Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to assess how common disordered eating behaviors (DEB) are among Australian adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and to explore their relationship with clinical factors, insulin pump therapy (IPT), continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data, and psychological traits.
- - Among 50 participants, 48% showed elevated DEB scores, with this group more likely to be female, have higher HbA1c and BMI Z-scores, and exhibit poorer glucose control compared to those without DEB.
- - The findings suggest DEB are prevalent in this population and linked to worse diabetes management, highlighting the need for regular screening since diabetes technology alone isn’t enough for identifying these behaviors.
Aim: To determine the glycaemic impact of an increased insulin dose, split insulin dose and regular insulin for a high fat, high protein breakfast in people with type 1 diabetes using multiple daily injections (≥4/day).
Methods: In this cross-over trial, participants received the same high fat, high protein breakfast (carbohydrate:30 g, fat:40 g, protein:50 g) for 4 days. Four different insulin strategies were randomly allocated and tested; 100% of the insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio (ICR) given in a single dose using aspart insulin (100Asp), 125% ICR given in a single dose using aspart (125Asp) or regular insulin (125Reg) and 125% ICR given in a split dose using aspart insulin (100:25Asp).
Background: Young children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) present unique challenges for intensive diabetes management. We describe an intensive diabetes program adapted for young children and compare glycemic control, anthropometry, dietary practices and insulin regimens before and after implementation.
Methods: Cross sectional data from children with T1D aged ≥0.
Introduction: Insulin pumps are able to deliver bolus insulin as a standard, extended or combination bolus. There is minimal research to determine which bolus is preferable in different settings. Anecdotally, many patients utilizes only the standard bolus (SB) due to uncertainty regarding when and how to program the different bolus types.

Methods: 5 Animas 2020 pumps with 2 mL cartridges and Inset II infusion systems, 5 Medtronic Paradigm pumps with 1.
Objective: To determine the separate and combined effects of high-protein (HP) and high-fat (HF) meals, with the same carbohydrate content, on postprandial glycemia in children using intensive insulin therapy (IIT).
Research Design And Methods: Thirty-three subjects aged 8-17 years were given 4 test breakfasts with the same carbohydrate amount but varying protein and fat quantities: low fat (LF)/low protein (LP), LF/HP, HF/LP, and HF/HP. LF and HF meals contained 4 g and 35 g fat.
