Background: Nocturnal hypoglycemia is not regularly predictable on the basis of a bedtime BG level and can only be confirmed by BG tests at regular intervals during the night or continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).Objective and hypotheses: A bedtime snack containing carbohydrate as well as fat and protein may be useful in preventing nocturnal hypoglycemia, but this should not be at the expense of high overnight BG levels. In many individuals, a lowering ...

Background: SWEET (www.sweet-project.eu) is a non-profit entity endorsed by ISPAD aiming to create an extensive network of certified CoRs for childhood diabetes in order to ensure high quality care.Objective and hypotheses: SWEET aims at an improved and more uniform care for people with diabetes through comparing processes and outcomes among participating members. The results of data analysis are conveyed to memb...

Aim: To examine the prevalence of endocrine abnormalities and outcome in children and adolescents with Anorexia nervosa (AN).Methods: The study cohort consisted of 181 patients (age 14.6±1.9 years; 160 girls, 21 boys) with AN (n=137), atypical AN (n=6) and other eating disorders except of Bulimia (n=38) who were hospitalized between Jan 2010 and Feb 2013. Somatometric [body-mass-index (BMI), BMI-SDS] and endocrine parameters were a...

Background: COVID19 Lockdown resulted in an extreme change in daily lifestyle with a significant increase in weight and loss of quality of life, as well as an increase in the risk of secondary health conditions even in young people. One reason for this is a fatal change in the nutritional situation, especially among adolescents. Convincing models to counter this problem are missing so far. Multiprofessional training programs could reveal an outstanding effect ...

Aims: The TEENs study is an international, cross-sectional observational study aiming to assess type 1 diabetes (T1D) management and psychosocial parameters in children, adolescents, and young adults, to identify approaches to optimise glycaemic control and outcomes. Results from 11 European countries are presented.Methods: 111 centres providing diabetes care to young T1D patients collected data by participant interview, medical record review and partici...

Objectives: To discuss all challenges involved with providing children (including the very young) and adolescents with diabetes (CwD) with the latest appropriate technology, such as automated insulin delivery systems (AIDs), to manage their blood glucose and help improve their quality of life and suggest ways in which access to new types of devices available to adults can be improved for children with T1D.Methods: In con...

Introduction: The European Registries for Rare Endocrine Conditions (EuRRECa) was created in collaboration with the European Reference Network on Rare Endocrine Conditions (Endo-ERN), the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology and the European Society of Endocrinology to support the needs of the endocrine community.Aim: To describe the patient population and data entered in the EuRRECa Core Registry between June 2...

Background: EuRRECa (European Registries for Rare Endocrine Conditions) is a new project incorporating the development of a core endocrine registry and the development of an e-reporting programme for rare endocrine conditions (e-REC) that are covered within Endo-ERN (https://eurreca.net/e-rec/).Methods: 24 Endo-ERN centres within 12 countries participated in a pilot phase of e-REC...

Background: Registries are of key importance for a centre of expertise. Endo-ERN consists of 71 reference centres (RCs) that cover several groups of rare endocrine conditions within 8 themes (www.endo-ern.eu). It is unclear if awareness, participation and availability of registries is uniform for all conditions within Endo-ERN.Objective: To determine the extent of engagement in registries of Endo-ERN members.<p cl...

Introduction: Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early spring 2020, there was a need to identify the burden of this infection on people with rare endocrine conditions. The European Registries For Rare Endocrine Conditions (EuRRECa) was launched in 2018 in collaboration with Endo-ERN, ESPE and ESE to support the needs of the wider endocrine community. The project consists of an e-reporting (e-REC) platform that allows monthly reporting of new clini...
