Universal Subsidized Continuous Glucose Monitoring Funding for Young People With Type 1 Diabetes: Uptake and Outcomes Over 2 Years, a Population-Based Study

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is increasingly used in type 1 diabetes management; however, funding models vary. This study determined the uptake rate and glycemic outcomes following a change in national health policy to introduce universal subsidized CGM funding for people with type 1 diabetes aged <21 years.

A novel mobile health app to educate and empower young people with type 1 diabetes to exercise safely: Prospective single-arm mixed methods pilot study

Empowering young people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) to manage their blood glucose levels during exercise is a complex challenge faced by health care professionals due to the unpredictable nature of exercise and its effect on blood glucose levels. Mobile health (mHealth) apps would be useful as a decision-support aid to effectively contextualize a blood glucose result and take appropriate action to optimize glucose levels during and after exercise.

3DFAACTS-SNP: using regulatory T cell-specific epigenomics data to uncover candidate mechanisms of type 1 diabetes (T1D) risk

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have enabled the discovery of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are significantly associated with many autoimmune diseases including type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, many of the identified variants lie in non-coding regions, limiting the identification of mechanisms that contribute to autoimmune disease progression.

Effect of combining pre-exercise carbohydrate intake and repeated short sprints on the blood glucose response to exercise in young individuals with Type 1 diabetes

When carbohydrates are ingested prior to moderate-intensity exercise, adding repeated sprints is not significantly detrimental to glycaemic management

Research

Real-world outcomes of insulin pump compared to injection therapy in a population-based sample of children with type 1 diabetes

Patients using insulin pump therapy had a better long-term glycemic control relative to the matched injection therapy cohort

Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Trends to Facilitate Exercise in Children with Type 1 Diabetes

This study investigated the use of a carbohydrate intake algorithm based on continuous glucose monitoring trends during physical activity

Regular peaks and troughs in the Australian incidence of childhood type 1 diabetes mellitus (2000–2011).

This study aimed to determine the incidence and incidence rate trends of type 1 diabetes mellitus in children aged 0–14 years...

Glycaemic control of Type 1 diabetes in clinical practice early in the 21st century: An international comparison

Improving glycaemic control in people with Type 1 diabetes is known to reduce complications.

Effect of antecedent moderate-intensity exercise on the glycemia-increasing effect of a 30-sec maximal sprint: a sex comparison

This study investigated whether a prior bout of moderate-intensity exercise attenuates the glycemia-increasing effect of a maximal 30-sec sprint.
