Introduction: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the leading cause of mortality among youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Guidelines for DKA prevention exist; however, specific guidance about when to check ketones and how to manage youth using insulin pumps and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems is lacking.
Methods: A 35-item online survey exploring clinical ketone management practices for youth with T1D in the USA was distributed to diabetes healthcare professionals (HCPs).
Background: Adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes have high HbA1c levels and often struggle with self-management behaviors and attention to diabetes care. Hybrid closed-loop systems (HCL) like the t:slim X2 with Control-IQ technology (Control-IQ) can help improve glycemic control. The purpose of this study is to assess adolescents' situational awareness of their glucose control and engagement with the Control-IQ system to determine significant factors in daily glycemic control.
