Before 2016, no child was known to survive type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Laos, a lower‐middle income country (LMIC) in South‐east Asia. In partnership with the Laos government, a non‐government organization (NGO) called Action4Diabetes (A4D) has since been providing insulin, blood glucose monitoring kits, HbA1c testing, and emergency hospital expenses for Laotian children and young people (CYP) with T1D, and education for healthcare professionals. Here, we report the demographics and clinical outcomes of the CYP with T1D enrolled in A4D's Clinic Support Programme.
