Younger Onset of T2DM Tied to Poorer Initial Glycemic Control
Adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes between the ages of 21 and 44 years have higher initial hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and a lower likelihood of achieving glycemic control within one year of diagnosis versus patients diagnosed in middle age.
Importance of Temporal Glucose Profiles During Pregnancy in Type 1 Diabetes
Applying functional data analysis to continuous glucose monitoring data can assist in identifying differences in maternal glucose control during pregnancy, which might go unnoticed using standard metrics.
