This practical book focuses on the use of glucose sensors in children with type 1 diabetes. It is an evidence-based, simple, illustrated tool written by expert physicians in the field, experienced with patients living in Italy and in the UK. The introductory chapters offer a quick and well-documented update on technology use in the child with diabetes, while the chapter on clinical studies provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific basis and benefits on glucose sensor use. The practical use of sensors in all age groups, including toddlers, and any related psychological issues are also discussed. This volume allows health care professionals, pediatric trainees and medical students caring for children with type 1 diabetes to increase their understanding of sensor use, making this technology easier and more reliable to use.

Currently, available information on pediatric and adolescent diabetes is limited to chapters in larger books covering the broader topic of pediatric endocrinology, and these do not have the space to delve into specific topics. This concise, timely book contains everything that a practicing provider needs to know in order to provide comprehensive, up-to-date care for children and adolescents with diabetes, from the latest methods for diagnosing various types of diabetes to integrating cutting-edge technology in the care of this patient population. Initial management, the use of insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitoring, and automated insulin delivery are discussed in detail, as are nutrition therapy, exercise, psychosocial challenges, acute and long-term complications, and future directions for treatment and research. Further, this book provides clinicians with guidelines for the implementation of best practices as outlined by leading associations such as the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and International Society of Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD). The Yale Children's Diabetes Program has been ranked among the best in the United States, including clinicians and researchers who are world-renowned for their efforts in improving the care of children with diabetes. This wealth of knowledge and experience positions the author team well as experts in this field.

EXPERIENCE OF CGM (CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING) FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS IN A PEDRIATRIC DIABETES UNIT.Graciela Louu2020, Gemma Larramonau2021, Teresa Montaneru2021, Sara Barbedu2020u2020Hospital Pediu00e1trico Miguel Servetu2021 Universidad de ZaragozaObjective: Estimate the use of CGM in a Pediatric Diabetes Unit from a Spanish region. To find out differences between the different CGM systems (included flash type or intermittent) and according to the type of treatment. To analyze the metabolic control, frequency of mild and severe hypoglycaemia among the same patients before and after using CGM and to compare patients with and without CGM.Methods: Data are collected from September to December 2017, from patients whose diagnosis was between 2003 and 2017. Patients are grouped in age groups (5; 6-10; 10) and demographic, metabolic control and treatment variables are collected.Results: 120 patients collaborated, implying a response of 80%.70% use MDI, of which 48% use CGM, being 89% in the case of patients using CSII. In older than 10 years there is a predilection for intermittent measurement systems, unlike those under 5 years prefer continuous measurement. The use of CGM significantly reduces HbA1c compared to those who do not use them and significantly reduces the number of mild hypoglycaemia, with the disappearance of severe hypoglycaemia in 6 months. 43% of patients reduce the number of glycemias/day significantly after 6 months of use. CGM decreases almost a 5% the HbAc1 value and a 19% the Coefficient of Variation. Conclusion: There exists an improvement in the metabolic control and the glycemic variability of using CGM. Hypoglycemia is diminished by GCM, to a greater extent by the Integrated sensor-augmented pump system. Adolescents prefer to use intermittent measurement systems, reducing the number of glycemia/d.

This book offers a detailed update on research into diabetes with onset in childhood or adolescence. The coverage ranges from fundamental aspects such as study design and statistical analysis through to new ideas for research, the latest research findings, and implications of these findings for clinical care in childhood. Examples of topics addressed in this context include the prevention of diabetic complications, management of micro- and macrovascular complications, the roles of nutrition and exercise, insulin therapy, islet transplantation, and risky behaviors in teenagers. Attention is also focused on the latest technologies, including the artificial pancreas and continuous glucose monitoring, and associated regulatory aspects. The reader will find novel insights into the ways in which research is impacting on clinical management as well as advice on methodology and stimulating ideas on future research areas. The book is based on presentations delivered at the 15th ISPAD (International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes) Research School for Physicians, held in Milan. It will be of interest for all diabetologists, pediatricians, dietitians, biomedical engineers, nurses, and students.
