What Strategies Can Be Used for Improved Glycemic Control?
Various strategies can be implemented to achieve improved glycemic control in pediatric patients:
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM): CGM devices provide real-time data on blood glucose levels, allowing for timely adjustments in insulin therapy and lifestyle. Insulin Pump Therapy: Insulin pumps can deliver continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, offering more precise and flexible insulin administration. Dietary Management: A balanced diet with appropriate carbohydrate counting and meal planning is critical for stabilizing blood sugar levels. Exercise: Regular physical activity helps improve insulin sensitivity and overall glycemic control. Education and Support: Ongoing education for both the patient and their family about diabetes management is vital for long-term success.
