The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness of a modified training program in achieving target glycemic levels in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus on insulin pump therapy. <em><strong>Material and methods.</strong></em> The training was carried out at the “School of type 1 diabetes mellitus” at the Children’s Clinical Hospital No. 2 in Almaty on an outpatient basis for five days. During the training, a modified program was used, which included all training sections. The survey enrolled 125 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus, 68 of them were included in the group of a modified educational program, who studied annually at the “School of type 1 diabetes mellitus”. The group without training (controls) consisted of 57 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus, who were trained at the “School of type 1 diabetes mellitus” by the traditional method. All subjects were tested on the basis of a questionnaire, which included 30 key questions on self-control of insulin pump therapy and bread units before and after training. <em><strong>Results.</strong></em> Sixty-eight patients with a modified training program were divided into two subgroups depending on the method of assessing glycemia. The compensation was evaluated by determining the le­vel of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Target therapy levels were better in the modified learning groups than in the control group, which confirms the greater role of motivated parents in the control of type 1 diabetes mellitus, with frequent blood glucose measurements on FreeStyle Libre sensors. <em><strong>Conclusions.</strong></em> The creation of a modified structured training program for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, taking into account individual characteristics, as well as cultu­ral and national traditions, is relevant and timely.</p> ER -
