With the rapid advancement of diabetes technology, the number of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using automated insulin delivery (AID) systems is increasing, making the presence of such patients in the perioperative period more common. This study presents two cases of T1D patients who underwent thyroidectomy while using AID, following a protocol designed in collaboration with the diabetology, anesthesiology, and surgical teams. Two female patients, aged 12 and 33 years, both using AID systems, were admitted for elective thyroidectomy.

Transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM) is a genetically heterogeneous form of neonatal diabetes characterized by hyperglycemia that remits during infancy with a tendency to recur in later life. This case report presents the history of a male infant with transient neonatal diabetes mellitus. The patient was treated with a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system until the age of 2 months, when the normoglycemia connected with a withdrawal of treatment was noted.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzes glycemic control and anthropometric data in children with type 1 diabetes using the MiniMed 780G Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop system for two years.
  • The research involved 50 children, comparing their glucose levels and growth metrics over time, with no significant changes in their time in the target glucose range or BMI z-scores during the observation period.
  • The findings indicate that glycemic control remained stable over two years, likely aided by an increase in insulin autocorrection, which helped maintain weight and metabolic health in these children.

Background: Given the steadily rising incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D), particularly among the youngest preschool children, coupled with well-documented challenges of achieving and maintaining optimal metabolic control in this age group, there is a growing need for advanced technological devices.

Objective: To evaluate glycaemic control in children below the age of seven with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and assess the safety of the advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) system in comparison to the previous treatment method, a sensor-augmented pump with predictive low-glucose suspend (SAP-PLGS).

Method: Data from 10 children (aged 2.

Technological advances offer the opportunity to improve glycemic control and reduce the risk of complications and burden of type 1 diabetes while improving patient quality of life. Closed-loop insulin delivery systems take the technology to a larger scale by integrating CGM systems with an insulin pump and an algorithm that automates insulin delivery (HCL systems). Several systems using hybrid closed loop technology are currently offered in the global marketplace: the MiniMed™ 670G and MiniMed™ 780G (SmartGuard™) system from Medtronic; the T slim x2 Control IQ from Tandem; the Omnipod5 automated mode (HypoProtect™)5 from Insulet; and the CamAPS FX DanaRS or Ypso pump.

Technological progress in the treatment of type 1 diabetes requires doctors to use modern methods of insulin therapy in all areas of medicine that patients may come into contact with, including surgical interventions. The current guidelines indicate the possibility of using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in minor surgical procedures, but there are few reported cases of using a hybrid closed-loop system in perioperative insulin therapy. This case presentation focuses on two children with type 1 diabetes who were treated with an advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) system during a minor surgical procedure.

Background: Information on the influence of insulin treatment using advanced hybrid closed loop systems (AHCL) on body weight of young patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is scarce. The aim of this study was to observe whether there were any changes in body mass index (BMI) of children and adolescents with T1D treated using the Medtronic Minimed 780G AHCL after 1 year of follow up and to analyze potential associations between these changes and the insulin doses.

Materials And Methods: For 50 children and adolescents (age 5.

Aims: To investigate the prevalence of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs), including dyslipidaemia, obesity and high glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) concentration, in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), and to evaluate their association with blood pressure (BP) categories.

Methods: We analysed 21 634 children and adolescents with T1D from the SWEET international database with office BP values assessed at a three or more visits within a year from 2010 to 2021. Participants were classified into a normotensive group, a group with elevated BP (90 to 94th percentile) or a hypertensive group (≥95th percentile), based on the median BP for the visits within the last treatment year.

The aim of this prospective open-label single-arm single-center follow-up study was to analyze glycemic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes treated with the advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) system in relation to a sensor-augmented pump with low-glucose suspend (SAP-LGS) or predictive low-glucose suspend (SAP-PLGS). The data for 50 children and adolescents (age 5.5-19.

Background: There are several observations that the onset of coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) pandemic was associated with an increase in the incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). However, due to heterogeneity in study designs and country-specific healthcare policies, more national-level evidence is needed to provide generalizable conclusions.

Objective: To compare the rate of DKA in Polish children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) between the first year of COVID-19 pandemic (15 March 2020 to 15 March 2021) and the preceding year (15 March 2019 to 15 March 2020).

Objective: The prevalence of hypertension is higher in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared with those without. This retrospective analysis of a large cohort of children and adolescents with T1D from the SWEET (Better control in Pediatric and Adolescent diabeteS: Working to crEate CEnTers of Reference) international consortium of pediatric diabetes centers aimed to 1) estimate the prevalence of elevated office blood pressure (BP) and hypertension and 2) investigate the influence of BP measurement methodology on the prevalence of hypertension.

Research Design And Methods: A total of 27,120 individuals with T1D, aged 5-18 years, were analyzed.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in children with newly disclosed type 1 diabetes (T1D) during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 compared to 2019.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of the history database of all hospitalized children in our department. The International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) guidelines were used for the diagnosis of DKA.

(1) Background: Intensive insulin therapy using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) with continuous real-time glucose monitoring (rt CGM) is the best option for patients with T1D. The recent introduction of a technology called Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop (AHCL) represents a new era in the treatment of type 1 diabetes, the next step towards better care, as well as improving the effectiveness and safety of therapy. The aim is to present the case of a T1D patient with a borderline total daily dose of insulin being treated with the Medtronic AHCL system in automatic mode.

Discontinuation of type 1 diabetes (T1DM) treatment (interruption of insulin therapy) rapidly leads to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) which is a life-threatening condition. Our case report is intended to draw attention to persons with T1DM and significant social/psychological problems. They typically, due to the lack of legal regulations, "fall out of the system", which should provide in such cases additional assistance in care conditioning proper treatment.

Quality of life (QoL) is an important parameter that affects the choice of therapy. Assessment of QoL and satisfaction with therapy using the rtCGM in children with T1D aged < 7 years was conducted. The study group consisted of 38 children with T1D aged < 7 years (34% aged 2-4, 66% aged 5-7 years), HbA1c: 6.

Introduction: The higher frequency of infections in diabetic patients is caused by a hyperglycemic environment, which promotes immune dysfunction. People with diabetes are more prone to skin infections. A continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system provides information on changes in blood glucose (BG) levels throughout the day.
