The purpose of this study is to examine differences in parenting styles between mothers of children with type 1 diabetes and mothers of healthy children and to explore relationships between parenting styles and glycemic control of children with diabetes. Mothers of 63 children with diabetes and mothers of 83 children without diabetes reported their parenting styles using the Blocks’ Child Rearing Practices Report, when their child was 9–10 years old. Glycemic control of the children with diabetes was evaluated 1 year after diagnosis (<6 years of age) and at the time of the study (at 9–10 years). Mothers of children with diabetes used more psychological control than mothers of healthy children. Among girls with diabetes, poorer early glycemic control was associated with mothers’ subsequent greater use of psychological control. Behavioral control was positively associated with poorer current glycemic control. In boys, psychological control was positively associated with poorer current glycemic control. Psychological control in families with diabetes needs attention, because it has shown to be associated with poorer diabetes care.

Abstract Background Compulsive Internet use has emerged as a contemporary addictive behavior. Our aim was to investigate the reasons for Greek adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and their families to use the Internet and additionally to investigate the level of Internet use and its associations to demographic, socio-economic parameters and glycemic control. Methods Patients with T1DM, aged >12 years and their parents were recruited during their regular visits to the Pediatric Diabetes Clinic. A similar group of healthy children, age- and sex-matched served as a control group. All participants were asked to fill out the Greek translated version of the Internet Addiction Test (IAT). Caregivers of patients with T1DM were asked to complete a second questionnaire consisting of questions regarding demographic and socio-economic data of the family and data concerning disease management. Results Thirty-five patients with T1DM (mean decimal age of 14.95 ± 1.90 years) and 35 controls participated in the study. Nine patients were on an insulin pump whereas the rest were on multiple daily injections. The mean total score of the patients’ IAT questionnaires was significantly lower compared to the controls (26.26 ± 12.67 vs. 39.91 ± 18.55, p = 0.003). Controls were characterized as exhibiting moderate addictive behavior at a significantly higher percentage than patients (31.43% vs. 2.86%, p = 0.002). All patients on insulin pumps demonstrated normal Internet use. Mild addictive behavior was associated with a lower parental educational level. Finally, level of Internet use (IAT score) was positively associated to glycemic control (HbA1c value) with a correlation that was approaching significance (r = 0.315, p = 0.065). Conclusions Adolescents with T1DM and especially those on an insulin pump exhibit normal Internet use compared to their healthy peers. Time consumed on Internet correlates reversibly with glycemic control.

Abstract Context Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with an increased fracture risk at all ages. Objective To understand the determinants of bone health and fractures in children with T1D. Design Case-control study of children with T1D on bone-turnover markers, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and 3 Tesla-MRI of the proximal tibia to assess bone microarchitecture and vertebral marrow adiposity compared with age- and sex-matched healthy children. Results Thirty-two children with T1D at a median (range) age of 13.7 years (10.4, 16.7) and 26 controls, aged 13.8 years (10.2, 17.8), were recruited. In children with T1D, serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) SD score (SDS), C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen SDS, and total body (TB) and lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) SDS were lower (all P < 0.05). Children with T1D also had lower trabecular volume [0.55 (0.47, 0.63) vs 0.59 (0.47, 0.63); P = 0.024], lower trabecular number [1.67 (1.56, 1.93) vs 1.82 (1.56, 1.99); P = 0.004], and higher trabecular separation [0.27 (0.21, 0.32) vs 0.24 (0.20, 0.33); P = 0.001] than controls. Marrow adiposity was similar in both groups (P = 0.25). Bone formation, as assessed by BAP, was lower in children with poorer glycemic control (P = 0.009) and who were acidotic at initial presentation (P = 0.017) but higher in children on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (P = 0.025). Fractures were more likely to be encountered in children with T1D compared with controls (31% vs 19%; P< 0.001). Compared with those without fractures, the T1D children with a fracture history had poorer glycemic control (P = 0.007) and lower TB BMD (P < 0.001) but no differences in bone microarchitecture. Conclusion Children with T1D display a low bone-turnover state with reduced bone mineralization and poorer bone microarchitecture.
