Modifiable lifestyle risk factors for overweight and obesity in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes: A systematic review.

This review aims to identify and report epidemiological associations between modifiable lifestyle risk factors for overweight or obesity in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). A systematic literature search of medical databases from 1990 to 2023 was undertaken. Inclusion criteria were observational studies reporting on associations between dietary factors, disordered eating, physical activity, sedentary and sleep behaviours and measures of adiposity in children and adolescents (<18 years) with T1D.

Healthy weight and overweight adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus do not meet recommendations for daily physical activity and sleep.

Aims: Physical activity (PA) plays an important role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) who are at increased risk. Our aim was to determine levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary behaviour and sleep in adolescents with T1DM, and identify barriers to PA.

Methods: Participants aged 12-18 with T1DM wore an accelerometer and continuous glucose monitor for 24 h over 7-days.

Adolescents with type 1 diabetes can achieve glycemic targets on intensive insulin therapy without excessive weight gain.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare glycemic control and body mass index standard deviation score (BMI-SDS) before and after implementation of intensive insulin therapy using multiple daily injection (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) attending a large multidisciplinary paediatric diabetes clinic in Australia.

Methods: Prospective data were collected for cross-sectional comparison of youth aged 10.0-17.
