Core Tip

Core Tip: There are several reviews in the literature discussing the difficulties or solutions to the life of children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, this is the first review to collect and analyse the latest studies on which sub-groups of children with T1D are more likely to be influenced, how the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic affects the treatment of children with T1D and the life of their caregivers, and what measures are supposed to be applied to deal with these dilemmas.
