Every decision a child with type 1 diabetes makes can impact on their blood glucose levels.
The use of continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMSs) with low-glucose alarms is advocated as a means to decrease the risk of hypoglycemia in type-1 Diabetes
The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children is a public health problem because of future morbidity.
The objective of this study was to determine whether real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with preset alarms at specific glucose levels would prove...
