Summary: The development of habit and automaticity for goal-directed health behaviors can improve daily health behavior engagement. Higher perceived automaticity for diabetes self-management was associated with better self-management, fewer self-regulation failures in glucose checking, and lower average daily blood glucose levels in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes. Further research is needed to explore the benefits and mechanisms of automaticity for diabetes self-management.

Summary: This study aimed to explore adolescent perspectives on communicating about self-management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and negotiating responsibilities for self-management with parents. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 28 adolescents living with T1D, and two themes and five subthemes were identified. The findings highlight the importance of how adolescents perceive communication with their parents in negotiating self-management responsibilities during adolescence.

Summary: This study investigated specific domains of diabetes distress and associated factors among adolescents with type 1 diabetes in China, finding that adolescents experienced the highest levels of distress in regimen-related and physician-related domains. Older age, female gender, more diabetes problem-solving, and higher perceived stress were associated with higher regimen-related distress.

Summary: This study compared glycemic control in adults with type 1 diabetes using different basal insulins during travel across multiple time zones. The results showed that there was no significant difference in glycemic outcomes between the two insulin options.

Summary: Diabetes mellitus is associated with impaired immune response and increases the risk of severe infectious diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected diabetes patients, especially those with comorbidities or poor glycemic control. Advanced tools for glycemic management and improved metabolic control can mitigate the negative impact of infections in pediatric diabetes.

Summary: This article reviews recent developments in methods used to monitor paediatric type 1 diabetes, with a focus on the importance of glucose and ketone monitoring, particularly continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). CGM is now considered the optimal method for monitoring glucose concentrations and should be introduced soon after diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Comprehensive education and training are necessary for patients and healthcare providers to utilize and interpret the data provided by CGM.

Summary: This study investigated the efficacy of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring in patients with type 1 diabetes. The results showed that compared to traditional fingerstick testing, the use of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring significantly reduced glycated hemoglobin levels and improved blood glucose control.

Summary: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease driven by T cells, and immunotherapies using monoclonal antibodies (mAb) can selectively reestablish beta cell-specific self-tolerance. mAb have varying efficacy in modulating autoimmunity and can alter the function of immune effector cells.

Summary: This study investigated the associations between parent-reported and child-reported diabetes distress (DD), type 1 diabetes (T1D) device use, and child glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in 157 families of school-age children. The results showed that parent DD level is a strong predictor of child HbA1c, suggesting that it can be targeted for lowering child HbA1c.

Summary: Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease caused by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, and individuals with this disease rely on insulin for survival. Despite advancements, the burden of this disease remains high. Research shows that blocking the immune attack on beta cells holds promise in preserving endogenous insulin production.

Summary: This study examined the role of attentional bias in type 1 diabetes management, and found that intervention led to greater reductions in attentional bias compared to usual care control, partially mediating the effect on diabetes management behaviors. Attentional bias in type 1 diabetes is a potential target for improving diabetes management.

Summary: The study found that depressive symptoms indirectly predicted higher HbA1c four years later among T1DM patients, while anxiety symptoms did not. Depressive symptoms were associated with suboptimal self-care behavior and glycemic outcomes, while anxiety symptoms did not have this predictive ability.
