Caregiver Burden and an Artifact-Associated Glycemic Instability Cycle in Pediatric Hybrid Closed-Loop Therapy: A Case Report

Caregiver Burden and an Artifact-Associated Glycemic Instability Cycle in Pediatric Hybrid Closed-Loop Therapy: A Case Report

Hybrid closed-loop (HCL) systems improve glycemic outcomes in pediatric type 1 diabetes but transform rather than eliminate caregiver burden in selected real-world contexts. This case-based analysis describes a selected 14-day real-world observation of a 10-year-old child using an HCL system. Despite improved glycemic stability, active nocturnal interventions were required in 85.7% of observed nights.
