Article Synopsis
- New technologies for managing type 1 diabetes (T1D) in young children are growing, but there’s a lack of real-life studies focused on kids under 6 years old.
- The study aimed to investigate parental satisfaction with continuous and flash glucose monitoring devices for T1D in children, involving 114 parents who completed a questionnaire.
- Results showed 95% of parents were satisfied with the monitoring devices, with satisfaction linked to the device's reliability, though some parents reported challenges related to applying the devices and skin reactions.
Introduction: Requests for hormonal transition in minors are increasing. To date, there is no national recommendation to guide these practices in France. Therefore, the SFEDP (French Society of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology) has commissioned a group of experts to draft the first national consensus on this topic.

Study Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the tertiary multidisciplinary (nephrology, hepatogastroenterology, endocrinology, diabetology, transplantation) pediatric department of Timone Hospital in Marseille, France. Patients 8-17 years of age with a chronic disease were included during regular follow-up appointments.
Article Synopsis
- * The French Endocrine Society and associated organizations created a reference document to address the complexities of managing these tumors, which can recur and lead to serious health issues, including impaired quality of life for patients, especially those with hypothalamic syndrome.
- * Recent research has identified two tumor types—papillary and adamantinomatous—with different molecular signatures and treatment strategies, prompting ongoing developments in therapeutic options, including new medications for associated symptoms like hyperphagia.
Hypopituitarism (or pituitary deficiency) is a rare disease with an estimated prevalence of between 1/16,000 and 1/26,000 individuals, defined by insufficient production of one or several anterior pituitary hormones (growth hormone [GH], thyroid-stimulating hormone [TSH], adrenocorticotropic hormone [ACTH], luteinizing hormone [LH], follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH], prolactin), in association or not with diabetes insipidus (antidiuretic hormone [ADH] deficiency). While in adults hypopituitarism is mostly an acquired disease (tumors, irradiation), in children it is most often a congenital condition, due to abnormal pituitary development. Clinical symptoms vary considerably from isolated to combined deficiencies and between syndromic and non-syndromic forms.
