Metformin Improves Peripheral Insulin Sensitivity in Young Patients With Type 1 Diabetes
Metformin might improve whole-body and peripheral insulin sensitivity in overweight/obese adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes
C-Peptide Responsiveness During OGTT May Explain HbA1c Variation at T1D Diagnosis
The addition of timing measures of C-peptide responsiveness may partly explain the glycated hemoglobin variation at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.
Home-Based Video Visits Useful for Pediatric Patients With Poorly Controlled Type 1 Diabetes
Pediatric patients with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes consider home-based video visits with healthcare providers to be feasible and satisfactory.
No Increased Risk for Diabetes After HPV Vaccination
There was no increased risk for development of diabetes mellitus type 1 after vaccination for human papilloma virus.
Wearable Device for Heart Rate Variability Can Detect Early Hypoglycemia
A wearable device that measures real-time heart rate variability can detect early signs of hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Closed-Loop Insulin Delivery Associated With Lower Insulin Doses in Children With T1D
Closed-loop insulin administration appears to be better targeted and may be more effective in children with type 1 diabetes compared with sensor-augmented pump therapy.
Hypoglycemia Often Unrecognized by Older Adults With T1D
Blood sugar levels of older adults with type 1 diabetes are in the hypoglycemic range for more than an hour a day, and blood sugar levels of those with impaired hypoglycemia awareness may be in hypoglycemic range even longer.
FDA Rejects Zynquista NDA for Type 1 Diabetes Treatment
The FDA issued a Complete Response Letter rejecting the New Drug Application (NDA) for Zynquista (sotagliflozin; Sanofi and Lexicon) for the treatment of adults with type 1 diabetes, in combination with insulin.
Success of Insulin Pump Therapy Predicted by Pre-Pump Glycemic Control in T1D
Hemoglobin A1c levels before the initiation of insulin pump therapy predicted the extent to which insulin pump therapy improved glycemic control in children with type 1 diabetes.
Gluten Intake Does Not Increase Risk for Islet Autoimmunity, T1D in High-Risk Children
There is no significant association between gluten intake and development of islet autoimmunity or type 1 diabetes in children at increased risk for diabetes.
