Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM-1) is one of the most common chronic childhood diseases, and it is essential to optimize glycemic control in order to avoid complications. For years, interstitial glucose measurement systems (MGI systems) have been among the new technologies at the forefront of self-care.
Objectives: To determine the impact on the well-being of the caregivers of patients with DM-1 under 18 years of age, controlled at a Pediatric Diabetes Unit of a third level hospital, of the use of MGI systems.
Article Synopsis
- - Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB is a lysosomal storage disease that results from a deficiency of the enzyme N-acetyl-alpha-d-glucosaminidase, leading to the buildup of heparan sulfate in tissues.
- - An 8-year-old patient with this condition experienced chronic diarrhea linked to intestinal lymphangiectasia, which improved after starting a low-fat diet with medium-chain triglycerides.
- - The cause of chronic diarrhea in Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB is still unclear, but the presence of intestinal lymphangiectasia in these patients should be looked into, and dietary modifications may enhance their quality of life.

Renal artery stenosis represents a rare cause of neonatal arterial hypertension of renovascular origin, having been described few cases in the literature at this stage of life. Most patients with this disease remain asymptomatic; hypertension can be detected in routine pediatric revisions. Diagnosis can be performed by combining biochemical and radiological findings.
