Specifically, it aimed to identify the types of technologies used, who is responsible for managing and supporting their use, and the benefits and challenges associated with their use during the school day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction: &lt;/strong&gt;Technological advances in diabetes care have revolutionized the management of diabetes, but their integration into school settings introduces new challenges for children, parents, and school staff. Evidence about their use during the primary school day remains fragmented.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eligibility criteria: &lt;/strong&gt;Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies, as well as systematic reviews, that included children aged 6 to 12 years or their parents and focused on the use of diabetes technologies in the primary school environment were eligible for inclusion. Gray literature was also considered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;A search for relevant records was conducted in April 2025 across CINAHL Ultimate (EBSCOhost), Embase (Embase.com), MEDLINE (EBSCOhost), Web of Science Core Collection, and Google Scholar. Gray and unpublished literature were searched in ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global and Google Scholar. Two reviewers independently screened titles, and abstracts, and full-text sources. The findings are presented in tables, accompanied by a basic content analysis and a descriptive narrative summary based on the review questions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Twenty-three studies were included in this review: 15 qualitative studies, 4 quantitative studies, and 4 mixed methods studies. Studies were conducted in multiple countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Canada, Poland, Belgium, and Turkey. There were also 2 multicountry sources. Publication years ranged from 2004 to 2025. Results from child and parent reports showed that continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion devices, continuous glucose monitoring, flash glucose monitoring, and hybrid closed-loop systems are being used by children in the primary school environment. These technologies are managed during the school day through a collaborative approach, involving the children, their parents, and various school personnel. The benefits of using diabetes technology in the primary school environment were identified across 4 main categories: i) improved school participation, academic engagement, and social-emotional well-being; ii) increased independence, confidence, and self-management; iii) enhanced safety and monitoring; and iv) reduced burden on parents and school staff.

The initial search was conducted in July 2023 and repeated in September 2024. The search was not limited by language, global context, or publication date. Following the pilot tests, the titles/abstracts and full texts were screened independently by reviewers in dyads. The data were extracted using a data extraction tool developed by JBI and modified by the review team to capture the year of publication, country of origin, setting, study methods, and findings related to the review questions. The review findings are reported as a descriptive summary, with tables and figures supporting the data.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The search identified 11,495 sources, of which 56 were included. The included sources were published between 2005 and 2025 and were conducted across 5 countries. Sources included mixed methods study design, qualitative research design, narrative inquiry method design, descriptive phenomenology qualitative study design, cross-sectional study design, case study, quantitative study design, pre-/post-test methods (such as randomized controlled trials), and ethnography research design. The online resources were divided into 4 categories: games, apps, social media, and online educational resources/open-access websites. Many GIaNT+ youth use various online resources to access information about their puberty health and sex education needs.
