Background: Implementation of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children is constant from 20 years. In combination with insulin treatment, therapeutic patient education (TPE) is essential to improve care and prognostic. The use of video games as educational support appears suitable for learning in children, innovative, and interesting to respond to the increase in TPE needs in T1D and current economic constraints.Objective and hypotheses: To validate in a proof o...

Background: Glibenclamide has proven to be efficient for patients with neonatal diabetes owing to potassium channel mutations. We developed a suspension of glibenclamide (EMA CHMP Authorization February 2018) fitting recommendations of drug administration to allow a precise dosage. We reported it to be practical, efficient and well tolerated after 3 months of use.Objective: To determine long term efficiency and tolerance of a new suspension of glibenclam...

Objective: Fear of hypoglycemia interferes frequently with metabolic control of type 1 diabetes especially in patients under 5 years of age who are at high risk of hypoglycemia and low metabolic control. Medtronic Minimed 640 G insulin pump with Smart Guard technology (suspension of insulin perfusion in predictive hypoglycemia situations) appears to be an adequate system for these patients by reducing the risk of hypoglycemia.Research design and methods:...

Background: Sulfonylureas (SU) have proven to be effective in patients with monogenic diabetes owing to potassium channel mutation. They allow the discontinuation of insulin and a good metabolic control. Long-term data arguing for a persistent beneficial effect of SU are missing.Objective and hypotheses: SU provide a good metabolic control maintained over time in patients with neonatal diabetes.Method: From a French cohort of 34 pa...

Introduction: HbA1C goals are rarely achieved in children with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) except at the cost of increased hypoglycaemia episodes. The Diabeloop Hybrid Closed-Loop system improves time in range and glycemic control in adults. However, the efficacy and safety of the system had not yet been evaluated in children. Our objective was to evaluate the safety and efficiency of the Diabeloop hybrid closed-loop system in prepubescent children (DBL4K).<p cl...

Background: Glibenclamide has proven to be efficient for patients with neonatal diabetes owing to potassium channel mutations. Anyway its pharmaceutical form is not suitable for young children or infants. The tablets dosage is too high for most infants and must be crushed and diluted before administration. We developed a suspension of glibenclamide (EMA Orphean drug designation january 2016) fitting recommendations of drug administration to allow a precise dosage and designed ...
