DKA is classified as mild, moderate, and severe based on the clinical picture and blood pH levels. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the characteristics of T1D onset (DKA level, pH, c-peptide) and the glycometabolic control 2, 5, and 10 years after the diagnosis.<p ...

Background and Objective: Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is one of the most frequent endocrine-metabolic diseases in children and youth. Several studies assessed Sleep Quality (SQ) in Children with Diabetes (CwD), yielding conflicting results. This study aims to test the hypothesis that the use of glucose sensors and insulin pumps in T1D is associated with better QOL and SQ in a group of CwD and their parents/caregiversSubjects and Method...

Recent data showed that MASLD is a common condition also in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and it is independently associated with an increased risk of diabetic complications.Aims: To examine the prevalence of MASLD and its association with glycemic control metrics in children and adolescents with T1D.<p...
