While there was no difference between glucometrics for SUEDs and non-SUEDs on primary outcomes, HbA1C was found to be a less reliable predictor of glucose patterns in the 24-h period following substance use than control days. Young adults with T1D need to monitor and respond to their glucose levels following substance use and engage in harm minimisation practices irrespective of baseline glucose control.
