A qualitative study published Diabetic Medicine highlighted the need for novel programs to improve the transition from pediatric to adult care for type 1 diabetes.

Adults with type 1 diabetes for at least 25 years have lower areal bone mineral density compared with those without diabetes, and diabetic neuropathy is linked to further BMD declines in the ultradistal tibia, according to study data.

Adults with thyroid eye disease and diabetes have a higher prevalence of diplopia, strabismus and sight-threatening disease compared with those without diabetes, according to study findings published in Endocrine Practice.

Black adolescents with type 1 diabetes and their parents believe fear, lack of exposure and mistrust of the medical community are some of the reasons racial disparities exist with diabetes device use, according to study findings.

An analysis published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology showed global progress in decreasing diabetes mortality in those younger than 25 years, with less pronounced reductions in low and low-middle sociodemographic countries.

Adults with type 1 diabetes for 50 years or more are less likely to have distal symmetric polyneuropathy if they performed at least 150 minutes of physical activity weekly, according to study data.

More children were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and experienced diabetic ketoacidosis at presentation, in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic than in the previous 5 years, according to data published in JAMA Pediatrics.

A small group of women with type 1 diabetes using a hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system maintained similar glycemic levels and insulin delivery throughout their entire menstrual cycle, according to study data

Guidance on staging pre-symptomatic type 1 diabetes was published in 2015; however, the guidance is not always top of mind in primary care or even in specialty care. Yet, we know as many as 90% of people who go on to develop type 1 diabetes have no family history of type 1 diabetes.
