Introduction: Automatic insulin delivery (AID) systems improve glycemic control and quality of life in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Our aim was to assess the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of switching from a sensor-augmented pump (SAP) to AID in T1D subjects at high risk of hypoglycemia.
Materials And Methods: A manufacturer-led program consisting of three sessions was implemented.
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) on glycemic control throughout the menstrual cycle (MC) in women with type 1 diabetes. We included 39 pairs of spontaneous MCs from 13 participants, before and after switching from sensor-augmented pump to AHCL. Baseline time below range <70 mg/dL (TBR <70) was significantly higher during the midfollicular phase than during late luteal phase (5.

Methods: Retrospective case series of patients with oGVHD who underwent cataract surgery using a novel preoperative immunomodulatory regimen in a collaborative care setting. A preoperative regimen consisting of pooled human immune globulin 1%, autologous serum 50%, and methylprednisolone 1% eye drops was prescribed.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of reimbursed flash glucose monitoring (FGM) with alarms in reducing severe hypoglycemia (SH) and improving quality of life among Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) patients.
- Patients showed a significant decrease in SH events after one year, from 0.3 to 0.03 events on average, along with improved awareness of hypoglycemia.
- Although there were no significant reductions in time spent below certain glucose levels, better initial glycemic control contributed to reduced hypoglycemia risks.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) to see how their pregnancy and breastfeeding experiences affected severe low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) after having a baby.
- Researchers followed 89 women and found that 32% had trouble noticing when their blood sugar got too low early in their pregnancy; nearly all of them started breastfeeding.
- It turned out that having severe low blood sugar was common after childbirth, and it didn't really matter if the women were breastfeeding or not.
