Qatar Diabetes Chief on children's blood sugar levels
The Qatar Diabetes Association has emphasized the importance of using continuous glucose monitoring devices for children with persistent high or fluctuating blood sugar levels. These devices enable 24-hour glucose measurement and provide readings every five minutes, helping to evaluate and maintain the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) within the permissible limit of less than 6%. Such devices assist children in leading a normal life and facilitate blood sugar monitoring during school activities in cooperation with school clinics. The association relies on medical standards to identify eligible children and conducts medical reports to demonstrate the need for the device. The distribution of these devices is coordinated through partnerships with Sitra Medical Institution and Zakat Bank, aiming to improve diabetes management among children and reduce the risk of complications.
