Background and aims: In an artificial pancreas, the meal management depends on the meal size and time being reported to the system. Because of the delay of insulin action, it is recommended to declare a meal in advance to allow insulin to limit the glycaemic peak. We aim to assess if the post-prandial glycaemic balance improves as meals are reported in advance.Clinical dataset: As part of Diabeloop DBLUS clinical trial (NCT04190277), 37 ...

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of meal size on glycemic control for T1D adolescent patients equipped with Diabeloop’s Closed Loop, DBLG1 System[1], based on data from the clinical trial NCT04190277. Among this dataset we isolated 37 adolescents. Only days with ≥70% available CGM data and >50% of time in closed-loop were included in the analysis, resulting in an average duration of 18 days per patient for a total of 668 days of treatment. To asses...

Background: Prenatal androgen exposure can lead to variable virilization of external female genitalia. The lack of a consensus definition of clitoromegaly and the limited data available on normal steroid levels in female neonates makes its diagnosis difficult.Objective and hypotheses: The aims of this study were (i) to define reference sizes for external female genitalia in term and preterm neonates as a function of gestational age and birth weight; and ...

Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) affects one in 3000 children at birth. In 65% of cases, CH is due to thyroid dysgenesis (CHDT). For CHDT, there is a family component and therefore genetic. Over the past 20 years, disease-causing mutations in 10 genes have been implicated in CHDT cases (NKX2-1/TTF1, FOXE1/TTF2, NKX2-5, PAX8, GLIS3, NTN1/Netrin-1, JAG1, BOREALIN/CDCA8, TUBB1</...
