Marked improvement in HbA following commencement of flash glucose monitoring in people with type 1 diabetes.

Aims/hypothesis: Minimal evidence supports the efficacy of flash monitoring in lowering HbA. We sought to assess the impact of introducing flash monitoring in our centre.

Methods: We undertook a prospective observational study to assess change in HbA in 900 individuals with type 1 diabetes following flash monitoring (comparator group of 518 with no flash monitoring).

Effect of androgen treatment during foetal and/or neonatal life on ovarian function in prepubertal and adult rats.

We investigated the effects of different windows of testosterone propionate (TP) treatment during foetal and neonatal life in female rats to determine whether and when excess androgen exposure would cause disruption of adult reproductive function. Animals were killed prepubertally at d25 and as adults at d90. Plasma samples were taken for hormone analysis and ovaries serial sectioned for morphometric analyses.
