Description
Paull and colleagues used continuous glucose monitor data in 2026 to compare school hours with holidays for primary school children with type 1 diabetes in Western Australia. The population study covered 235 children, averaging nine and a half years old and about four years since diagnosis, over one 12-week stretch spanning a school term and the following holidays. School routine, staff support, and fixed meal times were the suspected drivers.
Children spent 58.0 percent of school hours in the target glucose range, clearly better than the 53.5 percent logged in the same hours during holidays. Weekends during term sat between the two at 56.6 percent, also below the school figure in the paired comparisons made by the team. Low glucose time stayed under 4 percent in every period, and the authors read the pattern as evidence that structured school days steady control rather than endangering it.
