Smartphone-Free Childhood? Monitoring the Implications of Initiatives to Remove Smartphones for Children With Type 1 Diabetes

Automated insulin delivery (AID) systems are often considered gold-standard care for children with type 1 diabetes.

Smartphones can also be used to monitor glucose levels and provide quick and easy contact between children with type 1 diabetes and their parents or caregivers, who typically play a significant role in their health care.
