“…A more recent study raised similar concerns about the diabetes technology education of adult healthcare providers [42]. The use of online interactive case-based education among paediatric endocrinology trainees was an effective strategy to improve knowledge, confidence and patient care related to CGM use [43].…”

Purpose of reviewThis article reviews recent developments in methods used to monitor paediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D), including an examination of the role of glycated haemoglobin (haemoglobin A1c) and its limitations for long-term assessment of glycaemia in individual patients, self-monitoring of blood glucose, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems and ketone monitoring. Recent findingsMonitoring of glycemia and ketones, when indicated, is a cornerstone of paediatric T1D management and is essential to optimize glycaemic control. Ongoing technological advancements have led to rapid changes and considerable improvement in the methods used to monitor glucose concentrations in people with T1D. As a result of recent innovations that have enhanced accuracy and usability, CGM is now considered the optimal method for monitoring glucose concentrations and should be introduced soon after diagnosis of T1D. SummaryPatients/families and healthcare providers must receive comprehensive education and proper training in the use of CGM and interpretation of the vast amounts of data. Future challenges include ensuring equal access to and optimizing clinical use of CGM to further improve T1D care and outcomes.

“…117 A subsequent study of pediatric endocrine fellows (n = 64) in North America employed case-based vignettes with 20 multiple choice questions on either CGM or pump therapy delivered either via email or a mobile app. 118 Both curricula were effective in increasing the pre-to post-test assessment of knowledge base and participants found this method of education engaging. 118 This suggests potential for providers to be trained on these technologies through user-driven online learning modules.…”
