Purpose: To clarify how early in the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR) can oxygen (O ) saturation changes be detected.
Methods: Retinal oximetry was performed in a cross-sectional study, involving 14- to 30-year-old individuals: 185 with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and 94 controls. The subjects were divided into four groups according to the grade of DR. One-way ANOVA and post hoc tests were used to test for differences in the mean O saturations between the groups.
Results: Fifty-eight (31 %) of the T1D patients had nonproliferative DR. There was no significant difference in O saturations between controls and T1D patients with no DR. Arteriolar and venular O saturations in T1D patients were significantly higher in moderate/severe DR than in no DR (p = 0.009 and p > 0.001), while venular O saturation was significantly higher in mild DR than in no DR (p = 0.013).
Conclusion: Increase in venular O saturation could not be detected before mild retinopathy had developed, and the retinal O saturation increase was measurable on the venular side first. Our results suggest that the increase in O saturation is likely a consequence of DR.

Background: Transition from paediatric to adult healthcare is a turning point for patients with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). A gradual coordinated process connecting paediatric and adult healthcare providers may improve adherence to adult follow-up.
Aims: To describe a transition process developed jointly by paediatric and adult diabetology units and compare patients progressing or not to follow-up in adult care setting.

Aims: According to the 2023 International Consensus, glucose metrics derived from two-week-long continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can be extrapolated up to 90 days before. However, no studies have focused on adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) on multiple daily injections (MDIs) and with second-generation intermittently scanned CGM (isCGM) sensors in a real-world setting.
Methods: This real-world, retrospective study included 539 90-day isCGM data from 367 adults with T1D on MDI therapy.

To use electronic health record (EHR) data to develop a scalable and transferrable model to predict 6-month risk for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)-related hospitalization or emergency care in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). To achieve a sharable predictive model, we engineered features using EHR data mapped to the T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Collaborative's (T1DX-QI) data schema used by 60+ U.S.

This case report presents a rare instance of a 28-year-old female patient with insulin-induced abdominal lipodystrophy, who presented to the emergency department with symptoms of an anxiety attack triggered by body image distress. She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of eight years. For the past 10 years, she has been using insulin glargine and insulin lispro, injecting roughly five times per day.

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is one of the most common chronic diseases with childhood onset. Cinematic films and movies can reach populations worldwide and affect their concept of this disease. Through this research, the authors examined the accuracy of movies depicting T1D from childhood into adulthood.
