The impact of COVID-19 lockdown on glycaemic control and use of health services among children followed at a Danish diabetes clinic.

Compared to 2019, overall the COVID-19 restrictions did not influence the glycaemic control negatively. However, patients with pre-lockdown HbA1c < 52 mmol/mol experienced a deterioration, whereas those with HbA1c > 59 mmol/mol experienced an improvement. Less stress and more contact with parents may contribute to the last-mentioned finding. The lockdown enforced more virtual contacts between patients and the clinic.
