Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diabetes Mellitus type 1 (T1DM) represents one of the most prevalent chronic conditions affecting children and adolescents worldwide. Despite significant advancements in therapeutics and technology in diabetes management, achieving and maintaining optimal glycemic control in pediatric and adolescent population remains a clinical challenge and an emerging public health issue. The interplay of developmental, psychosocial, and physiological factors uniquely complicates diabetes management during early life stages.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue “Optimizing Glycemic Management in Pediatric Populations with Type 1 Diabetes: Challenges and Advances”. This newly launched issue seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest research, innovations, and clinical insights into glycemic control among youth with T1DM. It also aims to offer a range of pluralistic contributions examining novel therapeutic strategies, advances in technology integration in the disease management, and individualized approaches to effective glycemic control.
Original research articles and reviews are welcomed. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) all aspects related to glycemic control in children and adolescents with T1DM. Emphasis will be given to studies addressing precision medicine approaches, barriers to effective care, and strategies to improve long-term outcomes of the disease. Through this Special Issue, we aspire to foster academic excellence and advance standards of care for children and adolescents diagnosed and living with T1DM.
We look forward to your contributions.
