An Observational Crossover Study of People Using Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitors Versus Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose: Real-World Evidence Using Electronic Medical Record Data From More Than 12,000 People With Type 1 Diabetes.

Background: We used real-world electronic health record (EHR) data to examine HbA1c levels among children and adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who are classified as continuous glucose monitor (CGM) users after T1D diagnosis and switch to self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) during follow-up, versus people who opt for SMBG after T1D diagnosis and switch to CGM during follow-up visits.

Methods: We conducted an observational, case-crossover study using electronic medical record (EMR) data from the T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Collaborative. The primary outcome in this study was HbA1c.

Sharp Rise in New-Onset Pediatric Diabetes During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Introduction: Recent studies report a significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence, severity, and management of diabetes.

Objective: To determine the incidence of new onset pediatric diabetes prepandemic versus during the pandemic and to analyze the presentation based on age, severity, HbA1c, body mass index, and COVID testing.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of all pediatric patients admitted with newly diagnosed type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus admitted to the American Family Children's Hospital (Madison, Wisconsin) from 2018 through 2021.

Potential association between type 1 diabetes mellitus and gender dysphoria.

Background/objective: Multiple factors have been proposed to explain the increasing prevalence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), including psychological stress. The prevalence of gender dysphoria (GD) in youth is also growing. Identifying environmental triggers, such as psychological minority stress experienced by youth with GD, that may influence the pathogenesis and management of T1DM could have important clinical implications.
