Background: Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is the standard treatment for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). However, many individuals are inadequately treated, with gaps in clinical dosing, guidelines, and tools to aid individual titration.
Methods: A systematic review identified research and guidelines on PERT dosing recommendations across conditions, systematically reviewing and synthesizing total PERT intake, meal/snack guidelines, and changes over time to provide an up-to-date look at the most common doses used in studies and guidelines.
Aims: To examine the associations between environmental determinants of health and blood pressure and whether age, sex, or race moderated the associations among 18,754 adolescents and adults from the type 1 diabetes (T1D) Exchange Clinic Registry.
Methods: We used multivariable linear regression. Environmental determinants included exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM, obtained from an integrated model), nitrogen dioxide (NO), noise and light pollution, and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI, a marker of green space) at the ZIP code level of residence.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the associations between perceived sleep quality and individual cardiovascular health (CVH) factors (A1C and body mass index [BMI]) and CVH behaviors (physical activity and dietary diabetes self-management) in young adults ages 18 to 25 years with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods: Associations among perceived sleep quality and CVH factors and behaviors were examined using multivariable linear regression in 69 participants ages 18 to 25 years (mean age 21.4 ± 2.
