Life-saving devices for children with type 1 diabetes: Access and importance

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects thousands of children around the world. This requires rigorous daily management to keep blood sugar within normal limits, thus preventing serious complications. Because type 1 diabetes is a disease that requires lifelong treatment, modern devices, such as insulin pumps and continuous blood glucose monitoring sensors, become vital to ensure superior quality of life and reduce the risk of complications.

Essential devices include insulin pumps and blood sugar sensors. Insulin pumps ensures continuous and precise administration of insulin, imitating the body’s natural way of regulating blood sugar. Continuous blood glucose monitoring sensors (CGM) provides a real-time picture of blood glucose levels, allowing parents and children to monitor fluctuations and intervene quickly in case of hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia.

Importance of monitoring devices for children with diabetes

Children with type 1 diabetes need constant and accurate blood glucose monitoring to avoid complications caused by hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar). Among the most useful monitoring devices are:

  1. Continuous blood sugar (CGM) monitors: These devices allow automatic blood glucose measurement at regular intervals, providing real-time alerts on dangerous changes in blood sugar. CGMs significantly reduce the risk of severe episodes and provide essential data for regulating insulin doses.
  2. Insulin pumps: These devices administer precise insulin doses during the day, helping to keep your blood sugar constant. Insulin pumps also allow doses to be adjusted according to the child’s daily activities and specific needs.
  3. Diabetes management applications and platforms: Thanks to modern applications, parents and children can easily monitor their blood sugar, physical activity and food intake to adjust treatment. At the same time, these applications allow efficient collaboration between family members and the medical team.
