Four-Week SkinSiteStudy in Type 1 Diabetes

Using insulin pumps and sensors to monitor blood glucose has become standard of care for children with diabetes. The continous infusion of insulin in the subcutaneous tissue leads to increased risk of lipohypertrophy that might influence insulin absorption. We are in this study using ultrasound to detect subcutaneous hyperechogenicity to guide rotation of insulin infusion and investigate if avoidance of areas with hyperechogenicity improve insulin absorption seen as decrease in insulin needs.
