Good glycemic control at puberty in boys with type 1 diabetes is important for final height
Background Poor glycemic control in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) may hinder sexual development and the associated growth spurt. This study aims to identify factors that may affect the timing of puberty, total pubertal growth (TPG), and final height (F‐Ht) in boys with T1D. Methods This was a...

Summary: | Background
Poor glycemic control in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) may hinder sexual development and the associated growth spurt. This study aims to identify factors that may affect the timing of puberty, total pubertal growth (TPG), and final height (F‐Ht) in boys with T1D.
Methods
This was a retrospective longitudinal study of 68 boys diagnosed with T1D during 1996 to 2009, who were prepubertal at diagnosis and had completed puberty at the time of data collection. Data were accessed regarding anthropometric measurements, Tanner stage, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels from diagnosis to F‐Ht. F‐Ht was compared to parental height and Israeli National Health Survey data.
Results
The mean F‐Ht standard deviation score (F‐Ht‐SDS) was lower than the mean Ht‐SDS at diagnosis (P |
