Patients and methods: This was a case control study conducted on 177 T1D young children (> 8 to <12 years). HRQOL was assessed by DAWN Youth Quality of Life Tool-Arabic version.Results: The median age of onset of diabetes was 7.14years. Children controlled diabetes showed significant lower HRQOL scores compared to non-controls as total score (p= 0.032), impact of symptoms relating to diabetes (p= 0.006), impact on activates (p= 0.020), and Impact on health perception (p= 0.001) There was a negative correlation between frequency of hospital admission due to DKA (r= 0.16, P=0.034) and due to hyperglycemia(r= 0.21, P=0.006). Conclusion: glycemic control significantly affects HRQOL especially regarding symptoms relating to activates, and health perception ER -
