Article Nutritional Experiences of Turkish University Students With Type 1 Diabetes: a Qualitative Study(Bmc, 2025) Ozkaya, Sebnem Ozgen; Ozkaya, Volkan; Gedikli, Erman; Garipagaoglu, Muazzez; Özgen Özkaya, ŞebnemBackgroundThis study was performed in order to describe the nutritional experiences of university students with Type 1 diabetes who try to carry on their educational and social lives together in diabetes self-management.MethodsIn this descriptive and qualitative study, face-to-face and semi-structured in-depth interviews were performed with 15 university students with Type 1 diabetes, aged 18-30, resided in Istanbul, who were diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at least 5 years ago. The data collection process was performed by the researchers. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. The data collected in accordance with the phenomenological approach were processed using guided content analysis.ResultsIn the interview with the participants, whose mean age was 21.86 +/- 2.03 years and 66.7% of those were female, 6 themes were listed as positive and negative experiences of students in diabetes management in the university environment, general nutritional preferences, nutritional attitudes in non-routine and social environments, regular nutrition and quality of campus life, nutrition during the exercise/sports period, university support and students' expectations from the environment and explained by their sub-dimensions.ConclusionThe change in living conditions with the transition to campus life, the new social environment, individualization and academic responsibilities make diabetes self-management a challenging, complex and supportive process. This study might guide the enhancement of university students' living conditions with diabetes.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Prevalence of Obesity in Prepubertal and Pubertal With Turkish Population Type 1 Diabetes(Springer Japan Kk, 2021) Ozkaya, Volkan; Eren, Erdal; Ozgen Ozkaya, Sebnem; Denkboy Ongen, YaseminTo determine the prevalence of prepubertal and pubertal obesity in children and adolescents with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1 DM). One hundred fifty children and adolescents aged 6-18 years with Type 1 DM who attended the Pediatric Endocrinology Polyclinic and were diagnosed with type 1 DM were included in the study. Tanner staging was used to estimate pubertal status. Age- and gender-specific body mass index (BMI) percentile between 85 and 95% was accepted as overweight and > 95% as obese. It was determined that the overweight prevalence rates in children and adolescents with type 1 DM were 13.3% and the obesity rate was 14.3%. It was found that while the overweight prevalence rates (14.1%) were higher in males, the obesity prevalence was higher in females (19.0%). The obesity prevalence rates at the prepubertal and pubertal stages were found to be 17.1% and 13.8%, respectively. The obesity prevalence at the pubertal stage was higher in girls (22.4%) than boys (3.9%) (p < 0.05). The rates both of overweight and obesity in boys decreased from prepubertal to pubertal periods, while those rates increased in girls. Our results indicated that the obesity prevalence in prepubertal and pubertal children and adolescents with type 1 DM was higher compared to healthy peers in the literature. The authors believe that the risk factors for obesity in this population should be determined and obesity-prevention programs for diabetes should be prepared.
