Abstract
Previous studies have indicated that paediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus are presenting with more severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This study was performed to determine the effect that access to health care had on DKA severity and outcomes in children and young people (CYP) with new‐onset diabetes mellitus.
