Background: Technological advances in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) should aim to improve glucose control and quality of life in patients diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1D).Aim: The aim of our study was to compare different CGM and CSII devices on these targets.Methods: Sixty-nine T1D patients (mean age 39±12; 31 males) were recruited. 36 were on multiple daily insulin inj...

Background: carbohydrate counting is often performed inaccurately by patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). We hypothesized that mobile App ‘Dietrometro’, that estimates CHO content of food figures, would ameliorate glucose control.Aim: To study the effect of ‘Dietometro’ on glucose control.Methods: 54 T1D subjects (aged 18-60 years, 26 males), on multiple daily injections (n=23) or continuous subcutaneou...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) after roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is poorly described. The diagnosis can be difficult as secondary hyperparathyroidism(SHPT) commonly occurs in patients after RYGB due to calcium hypoabsorption and vitamin D deficiency.Observation: We present the case of a 50-year-old female with a history of normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism and nephrolithiasis. In 2005 the patient had undergone RYGB. During the first...
