Article Synopsis
- Early and tight glycaemic control is essential for preventing long-term complications in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), and this study aimed to evaluate glucose metrics, specifically Time In Tight Range (TITR), in children and adolescents.
- Conducted in a single centre with 534 participants, the study compared four treatment methods: multiple daily injections (MDI) with various types of glucose monitoring, and advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) systems, analyzing their effectiveness on glucose levels.
- Results showed that the AHCL group achieved significantly better Time In Range (TIR) and Time In Tight Range (TITR) compared to the other groups, suggesting that automated insulin delivery systems could substantially enhance glycaemic control
