Association of executive function problems and disordered eating behaviours in teens with type 1 diabetes.

Aim: To explore cross-sectional associations between executive function problems and disordered eating behaviours in teens with type 1 diabetes.

Methods: Executive function was assessed by the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF), self-report and parent proxy-report versions. Scores ≥60 (on Global Executive Composite, Behavioral Regulation Index, Metacognition Index or clinical scales) indicated problems with executive function.

Text Message Intervention for Teens with Type 1 Diabetes Preserves HbA1c: Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial.

: Teens with type 1 diabetes (T1D) often struggle with diabetes self-management, which may lead to suboptimal self-care and worsening hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Innovative strategies are needed to improve self-care and protect against glycemic decline, especially during adolescence. We aimed to assess the impact on HbA1c of two interventions, problem-solving and text messaging, in teens with T1D.

Baseline Psychosocial Characteristics Predict Frequency of Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Youth with Type 1 Diabetes.

Background: Consistent use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has been associated with improved glycemic control in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). There are many barriers to device uptake and continued use. There is a need to understand patient-specific characteristics when considering CGM.

Management of Hypoglycemia in Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Hypoglycemia and fear of hypoglycemia limit appropriate glycemic control in many children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Traditional approaches to the prevention of hypoglycemia including patient education about modifiable risk factors for hypoglycemia (changes in insulin, diet, and exercise) and frequency of self glucose monitoring remain important for hypoglycemia prevention. Continuous glucose monitoring systems with or without a partial closed-loop control of insulin infusion have been very useful in the prevention of hypoglycemia.
