A1C will be measured.
