Are we confident that final‐year medical students know at least basics about diabetes?: A preliminary report from the multicenter, survey‐based Diabe…

Abstract Background We present the results of the pilot study of a multinational “Diabetes Know‐Me” project investigating knowledge regarding diabetes of medical students. This is the first collaborative project of the ISPAD JENIOUS group. Methods Students of the final year of medical studies from six countries answered a 25‐question survey regarding basic knowledge concerning diabetes (1091 surveys handed out, response rate 86%). Results Among the responders (58% female) 90% confirmed attending diabetology classes; 11% planned to specialize in diabetology. There were significant differences between countries in the median score of correct answers ranging from 10/25 to 22/25. Attending diab…
Continuous glucose monitoring use and glucose variability in very young children with type 1 diabetes (VibRate): A multinational prospective observat…
2021
While data on the efficacy and safety of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) exist across a broad age spectrum, it is limited in very young children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). We aimed to assess real-world data in this high-risk population, focusing on glycemic variability and metrics beyond HbA1c. A 12-month multi-national, prospective, observational, registry-based cohort study in children with T1D aged 1-7 years compared glucose control using real-time CGM and using fingerstick blood glucose monitoring (BGM) alone. The prespecified primary endpoint was a difference in coefficient of variation (CV) between the CGM users and BGM-only cohort. Among 227 individuals using insulin pumps (42% …
