AbstractThe aim of the study was to investigate factors related to the occurrence of nighttime hypoglycemia after a football tournament in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The multicenter study (GoalDiab study) included 189 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus, from 11 diabetes care centers in Poland. Hypoglycemia was defined according to the International Hypoglycemia Study Group Statement. We analyzed the data of 95 participants with completed protocols with regards to nighttime hypoglycemia (82% male), aged 11.6 (9.8–14.2) years, diabetes duration 5.0 (2.0–8.0) years. There were 47 episodes of nighttime Level 1 hypoglycemia (≤3.9 mmol/L). Occurrence of clinically important Level 2 hypoglycemia (<3.0 mmol/L) during a game period was positively associated with nighttime hypoglycemia (≤3.9 mmol/L) incident (Odds Ratio=10.7; 95% Confidence Interval: 1.1–100.2; p=0.04). Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring was negatively associated with the occurrence of nighttime hypoglycemia (≤3.9 mmol/L) compared with using glucose meters or Flash Glucose Monitoring (Odds Ratio=0.31; 95% Confidence Interval: 0.12–0.83; p=0.02). The occurrence of clinically important hypoglycemia related to physical activity is associated with the occurrence of hypoglycemia during the night. Continuous Glucose Monitoring is negatively associated with nighttime hypoglycemia after a day of competition.

Patient Use

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems, available for patient use since 1999, and realtime continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) systems, available since 2006, have helped optimize diabetes management. Previously, RT-CGM studies found benefits mainly in patients with type 1 diabetes over the age of 25. Children and adolescents often present a challenge when managing type 1 diabetes. However, it is now apparent that RT-CGM has clear benefits in these age groups as well as in adults. Not only have studies shown improvements in glycemic control in this population, they have also demonstrated parental satisfaction with the technology. Challenges with RT-CGM use still exist and must be addressed. Nevertheless, RT-CGM is a beneficial tool to assist in diabetes management, and its use should be encouraged in the majority of pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes.
