Article Synopsis
- New technologies for managing type 1 diabetes (T1D) in young children are growing, but there’s a lack of real-life studies focused on kids under 6 years old.
- The study aimed to investigate parental satisfaction with continuous and flash glucose monitoring devices for T1D in children, involving 114 parents who completed a questionnaire.
- Results showed 95% of parents were satisfied with the monitoring devices, with satisfaction linked to the device's reliability, though some parents reported challenges related to applying the devices and skin reactions.
Article Synopsis
- The transition from pediatric to adult diabetes care for individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a challenging phase that needs more understanding, focusing on the experiences and satisfaction of young adults in France.
- An online survey was conducted with 104 participants to gather insights about their transition experience, revealing that many faced significant diabetes management issues post-transition.
- Key factors for a successful transition included early interactions with adult care teams, allowing participants to choose their transition age, and maintaining good diabetes control before leaving pediatric care.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the long-term effects of using a hybrid closed loop (HCL) system on glucose levels and body mass index (BMI) in children with type 1 diabetes during puberty.* -
- Over 30 months, data showed that improvements in HbA1c levels were maintained and BMI scores remained stable in participants, with no severe hypoglycemic events and only one unrelated ketoacidosis case.* -
- Findings suggest that prolonged HCL usage can help manage glucose control during puberty without negatively affecting BMI in children with type 1 diabetes.*
Introduction: The prevalence of type 1 diabetes is increasing worldwide. The advent of new monitoring devices has enabled tighter glycemic control.
Aim: To study the impact of glucose monitoring devices on the everyday life of young children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their parents.
Familial Renal Glucosuria (FRG) is a co-dominantly inherited trait characterized by orthoglycaemic glucosuria. From 2003 to 2015 we have reported several cohorts validating SLC5A2 (16p11.2), encoding SGLT2 (Na+/glucose cotransporter family member 2), as the gene responsible for FRG.
