With the rising incidence of Type 1 diabetes (T1DM), it is important to recognize deficiencies in care and areas of improvement to provide better access to resources and education for T1DM patients. The objective of this study was to recognize social factors and compliance barriers affecting glycated hemoglobin (A1c) level in T1D patients among the minority population. ⋯ Frequent BS monitoring is associated with lower A1c. Supervision at home and school did not improve A1c, but it was self-reported information. Mood did not affect A1c contrary to that reported in other studies.
