Aims: This cross-sectional analysis explored the relationships between periodontal disease (PD) and subclinical CVD in a cohort of patients with type 1 diabetes and non-diabetic controls.
Methods: Data were collected from adults enrolled in the Coronary Artery Calcification in Type 1 Diabetes (CACTI) study or enrolled through the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes Adult Clinic. A clinical periodontal exam measured attachment loss and probing depth.

The Medtronic advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) and MiniMed™ 670G hybrid closed-loop (HCL) systems provide the option to temporarily increase the glucose target to 150 mg/dL (8.3 mmol/L). This analysis investigated the efficacy of the AHCL compared with that of the HCL after the use of this setting.

The aim of this analysis was to evaluate whether this improved performance was specifically related to better mealtime glycemic control. We conducted a secondary analysis of postprandial glycemic control in an open-label, multinational, randomized crossover trial of 112 participants with type 1 diabetes, aged 14-29, of the Medtronic MiniMed™ 670G hybrid closed-loop system (670G) versus the Medtronic advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) system, for 12 weeks each.

Thousands use Loop, but little is known about those who discontinue. In a large observational study, 874 Loop participants completed surveys and provided glycemic data, 46 (5.

Patient-reported outcome (PROs) measures were administered before randomization and at the end of each study period in 113 adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes. Glucose monitoring satisfaction subscales for emotional burden and behavioral burden improved significantly ( < 0.

Objective: This work examines how demographic and clinical variables may affect trajectories of glycemic control over time.
Background: Management of type 1 diabetes is challenging. We compared outcomes using a commercially available hybrid closed-loop system versus a new investigational system with features potentially useful for adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes.
Methods: In this multinational, randomised, crossover trial (Fuzzy Logic Automated Insulin Regulation [FLAIR]), individuals aged 14-29 years old, with a clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes with a duration of at least 1 year, using either an insulin pump or multiple daily insulin injections, and glycated haemoglobin (HbA) levels of 7·0-11·0% (53-97 mmol/mol) were recruited from seven academic-based endocrinology practices, four in the USA, and one each in Germany, Israel, and Slovenia.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Loop Do-It-Yourself automated insulin delivery system. A prospective real-world observational study was conducted, which included 558 adults and children (age range 1-71 years, mean HbA1c 6.8% ± 1.
