In young children with type 1 diabetes (T1D), bedtime snacking appears to result in higher nocturnal glucose values and reduced time in range (TIR), without decreasing the frequency of hypoglycaemia, according to a randomized controlled crossover trial.

Transition model eases move from paediatric to adult care for cSLE patients

11 Dec 2025 by

A recent study has demonstrated the effectiveness of a structured paediatric-adult dyad transition care model in encouraging prompt initial attendance and ensuring continuity of care for patients with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) during the critical transition from paediatric to adult healthcare.

X-linked hypophosphataemia: Multidisciplinary care needed, targeted therapy effectively normalizes phosphate homeostasis

11 Dec 2025

Management of X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) has evolved in the past few years following the availability of burosumab, a fully humanized monoclonal antibody targeting circulating fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), which has changed the landscape of XLH management, a panel of experts who spoke at EDM HK 2025 concurred.

Epilepsy risk elevated in children with congenital Zika syndrome

10 Dec 2025 by

New research suggests that in-utero exposure to Zika virus (ZIKV) alone does not increase the risk of epilepsy in early childhood, and the risk increase is limited to children who develop congenital Zika syndrome.

CGM cuts hospitalizations due to DKA, severe hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia crisis in young diabetes patients

08 Dec 2025 by

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in young diabetes patients not only improves HbA_1c levels, but also substantially reduces hospitalizations due to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), severe hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia crisis, researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) have reported.
