Quality of life

The use of the Cambridge hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system by older adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus is associated with “improved quality of life,” says an international team of researchers.

Many people still have an excellent quality of life after 40 or 50 years of living with type 1 diabetes, show findings from the French JUBILE study.

Randomized trial findings presented at the virtual 56th EASD Annual Meeting suggest that spinal cord stimulation may provide pain relief for people with painful diabetic neuropathy and an inadequate response to conventional treatment.

The Flexible Lifestyles Empowering Change intervention has failed to improve glycated hemoglobin levels in a randomized trial involving adolescents with type 1 diabetes, despite improving some psychosocial outcomes.

People with type 1 diabetes are approximately twice as likely to experience gastrointestinal symptoms as those without, and these symptoms are associated with poor glycemic control and quality of life, study results suggest.
