| Abstract | Type 1 diabetes care may be very costly not only in terms of money but also in terms of psychological and therapeutic acceptance and compliance. Recently, a lot of new technologies have been introduced in the care of patients with type 1 diabetes that should allow them to achieve an improvement in glycemic control, quality of life and above all prevent long-term complications. Combining continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) provides a more useful tool for patients with type 1 diabetes, the sensor-augmented pump (SAP). The aim of the present review is to explore SAP efficacy and safety in young patients with type 1 diabetes. SAP demonstrated increased efficacy in lowering glycated hemoglobin when compared either to multiple daily injections or CSII alone. Its efficacy is positively associated with CGM use, baseline HbA1c and patients' age. According to currently available evidence, SAP seems sufficiently safe, effective and beneficial in improving glycemic control in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes. Moreover, encouraging results using semi-closed loop systems are emerging, paving the way toward a fully automated artificial pancreas. As pediatric diabetologists we have the duty to offer our patients the best therapeutic option currently available, supported by evidence, to help them gain the best results with the fewest adverse effects (hypoglycemia and/or diabetic ketoacidosis), better if chomping a little piece of dark chocolate. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
