Aim To evaluate the effects of Alimentación Normal con Ajuste de Insulina (ANAIS), a group‐based, therapeutic education programme for Type 1 diabetes based on a flexible insulin regimen adjusted to the individual's food intake. Methods Participants with Type 1 diabetes and HbA1c levels of 53–86 mmol/mol (7–10%) were recruited from outpatient clinics at a tertiary care centre. They were randomized (using opaque, sealed envelopes, with a 2:1 treatment allocation ratio) to attend the training course immediately (immediate ANAIS; intervention group) or a year later (delayed ANAIS; control group). The main outcome was HbA1c level at 1 year. Secondary outcomes included lipid levels, weight, hypoglycaemic events, insulin dose, treatment satisfaction, self‐perceived dietary freedom, quality of life and participant‐defined goals. Results A total of 48 participants were assigned to the intervention group and 32 to the control group. Twelve months after completing the training, adjusted HbA1c was not significantly different in the intervention group [64 ± 1.3 vs 68 ± 1.6 mmol/mol (8.0 ±0.1% vs 8.4 ±0.1%); P=0.081]. Treatment satisfaction was significantly higher in the intervention group, but no differences were found in hypoglycaemic events, weight, insulin dose or changes in dietary freedom. At 1 year after the intervention, 72% of the participants (vs 33% in the control group; P=0.046) reported exceeding their expectations regarding achievement of their main personal goal. Conclusion Promoting dietary freedom and empowering people with Type 1 diabetes through structured education programmes, such as ANAIS, improves treatment satisfaction and self‐defined goals. No significant improvement in HbA1c level was achieved.

Treatment with ketoconazole during the critical period of organogenesis did not cause congenital birth defects to the male fetus of a woman with Cushing's disease. This report should be taken into account for future cases of unplanned pregnancies in women with Cushing's syndrome treated with ketoconazole, as well in those cases in which other therapeutic options are not feasible.
