Abstract
Background:
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is becoming an increasingly common and significant health problem in children and adolescents worldwide. T2DM is responsible for almost 95% of diabetes cases. Generally, T2DM is diagnosed during adulthood, but recently the increasing incidence of childhood is related to the global rise in the prevalence of overweight and obesity. In Kuwait, 50% of the diagnosed children have a positive family history of T2DM. Approximately 50% of Kuwaiti adolescents aged 10 to 19 were considered overweight or obese. With,46.8% of girls and 55.8% of boys overweight or obese in Kuwaiti children and adolescents.
Objectives:
1. To evaluate the effectiveness of school nurse-led educational program in preventing T2DM among adolescents
2. To identify prediabetes and T2DM among adolescents
3. To compare outcomes measurements (HbA1c, FBG, BMI,waist circumference) between genders
Methods:
This Clinical trial will test whether the Let’s Go “5-2-1-0” program as an intervention for the prevention of T2DM among adolescents would have a greater impact on HbA1c level and other outcomes than the control group. This Clinical trial focuses on schools as the study setting and uses school nurses to deliver the educational program. Conclusion: Schools play a vital role in delivering the early educational intervention, as this is where children and adolescents can be reached. However, no current clinical trial specifically identified children and adolescents at high risk of T2DM by using the American Diabetes Association's screening guidelines and testing the Let’s Go “5-2-1-0” program as an intervention for the prevention of T2DM.
