Description
Laura Palermo and a large team of co-authors wrote this 2026 scoping review on why people with type 1 diabetes do or do not use advanced devices. Pumps, continuous glucose monitors, and automated insulin delivery are now standard care. Yet access is uneven, and outcomes differ by group.
The team searched four databases for studies from 2000 to 2025 and kept 303 of them, covering more than 1.8 million participants. Fixed traits tied most often to device use were minority status, age, and sex. Modifiable barriers and helpers were sorted with a behavior framework to guide action. The review maps where the gaps sit and which levers clinics and policy can actually pull.
