Perioperative maintenance of hybrid closed loop insulin pump systems in youth with type 1 diabetes mellitus: A case series.

Current guidelines support the use of continuous glucose monitoring devices and insulin pumps in minor surgical procedures for pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. However, there are few reported cases of using hybrid closed loop technology in the perioperative period. This retrospective case series presents seven pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes who underwent eight surgical procedures with maintenance of hybrid closed loop systems.

Short-term use of CGM in youth onset type 2 diabetes is associated with behavioral modifications.

Background: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is beneficial to glycemic control in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, studies in youth with T2D are limited.

Objective: Determine if 10-day trial CGM use in youth with T2D improves glycemic control and behavioral modifications.

Methods: Youth with T2D > 3 months, on insulin, with no prior CGM use were enrolled.

Worsening glycemic control in youth with type 2 diabetes during COVID-19.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected minority and lower socioeconomic populations, who also have higher rates of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The impact of virtual school, decreased activity level, and worsening food insecurity on pediatric T2D is unknown. The goal of this study was to evaluate weight trends and glycemic control in youth with existing T2D during the COVID-19 pandemic.
