Children missed fewer days of school (287 vs 30 days/100 person-years, P < 0.001) and parents missed fewer days of work (247 vs 47 days/100 person-years, P < 0.001).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>One-year use of Control-IQ was associated with improved glycemic management, more diabetes-related quality of life and fewer school/work absences.</p>","PeriodicalId":50238,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism","volume":" ","pages":"3331-3341"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144013549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
