In safe hands: child health data storage, linkage and consent for useWhile there is potential for societal benefit from linkage and integration of large datasets, there are gaps in our understanding of the implications for children and young people, and limited inclusion of their views within this discourse. We aimed to understand the views and expectations of children, young people and their parents/caregivers in Aotearoa New Zealand regarding child health data storage, linkage and consent for use.

Parental experiences of using continuous glucose monitoring in their young children with early-stage type 1 diabetes: a qualitative interview studyTo explore parents' experiences of using continuous glucose monitoring in their young children with early-stage type 1 diabetes, being followed in the Australian Environmental Determinants of Islet Autoimmunity (ENDIA) study.

Clinical Outcomes with MiniMedTM 780G Advanced Hybrid Closed-Loop Therapy in 2- to 6-Year-Old Children with Type 1 DiabetesAdvanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) therapy with the Medtronic MiniMed™ 780G system improves glycemia; however, the clinical outcomes in younger children remain less established. This pilot study aimed to explore the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics in very young children on AHCL. Children between 2 and 7 years of age and on insulin pump therapy were recruited.

Hybrid Closed-Loop Versus Manual Insulin Delivery in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: A Post Hoc Analysis Using the Glycemia Risk IndexGlycemia risk index (GRI) is a novel composite metric assessing overall glycemic risk, accounting for both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia and weighted toward extremes. Data assessing GRI as an outcome measure in closed-loop studies and its relation with conventional key continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics are limited.

Epigenome-wide meta-analysis of blood DNA methylation in newborns and children identifies numerous loci related to gestational ageWe identified numerous CpGs differentially methylated in relation to gestational age at birth that appear to reflect fetal developmental processes across tissues

Features of the metabolic syndrome in late adolescence are associated with impaired testicular function at 20 years of ageAdolescents with features of metabolic disorder or insulin resistance show impaired testicular function and altered hormone levels

Variation in nutrition education practices in SWEET pediatric diabetes centers-an international comparisonNutrition education is central to pediatric type 1 diabetes management. Dietary management guidelines for type 1 diabetes are evidence based, but implementation may be challenging and inconsistent. We describe variation in the practice of nutrition education across pediatric diabetes centers globally and explore associations with A1c and BMI.

Use of remote monitoring with continuous glucose monitoring in young children with Type 1 diabetes: the parents’ perspectiveParents of primary school children reported that using remote monitoring and continuous glucose monitoring was a mostly beneficial experience

Hypoglycaemia, cardiovascular disease, and mortality in diabetes: epidemiology, pathogenesis, and managementStudy findings have suggested that hypoglycaemia is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality

Socioeconomic status and diabetes technology use in youth with type 1 diabetes: a comparison of two funding modelsTechnology use, including continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and insulin pump therapy, is associated with improved outcomes in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). In 2017 CGM was universally funded for youth with T1D in Australia. In contrast, pump access is primarily accessed through private health insurance, self-funding or philanthropy.
