A study of the effects of insulin pump therapy on body mass index and glycaemic control in children with type 1 diabetes.
Key Points
Insulin pump therapy resulted in improved glycaemic control within 6 months, enhancing patient management.
The study tracked glycaemic control and body mass index over a 1-year period, with focus on z-scores.
Measures of glycaemic control indicated benefits, although changes in BMI z-scores were not observed.
These findings highlight the efficacy of insulin pump therapy, while suggesting BMI impacts may require further exploration.
Abstract
Insulin pump therapy significantly improved glycaemic control within 6 months and maintained it at 1 year, though BMI z-scores showed no significant change.
