White Coat Adherence in Pediatric Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Who Use Insulin Pumps

Conclusions: Diabetes care providers need to be aware that white coat adherence may occur, particularly in young children.

For patients exhibiting white coat adherence, their data will overestimate the patient’s actual adherence.
