Summary

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an intervention involving parental training in behaviour management and medication in children with both Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADHD). ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects around 5% of school-age children and adolescents, while T1D is a chronic disease requiring strict management. After initial parental training provided for parents/legal guardians, the children will be randomized to one of two cross-over groups, and treated with either lisdexamfetamine or methylphenidate first. After dose optimization for first 5-7 weeks, patients will be treated for 6 months total, after which they will be switched to the other drug. Researchers will then compare the ADHD symptom severity as measured by Conners 3 questionnaire, and compare the frequency of any adverse events associated with the therapy. As secondary outcomes, patient's T1D control and quality of life will be compared between the two drugs.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study in Poland is comparing two ADHD medications — lisdexamfetamine and methylphenidate — in children and teenagers who have both Type 1 diabetes and ADHD, to see which medication manages ADHD symptoms more effectively while maintaining safe blood sugar levels. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 8 to 16.5 years old with a confirmed diagnosis of both Type 1 diabetes (for at least 12 months) and ADHD - Your blood sugar is managed with intensive insulin therapy - You have Polish citizenship and health insurance **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your blood sugar is currently very poorly controlled (average HbA1c over 12% in the past year) - Your diabetes is in partial remission (very low insulin dose with near-normal blood sugar) - You have another mental health condition such as bipolar disorder, psychosis, or active substance abuse - You have significant cardiovascular disease, epilepsy, or a family history of sudden cardiac death - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You are allergic to methylphenidate or lisdexamfetamine Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
