This is the first reported paper on T1D diabetes management practices within the healthcare systems and glycaemic outcomes in SEA countries. Variations in multidisciplinary team support are shown and high DKA rates at diagnosis are reported in all the SEA countries. The average glycaemic index in the five SEA countries reviewed between 2020 to 2021 were 83mmol/mol (9.7%). Health systems in LMICs lack universality and in SEA countries where healthcare coverage for diabetes such as access to insulin and blood glucose monitoring kits either does not exist or is limited.

It has been presented at the International Society of Paediatric and Adolescent Diabetes ISPAD 2021 (oral presentation) and at the British Society of Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes Conference 2021.
