Adolescent‐Initiated Retrospective Glucose Data Review is Associated With Improved Glycemia in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Authors' conclusion
Self-report of retrospective glucose data review was associated with improved glycemia as measured by HbA1c and TIR. Adolescent-initiated glucose data self-review does not appear to be driven by fear of hypoglycemia (FoH).

Factors associated with review status
- Age, sex, race, type of insurance and CGM use not associated with retrospective review status
Hypoglycemia Fear Survey scores
- No difference in Hypoglycemia Fear Survey (HFS) scores between reviewers and nonreviewers, incl. behavioral subscale, worry subscale and total score
