Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured educational program on glycemic control among Arab adolescents with type 1 diabetes aged 11 to 14 years.
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The intervention group will receive the structured education program, and the control group will continue with standard care.
All participants will undergo assessments that include:
* collecting demographic and diabetes management data
* measuring weight and height
* measuring HbA1c levels and lipid profile
* filling out questionnaires on quality of life, carbohydrate and insulin dosing knowledge, physical activity
* collecting dietary intake
* providing AGP report
Participants in the intervention group will additionally be required to:
* attend the program for 4 consecutive days, one day for parents and three days for children
* fill out 3-day food diary records during the program
* attend a refresher course after 6 months
Participants in the control group will have the opportunity to participate in the program after approximately six months.

No interventions assigned to this group
Intervention arm
Participants will attend a structured education program over 4 days and a refresher course after 6 months.
Structured education program
A structured group educational program culturally adapted from a UK model for adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The program aims to empower adolescents by providing knowledge and tools needed for effective diabetes management.
It is delivered by dietitians, diabetes educators, and a pediatric endocrinologist in small groups. The curriculum targets both caregivers and adolescents: the first day is for parents and covers diabetes basics, management of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, insulin dosing, sick day management, and exercise considerations. The following three days focus on adolescents and include interactive sessions on the role of food in diabetes management, the effect of different nutrients on blood glucose levels, carbohydrate sources, reading food labels, advanced carbohydrate counting, and insulin dose adjustment.
