The following data were collected yearly: treatment type, CGM use, anthropometrics, HbA1c, and CGM metrics. Statistical inference was performed using linear mixed models adjusting for age, sex, age at T1D onset, and therapy type. Additionally, the participants were compared to matched controls from a nationwide pediatric diabetes registry.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The median HbA1c decreased significantly from 58.0 mmol\/mol, 7.5% (IQR 49.0-73.0, 6.6\u20138.8%) to 52 mmol\/mol, 6.9% (IQR 48\u201364 mmol\/mol, 6.5\u20138.0%) over 3 years (P&amp;lt;0.001). We observed a significant increase in CGM use (46.4% to 95.5%) and insulin pump use, from 8.0% (no AID systems) to 63.6% (only AID systems) (both P&amp;lt;0.001). The trend in HbA1c decline depended on the therapy type, the estimated effect of AID initiation was \u22125.39 mmol\/mol (95% CI \u221210.12 to \u22120.65 mmol\/mol) (P\u00a0=\u00a00.003). The mean time in range (TIR) of CwD who initiated AID was not significantly different from that of matched non-migrant controls (73.4% vs. 71.0%, P\u00a0=\u00a00.420), while those using insulin pens had a lower TIR than controls (51.8% vs. 62.9%, P\u00a0=\u00a00.003).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
