Sex inequalities in cardiovascular risk factors and their management in primary prevention in adults living with type 1 diabetes in Germany and France: findings from DPV and SFDT1.

Introduction & Objectives: To evaluate whether cardiovascular risk factors and their management differ in primary prevention between adult males and females with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in two European countries in 2020-2022 and sex inequalities in achievement of standards of care in diabetes.

Methods: We used 2020-2022 data of patients without a cardiovascular history in the Prospective Diabetes Follow-up registry (DPV) centres, in Germany, and the Société Francophone du Diabète- Cohorte Diabète de Type 1 cohort (SFDT1), in France.

Results: We included 2,657 participants from the DPV registry and 1,172 from the SFDT1 study.

Q-Score Complements the Time in Range in the Evaluation of Short-Term Glycemic Control.

Background And Aims: The Q-Score is a single-number composite metric that is constructed based on the following components: central glycemic tendency, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and intra- and interday variability. Herein, we refined the Q-Score for the screening and analysis of short-term glycemic control using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) profiles.

Methods: Continuous glucose monitoring profiles were obtained from noninterventional, retrospective cross-sectional studies.

Patient-Tailored Decision Support System Improves Short- and Long-Term Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes.

Background: The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and specialist shortage has caused a healthcare gap that can be bridged by a decision support system (DSS). We investigated whether a diabetes DSS can improve long- and/or short-term glycemic control.

Methods: This is a retrospective observational cohort study of the Diabetiva program, which offered a patient-tailored DSS using Karlsburger Diabetes-Management System (KADIS) once a year.
