Purpose: The use of open-source automated insulin delivery systems (OS-AIDs), for the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D), has increased over recent years in all age groups. Real-life data has demonstrated the safety and efficacy of these systems, however, studies in the pediatric population remain limited. In this study, we aimed to examine the effect of transition to an OS-AIDs on glycemic parameters, and on several aspects related to quality of life.

Objective: To compare various aspects of diabetes control among youth with T1DM, between those with and without ADHD.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study of youth with T1DM, 39 had ADHD (mean age 14.
Aims: Children with chronic diseases were unable to receive their usual care during COVID-19 lockdown. We assessed the feasibility and impact of telehealth visits on the time-in-range (TIR) of paediatric individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods: An observational multicentre real-life study.
Aims: Billions of people have been under lockdown in an attempt to prevent COVID-19 spread. Lifestyle changes during lockdown could lead to deterioration of glycemic control in type 1 diabetes (T1D). We aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on the glycemic control of pediatric patients with T1D.

Methods: 74 T1D patients on insulin pumps for at least 1 year (mean 19.5 [11.
Background: Disordered eating behaviors (DEBs) may lead to full blown eating disorders. Both type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and celiac disease (CD) have been linked to DEBs.
Objective: To compare the presence of DEBs between adolescents and young adults with a dual diagnosis of T1DM and CD, and individuals with only one of the diagnoses.
Background: Sexual lifestyles including sexual activity, problems, satisfaction, and the formation and maintenance of relationships are greatly affected by physical health. Data are limited regarding the sexual lifestyle of adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).
