Pregnant women with type 1 diabetes are a high-risk population who recommended to strive for optimal glucose control, but neonatal outcomes attributed maternal hyperglycaemia remain suboptimal. Our aim was examine the effectiveness of continuous monitoring (CGM) on control and obstetric health outcomes.In this multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial, we recruited aged 18-40 years minimum 12 months were receiving intensive insulin therapy. Participants pregnant (≤13 weeks 6 days'...
Behavioral family systems therapy (BFST) for adolescents with diabetes has improved relationships and communication, but effects on adherence metabolic control were weak. We evaluated a revised intervention, BFST (BFST-D).One hundred four families randomized to standard care (SC) or 12 sessions of either an educational support group (ES) BFST-D over 6 months. Family relationships, adherence, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), health utilization measured at baseline after treatment.BFST-D...

OBJECTIVE—Studies showing that family communication and conflict resolution are critical to effective management of type 1 diabetes in adolescents have stimulated interest evaluating psychological treatments targeting these processes. Previous trials shown Behavioral Family Systems Therapy (BFST) improved parent-adolescent relationships but not treatment adherence or glycemic control. This study evaluates a revised intervention, BFST for Diabetes (BFST-D), modified achieve greater impact on...
OBJECTIVE—This study reports 6- and 12-month follow-up for the families of adolescents with diabetes who participated in a trial Behavioral–Family Systems Therapy (BFST). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—A total 119 type 1 were randomized to 3 months treatment either BFST, an education support (ES) group, or current therapy (CT). Family relationships, adjustment diabetes, adherence, diabetic control assessed at baseline, after treatment, 6 12 later. This report focuses on latter two evaluations....
A cross-sectional study of health and adjustment among 18 to 22-year-old patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is reported. Objectives were examine coping IDDM in this age group; identify predictors status, treatment adherence, care use; provide a retrospective evaluation the persistence IDDM-specific from earlier through later adolescence. Multiple validated measures, interviews independent informants, biochemical assays used assess psychological, behavioral, metabolic...
Objective Collaboration between youths with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their adult caregivers may be central to effective management of T1D. This article includes analysis cross-sectional associations T1D outcomes (adherence, glycemic control, quality life, family conflict, depression, self-efficacy) scores on the Collaborative Parent Involvement (CPI) Scale obtained from 309 about primary secondary caregivers. Methods MANCOVA, controlling for age, evaluated youths' CPI each caregiver....

OBJECTIVE—This study assesses the effects of insulin pump therapy on diabetes control and family life in children 1–6 years old with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—Twenty-six for ≥6 months were randomly assigned to current (two or three shots per day using NPH rapid-acting analog) continuous subcutaneous infusion (CSII) 6 months. After months, subjects offered CSII. Changes HbA1c, mean blood glucose (MBG), hypoglycemia frequency, diabetes-related quality (QOL), parental...
OBJECTIVE—This study assesses whether use of the GlucoWatch G2 Biographer (GW2B) in addition to standard glucose monitoring lowers HbA1c and reduces hypoglycemia compared with alone. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—In all, 200 subjects aged 7 <18 years type 1 diabetes were randomly assigned at five centers (usual care) or plus GW2B for 6 months. Study outcomes included values obtained months occurrence severe hypoglycemia. RESULTS—The mean baseline was 8.0% both groups; months, 7.9% usual...
OBJECTIVE Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has been found to improve control in type 1 diabetic patients. We estimated the cost-effectiveness of CGM versus standard diabetes.
