Diabetes Education Program, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital has provided summer camps for Thai children with type 1 diabetes since 1990. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the diabetes camp in glycemic control. Twenty male and forty-two female patients participated in the 5-day diabetes camp held in Karnchanaburi, Thailand in 2003. The mean age was 14.1 +/- 4.3 years and the mean duration of disease was 4.5 +/- 3.5 years. Fifty out of sixty-two patients returned for a 3-month-postcamp visit. The glycemic control improved significantly. The mean precamp and postcamp HbA1c levels were 10.0 +/- 3.1% and 9.0 +/- 2.6% (p = 0.008) respectively. The diabetes camp is a valuable program for patients to learn diabetes-self management skills, especially in countries where the diabetes education programs are not always available.
诗里拉吉医院医学院糖尿病教育项目自1990年起为泰国1型糖尿病儿童举办夏令营。本研究的目的是评估糖尿病夏令营在血糖控制方面的效果。2003年，20名男性和42名女性患者参加了在泰国北碧府举办的为期5天的糖尿病夏令营。平均年龄为14.1±4.3岁，平均病程为4.5±3.5年。62名患者中有50名返回进行了夏令营后3个月的随访。血糖控制得到显著改善。夏令营前和夏令营后糖化血红蛋白（HbA1c）的平均水平分别为10.0±3.1%和9.0±2.6%（p = 0.008）。糖尿病夏令营是一个让患者学习糖尿病自我管理技能的宝贵项目，尤其是在那些糖尿病教育项目并非总能获得的国家。
