Hybrid closed-loop insulin therapy improves glycemic control in adolescents, young adults
Hybrid closed-loop insulin therapy improved glycemic control in adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes. These outcomes, derived from the International Diabetes Closed-Loop (iDCL) Trial, are reported in the peer-reviewed journal
Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics (DTT).
Adolescents and young adults with a mean age of 17 years were randomly assigned to a closed-loop control (CLC) insulin delivery system or a sensor augmented pump (SAP) with a continuous glucose monitoring system over a 6-month period. The Time in Range increased by 13% for the CLC group, compared to a decrease of 1% with SAP, for a group difference of +3.1 hours/day. This reflected a reduction in time spent at >180 mg/dL. The use of CLC was especially effective at increasing Time in Range overnight.

Access to Healthcare Through Languages: Latinos and Type 1 Diabetes

âIf being a teenager is tough, imagine being a Latino teenager with type 1 diabetes.â Silly, I know. All teenagers struggle, some mightily. Yet, I know that having diabetes had an impact on my adolescence.
Being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) at age 5 took a toll as I grew up. High school was rough for me. Pricking my finger before eating or between classes was embarrassing, not to mention the injections.
Thankfully it didnât seem to matter to my friends, but it did to me. Hiding in bathroom stalls to eat a candy bar became an everyday occurrence.
