Aims: Fear of hypoglycaemia (FOH) can contribute to impaired sleep for adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and parents of children with T1D, although it is unknown how FOH may affect sleep for adolescents with T1D. This study examines the relationship between adolescent FOH and sleep and assessed the influences of continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and insulin pump use.
Methods: Adolescents ages 14-18 years with T1D completed questionnaires evaluating FOH (Child Hypoglycemia Fear Survey) and sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, PSQI).
This multicenter qualitative study described the roles of 10 pediatric community health workers (CHWs) in their own words through exploration of the role features, successes, and challenges in pediatric health care settings across three urban U.S. cities (Philadelphia, New York City, and Cincinnati).

In this study, we describe social determinants of health (SDOH) in high-risk children with T1D, as well as their SDOH-related priority goals, and assess the correlation between SDOH, glycemic control and health-care utilization.
Methods: Caregivers of children aged 4 to 18 years with a diagnosis of T1D of >1 year, poor glycemic control (glycated hemoglobin [A1C] ≥9.
Antagonism of the mGluR2 receptor has the potential to provide therapeutic benefit to cognitive disorders by elevating synaptic glutamate, the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. Selective antagonism of the mGluR2 receptor, however, has so far been elusive, given the very high homology of this receptor with mGluR3, particularly at the orthosteric binding site. Given that inhibition of mGluR3 has been implicated in undesired effects, we sought to identify selective mGluR2 negative allosteric modulators.
