PMID: 34407200.Brief Summary: This retrospective single center study in neonates with hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia examined the utility of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). CGM is best placed as an adjunct to routine intermittent blood glucose monitoring, providing information on glucose trends d...

Brief summary: In this study the authors reported the adult height and timing of puberty of a cohort of Danish children born small for gestational age (SGA) and treated with rhGH in comparison with national growth standards. rhGH treatment significantly increased height SDS in adulthood as compared to the height SDS at treatment start. Age at peak height velocity did not differ compared with the reference cohort, although peak height velocity was reduced in SGA subjects. SGA b...

Brief summary: In this multicenter, open-label, parallel-group, randomized trial, 97 adolescents (aged 10–16.9 years) were randomized within 21 days after the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) to receive either hybrid closed-loop therapy or standard insulin therapy (control) for 24 months. Although closed-loop therapy was associated with better glycemic outcomes, there were no differences in C-peptide between the two groups.The Closed Loop from Ons...
