When the summer camp ends: Short-term, post-camp deterioration of glycemic control in youth with type 1 diabetes
Authors' conclusion
Children and adolescents with T1D maintain adequate glycemic control during camp, but experience a transient post-camp deterioration, underscoring the need for monitoring and individualized support during the week following camp.
Study context
- Population
- Children and adolescents with T1D using MiniMed™ CSII systems (sensor-augmented or AID), attending a seven-day summer diabetes camp in Greece (2019–2025)
- Participants
- 93 children
- Exposure
- Post-camp week vs camp week vs pre-camp week
- Outcome
- Short-term post-camp glycemic deterioration (glycemic metrics)
- Follow-up
- Post-camp week
Methodological detailsretrospective analysis
- Retrospective analysis
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
TIR (70-180 mg/dL)
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
| Outcome | Camp | Post-camp |
|---|---|---|
| Glucose variability (CV) · camp | 35.21 % | — not stated in the abstract |
| Insulin dosing, carbohydrate intake, infusion set changes · post-camp | 41.13 units/day | |
| TDD per kg | — not stated in the abstract | 0.84 U/kg |
— not stated in the abstract
- Post-camp TIR by pump: MiniMed™780G vs MiniMed™640G · TIR 70.02 % vs. 55.43 %; better post-camp control with 780G
- P < 0.001
Glucose variability (CV) · camp
- Glucose variability peaked during camp
Insulin dosing, carbohydrate intake, infusion set changes · post-camp
- Post-camp: more meals and carbohydrates, higher total daily insulin
- TDD/Carbs ratio remained stable
- Infusion set changes less frequent during camp
