Article Synopsis
- * Hypoglycemia continues to be a major concern for those using insulin therapy, prompting the need for evidence-based recommendations for its recognition, treatment, and management among pediatric diabetologists.
- * The guidelines suggest raising blood glucose levels above 70 mg/dL using oral glucose, with specific dosages tailored for different treatment settings, and they include practical flow charts to assist in clinical decision-making, aiming for a global applicability.
Aims: To analyze metabolic outcomes, diabetes impact and device satisfaction in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes in Italy who used different treatment modalities for diabetes care in a real-life context.
Methods: In this multicenter, nationwide, cross-sectional study, 1464 participants were enrolled at a routine visit. The following treatment modalities were considered MDI + SMBG; MDI + CGM; Sensor Augmented Pump Therapy; predictive management of low glucose; Hybrid Closed Loop (HCL); Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop (AHCL).
Context: In the last decade the Sanger method of DNA sequencing has been replaced by next-generation sequencing (NGS). NGS is valuable in conditions characterized by high genetic heterogeneity such as neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM).
Objective: To compare results of genetic analysis of patients with NDM and congenital severe insulin resistance (c.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated how continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) affects quality of life (QoL) for young people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their caregivers, focusing on the relationship between CGM satisfaction and QoL.
- Researchers used a cross-sectional approach, analyzing responses from 210 youths with T1D and their parents through specific questionnaires that measure QoL and CGM satisfaction.
- Results indicated that higher satisfaction with CGMs correlated with better QoL across all dimensions, suggesting that enhancing CGM experiences could improve well-being for youths with T1D, regardless of the treatment method used.
