Description
Lutgarda Bozzetto and nine co-authors wrote this 2025 study on blood sugar control in type 1 diabetes after the COVID-19 lockdowns. During lockdown, control in this group unexpectedly improved, with more time spent in the healthy glucose range. The team followed 207 adults for two years after lockdown to see whether the gain survived normal life, tracking sensor data and care patterns at set intervals.
The improvement held for the full two years: time in range stayed higher and dangerous highs and lows stayed rarer. Lifestyle habits, surveyed along the way, had largely settled back, so habits alone did not explain it. Telemedicine became the main care model in the period. The clearest gains belonged to patients who switched to advanced insulin delivery systems during those years. The authors read the episode as proof that better tools and remote care can lock in crisis-era gains.
