Does treatment with an insulin pump improve glycaemic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes?
This study shows that treatment with CSII resulted in an improvement in HbA1c levels up to 1 yr and decreased the number of severe hypoglycaemic events, but the frequency of ketoacidosis increased. The major challenge is to identify methods to maintain the HbA1c improvement, especially among older children and teenagers, and reduce the frequency of ketoacidosis.
Levocarnitine supplementation improved carnitine levels, the A:F ratio, and longitudinal strain rate in children on HD.
