The clinical presentation of FD can vary widely, complicating the diagnosis. FD can manifest as monostotic (single bone) or polyostotic (multiple bones) disease and can occur independently or as part of McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS), a genetic condition that includes café-au-lait skin hyperpigmentation and endocrine abnormalities. FD/MAS arises from activating mutations in the <i>GNAS</i> gene, leading to constitutive activation of the G_sα protein and elevated cAMP levels. Despite understanding the genetic cause of FD, effective treatments remain limited. Current management strategies focus primarily on symptom control following the most recent comprehensive guidelines published in 2019. This review highlights emerging pharmacologic treatments, including denosumab, a monoclonal antibody that has shown promise in reducing lesion size and pain in FD patients, and burosumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting FGF23, which reduces renal phosphate wasting and osteomalacia in FD patients. In addition, we review updates in advanced genetic testing techniques, such as cell-free DNA and direct lesion sampling for next-generation sequencing, which are promising methods for improving the diagnostic accuracy of FD. Finally, multimodal approaches for pain management in FD, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, bisphosphonates, and novel agents like cannabinoids, are being used alongside the traditional approaches with physical therapy and psychological support. Ongoing research aims to enhance our understanding of FD pathogenesis and develop targeted therapies that could potentially reverse disease progression.

Hypoglycaemia is the consequence of the interaction between absolute or relative insulin excess from treatment and compromised physiological defences against falling plasma glucose. With a longer duration of diabetes and repeated exposure to hypoglycaemia, pwT1D can develop impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH). IAH increases the risk of severe hypoglycaemia six-fold, causing significant morbidity, and, if left untreated, death. Over the last few decades, a stepwise change in diabetes management has been the introduction and widespread uptake of novel technologies, including continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems. These technologies aim to improve glycaemic control whilst minimising hypoglycaemia. Alarms and safety functions, such as suspension of insulin delivery, can help to reduce the hypoglycaemia burden. This review examines the role of continuous glucose monitors and AID systems in managing IAH, exploring evidence for their impact on symptomatic awareness and identifying areas for future research. In conclusion, there is strong evidence that CGM and AID systems improve glycaemic control and reduce the hypoglycaemia burden.
