Objective To evaluate the effect of a diabetes awareness campaign on the incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at the first presentation of type 1 diabetes in children (018 yr). Methods This study was a controlled population intervention study with a 2-yr baseline period and a 2-yr intervention period.
