Survey of Australian general paediatricians regarding insulin initiation practices in children with new onset of type 1 diabetes.

Almost all Australian general paediatricians who completed the survey initiate intensive insulin therapy regimes with carbohydrate counting in newly diagnosed children with T1D, consistent with the 2018 evidence-based recommendations of the International Society of Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes. A substantial proportion of children with T1D within Australia are managed by general paediatricians who tend to align with international peak body guidelines.
