| dc.description.abstract | Background. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in children is a significant health
issue in Indonesia, with an increasing prevalence. This condition results from the
destruction of pancreatic beta cells, leading to insulin deficiency. Children with
T1DM often present clinical symptoms such as polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia,
and drastic weight loss. Without prompt treatment, severe complications such as
diabetic ketoacidosis may occur. The management of T1DM involves insulin
injections, blood glucose monitoring, dietary regulation, exercise, and education.
However, many children in Indonesia remain undiagnosed or inadequately treated.
Objective. This study aims to identify and analyze the clinical manifestations and
management approaches for T1DM in children based on a systematic literature
review. Methods. A systematic literature review method was used in this study, with
literature sourced from databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar. Inclusion
criteria encompassed studies relevant to the clinical characteristics and
management of T1DM in children, published within the last five years. Results.
Four journals meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The findings revealed
that the primary clinical symptoms of T1DM in children include polyuria,
polydipsia, polyphagia, and weight loss. Early detection is often hindered by a lack
of awareness among the community and healthcare professionals. Management
strategies involve a combination of intensive insulin therapy, patient and family
education, and a multidisciplinary approach to support adherence to diabetes
management. Conclusion. This review highlights the importance of increasing
public awareness and training healthcare professionals for early detection of
T1DM in children. Implementing a multidisciplinary approach in T1DM
management can improve patients' quality of life. These findings are expected to
serve as a foundation for improving health policies related to T1DM management
in children in Indonesia. | en_US |
