Background: Despite the important implications of lipohypertrophy for diabetes control, there is a dearth of information and research about the subject in children. The aim of this study was to study the prevalence of lipohypertrophy in children with type 1 diabetes, and to evaluate the associated factors.
Findings: 119 children coming for regular follow up in the diabetes clinic were examined for the presence of lipohypertrophy by inspection and palpation.
