Objective: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is one of the most common chronic endocrine diseases encountered in childhood and adolescent periods. This study aims to assess the biochemical and epidemiological characteristics of children monitored for T1DM diagnosis in Ordu. Methods: This study investigated some biochemical and epidemiological characteristics of a total of 40 (20 boys, 20 girls) children ranging in age from 3 to 16 years with first diagnosis and follow-up at Ordu University Faculty of Medicine Education and Research Hospital Pediatric Health and Diseases Department from 2012 to 2016. Children participating in the study were divided into 2 groups as aged 3-9 years and 10-16 years. Group I included children aged from 3-9 years, while Group II included children aged from 10-16 years. The distribution according to gender and peak age for first diagnosis were examined. The study retrospectively investigated the fasting plasma glucose, HbA1C, AST, ALT, Na, K, Cl, triglyceride, cholesterol, BUN, creatinine, white cells, hemoglobin, urine pH, urine density, urine glucose, blood pH and HCO3 values of pediatric patients applying for the first time and receiving diagnosis of T1DM. Results: Our patients included 20 girls (50%) and 20 boys (50%). The lowest diabetes age was 3 years with highest 16 years. According to age distribution of patients, the peak age of disease was 11 years (22.5%) and there were 17 patients (42.5%) in the 3-9 age group and 23 (57.5%) in the 10-16 age group. When biochemical parameters are compared in terms of gender, the TG value in girls (104.9 ± 42.9) was found to be statistically significantly high compared to the TG value for boys (68.3 ±17.2) (p<0.05). However, there was no other statistically significant difference identified for any other biochemical parameter in terms of gender. Conclusion: It is accepted that the incidence of T1DM is increasing globally and the age of diagnosis is falling. Early diagnosis and developing effective treatment of T1DM patients is very important in terms of preventing possible complications.
