Objective: To evaluate changes in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and -height over 3 years based on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) usage among children with new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1DM) from various Latin American centers.
Study Design: Data on -height, CGM access, and HbA1c (%) were collected for Latin American children aged 6 months to 18 years with T1DM onset from 19 centers in a retrospective analysis of medical records, from 2020 to 2023. A 2-way ANOVA method with repeated measures and multiple regression analyses were performed.
Objective: To describe the patterns of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) occurrence in children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) across several Latin American pediatric diabetes centers from 2018 to 2022.
Methods: A retrospective chart review included children under 18 with new-onset T1DM from 30 Latin American pediatric diabetes centers (Argentina, Chile, and Peru) between 30 December 2018 and 30 December 2022. Multiple logistic regression models examined the relationships between age, gender, medical insurance, BMI, and DKA at new-onset T1DM.
Background: Hepcidin is a protein that regulates the metabolism of iron. In addition, a high iron load can cause insulin resistance and subsequent diabetes.
Objective: To investigate the association between hepcidin levels and glucose, insulin, lipids, HOMA-IR, and inflammatory markers, C reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, Lp (a), and leucocytes, in indigenous school children living at 4000 m above sea level.
Objective: To determine if the triglycerides and glucose index (TyG) can be used as a marker for insulin resistance (IR) in Argentinean schoolchildren according to age and sex.
Methods: Anthropometric data, blood glucose levels, lipid profiles, and insulin levels were measured. The TyG index was defined by Ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dL)* fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2].
