Risk for ketonaemia in type 1 diabetes pregnancies with sensor-augmented pump therapy with predictive low glucose suspend compared to low glucose suspend: an open-label crossover RCT

Nes Falco van , Chantal Mathieu , Annouschka Laenen , Pieter Gillard , Katrien Benhalima

Background: Little is known about the influence of the Predictive Low Glucose suspend (PLGS) function of Sensor Augmented Pump therapy on ketone production in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), compared to the Low Glucose Suspend function. To evaluate the effect, we compared the frequency of elevated ketone levels, the duration of insulin infusion suspension, the glycaemic control and patient satisfaction between the two settings.Methodology:...

Objective: We investigated if a positive thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO Ab) status before radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy in patients with GravesÂ’ hyperthyroidism is a predictive factor for developing hypothyroidism after RAI.Methods: We performed a retrospective study of patients with GravesÂ’ hyperthyroidism with known TPO Ab status, receiving a first administration of RAI. Patients from 4 thyroid outpatient centres in Belgium receiving a f...
