Performance of several large language models when answering common patient questions about type 1 diabetes in children: accuracy, comprehensibility and practicality

This study demonstrated that all evaluated LLMs performed similarly in answering common questions about T1D. LLMs such as ChatGPT-4o and Gemini Advanced can provide above-average, accurate, and patient-friendly answers to common questions about T1D. Although no significant differences were observed, the latest versions of LLMs show promise for integration into healthcare, provided they continue to be evaluated and improved. Further research should focus on developing specialized LLMs tailored for pediatric diabetes care.
