Numeracy skills and glycemic control in an observational, multi-centre, cross-sectional, and international study of children with Type 1 Diabetes
Numeracy, as assessed by an international general math test, is a good predictor of HbA1c in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The basic and short WMT is a potentially effective tool in personalized clinical pediatric diabetes practice. Therapy planning should consider adjusting therapy to compensate for lower numeracy skills and/or training to improve the patient's numerical proficiency.
