Most youth with type 1 diabetes in the T1D Exchange Clinic Registry do not meet American Diabetes Association or International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes clinical guidelines. Diabetes Care. 2013;36(7):2035–7. doi:10.2337/dc12-1959. This article demonstrates that even before the pediatric glycemic goals of the ADA changed, most youth were not achieving recommended hemoglobin A1c levels.

Diabetes Care. 2012;35(6):1219–24. doi:10.2337/dc11-2163. This article finds that blood glucose monitoring frequency can be used as a surrogate for treatment adherence and that declining adherence to therapy leads to worsening glycemic control. Notably, the article also demonstrates that glycemic control should not be used as a surrogate for adherence to therapy.
