Insulin pump settings in children: From Basal to Bolus in plain language
An insulin pump is one of the most advanced methods of diabetes management, especially in children with type 1 diabetes. In this method, insulin is delivered continuously and on a schedule to mimic the natural function of the pancreas. To better understand the pump settings, we need to understand two main concepts: Basal and Bolus. […]
Diabetes in children in the coming years: easier or more complicated treatment
Diabetes in Children in the Coming Years: Simpler or More Complicated Treatment? Introduction Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in children, requiring lifelong management. Traditionally, treatment has been complex, involving multiple daily insulin injections, careful monitoring of blood sugar, carbohydrate counting, and constant vigilance by parents or caregivers. However, in […]
The role of big data in improving the treatment of children’s diabetes
The Role of Big Data in Improving the Treatment of Children’s Diabetes Introduction: From Individual Care to Data-Driven Medicine The treatment of children with diabetes, particularly type 1 diabetes, has traditionally relied on clinical expertise, individual patient monitoring, and family experience. Doctors adjusted insulin doses based on periodic clinic visits, blood glucose logs, and laboratory […]
Is there a way to treat diabetes in children without injections? Review of global projects
Introduction: The Burden of Injections in Pediatric Diabetes For children with type 1 diabetes, daily insulin injections are a painful and anxiety-inducing necessity. The fear of needles can lead to poor adherence, impacting glycemic control and increasing the risk of complications. This challenge has spurred global research into non-invasive insulin delivery methods that could transform […]
Insulin pump + CGM + artificial intelligence: automatic treatment of children’s diabetes
Insulin Pump + CGM + Artificial Intelligence: The Automatic Treatment of Children’s Diabetes Introduction: A New Era in Pediatric Diabetes Care Type 1 diabetes in children requires constant and precise management. Unlike adults, children experience rapid changes in blood sugar due to growth, hormones, unpredictable eating habits, physical activity, stress, and sleep patterns. Traditionally, this […]
Artificial pancreatic system in children: a real revolution in the treatment of diabetes.
The Artificial Pancreas System in Children: A Real Revolution in Diabetes Treatment Introduction Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood. In this condition, the pancreas no longer produces insulin due to autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells. As a result, children with diabetes must rely on external insulin administration […]
A guide to buying diabetes equipment for traveling with children: from insulin refrigerators to medical power banks
A Complete Guide to Buying Diabetes Equipment for Traveling with a Child: From Insulin Refrigerators to Medical Power Banks Traveling with a child who has diabetes can be both exciting and challenging. Beyond packing clothes and snacks, parents must carefully plan for safe storage, transportation, and operation of diabetes equipment, including insulin, glucose monitoring devices, […]
The role of auto-injectors in reducing children’s fear of injections
The Role of Auto-Injectors in Reducing Children’s Fear of Injections For many children, injections are a source of anxiety, stress, and even avoidance. This fear can interfere with routine vaccinations, insulin therapy, allergy treatments, and emergency medications, posing risks to their health and well-being. Fortunately, auto-injectors—devices designed to simplify and automate the injection process—have emerged […]
Waterproof glucose monitoring sensors for active children and athletes
Waterproof Glucose Monitoring Sensors for Active and Athletic Children: A Comprehensive Guide For children living with diabetes—especially those who are highly active, involved in sports, or frequently swimming—managing blood glucose can be uniquely challenging. Traditional glucose monitoring devices, including continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and finger-stick meters, are often sensitive to moisture, sweat, and impact, creating […]
Review of the latest needle-free blood sugar monitoring skin patches
Needle-Free Blood Sugar Monitoring: A Deep Review of the Latest Skin Patch Technologies For decades, people with diabetes have relied on finger-prick blood tests or minimally invasive continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) with tiny sensors placed just under the skin. While these have dramatically improved diabetes management, the quest for truly non-invasive, needle-free glucose monitoring continues […]
