Continuous Glucose Monitoring Decreases Hypoglycemia Avoidance Behaviors, but Not Worry in Parents of Youth With New Onset Type 1 Diabetes.

Background: Existing research shows that hypoglycemia fear (HF) is common in parents of children with established type 1 diabetes (T1D). We examined parental HF in the T1D recent-onset period and evaluated whether continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) adoption relates to improved outcomes of parental HF.

Methods: In , a prospective study of five- to nine-year olds with recent-onset T1D, parents completed the Hypoglycemia Fear Survey-Parents (HFS-P) at baseline (T1) and 6 (T2) and 12 (T3) months post-baseline.

Stressful life events, parental psychosocial factors, and glycemic management in school-aged children during the 1 year follow-up of new-onset type 1 diabetes.

Objective: To monitor occurrence of stressful life events, assess correlations with family functioning and parental psychosocial measures, and examine the impact of stressful life events on diabetes management in the first year after diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children using a mixed methods design.

Methods: In a prospective study of 5- to 9-year-olds with recent-onset T1D (mean age 7.4 ± 1.

Prevalence, characteristics, and diabetes management in children with comorbid autism spectrum disorder and type 1 diabetes.

Objective: To determine autism spectrum disorder (ASD) prevalence within our pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D) clinic population and determine clinical characteristics and technology used by individuals with both ASD and T1D compared to matched controls with T1D alone and compared to our overall pediatric T1D clinic.

Methods: Medical chart review showed 30 individuals with both ASD and type 1 diabetes (ASD + T1D). Controls (n = 90) were matched for age, sex, race/ethnicity, and T1D duration.

Parental depression and diabetes-specific distress after the onset of type 1 diabetes in children.

Objective: To examine trajectories of two types of type 1 diabetes (T1D) specific distress (i.e., daily T1D management and worries about the future and long-term complications) and the moderating role of parental depression in parents of children newly diagnosed with T1D.
