N2  - While insulin remains the cornerstone therapy for managing blood glucose in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), consistent adherence to this treatment has proven challenging over time. As a result, educational strategies have gained attention as a means to promote better compliance with insulin regimens, ultimately supporting more stable glycemic levels in pediatric T1DM patients. This review examined the scope of existing educational interventions and their outcomes in the management of T1DM among children and adolescents. Using the scoping review model proposed by Arksey and O’Malley, publications from 2000 to 2021 were systematically identified and evaluated to account for the wide range of study designs, intervention types, and participant demographics. After a rigorous selection process, 49 studies were selected from an initial pool of 5015. A significant number of these interventions were delivered through multidisciplinary approaches and demonstrated a reduction in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), sometimes accompanied by other benefits. Overall, the review demonstrated that educational interventions yield positive effects on glycemic regulation in children and adolescents with T1DM. These programs not only contributed to lower HbA1c levels but also supported behavioral improvements, psychological well-being, overall health status, and better quality of life (QOL).
