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...

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: Early postnatal administration of recombinant human gonadotropins can be an effective way to mimic mini-puberty, and thus increase penile growth in infants with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH). We report for the first time its efficacy on an infant with partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (PAIS).Objective and hypotheses: To evaluate the benefits of a continuous subcutaneous infusion of recombinant human gonadotropins (CSCI-...
