Early Postnatal Use of Glibenclamide in Permanent Neonatal Diabetes Secondary to Antenatally Diagnosed KJCN11 Mutation.

Introduction: Heterozygous activating mutations in KCNJ11 cause both permanent and transient neonatal diabetes. A minority of patients also have neurological features. Early genetic diagnosis has important therapeutic implications as treatment with sulfonylurea provides good metabolic control and exerts a protective effect on neuromuscular function.

Safe and effective use of a hybrid closed-loop system from diagnosis in children under 18 months with type 1 diabetes.

The management of type 1 diabetes in infancy presents significant challenges. Hybrid closed loop systems have been shown to be effective in a research setting and are now available for clinical use. There are relatively little reported data regarding their safety and efficacy in a real world clinical setting.
