Abstract
Hypertension is increasing in children and warrants disease surveillance. We therefore sought to evaluate the validity of case definitions to identify pediatric hypertension in administrative healthcare data. Cases of hypertension in children 3-18 years of age were identified utilizing blood pressures recorded in the Manitoba Primary Care Research Network (MaPCReN) electronic medical record from 2014 to 2016. Prevalence of hypertension and associated clinical characteristics were determined. We then evaluated the validity of 18 case definitions combining outpatient physician visits (ICD9CM codes), hospital claims (ICD9CM/ICD10 codes) and antihypertensive use within 1-3 years of data housed at the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy. The MaPCReN database identified 241 children with hypertension and 4090 without (prevalence = 5.6%). The sensitivity of algorithms ranged between 0.18 and 0.51 and the specificity between 0.98 and 1.00. Pharmaceutical use increased the sensitivity of algorithms significantly. The algorithms with the highest sensitivity and area under the ROC curve were 1 or more hospitalization OR 1 or more physician claim OR 1 or more pharmaceutical record. Evaluating 2 years of data is recommended. Administrative data alone reflects diagnosis of hypertension with high specificity, but underestimate the true prevalence of this disease. Alternative data sources are therefore required for disease surveillance.

Abstract
Importance Treatment challenges exist for younger adults with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Health care coverage, access to, and use of diabetes care are not well delineated in these high-risk populations. Objective To compare patterns of health care coverage, access to, and use of diabetes care and determine their associations with glycemia among younger adults with T1D and with T2D. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study analyzed data from a survey that was jointly developed by 2 large, national cohort studies: the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth (SEARCH) study, an observational study of individuals with youth-onset T1D or T2D, and the Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study, a randomized clinical trial (2004-2011) followed by an observational study (2012-2020). The interviewer-directed survey was administered during in-person study visits in both studies between 2017 and 2019. Data analyses were performed between May 2021 and October 2022. Main Outcomes and Measures Survey questions addressed health care coverage, usual sources of diabetes care, and frequency of care use. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were assayed in a central laboratory. Patterns of health care factors and HbA1c levels were compared by diabetes type. Results The analysis included 1371 participants (mean [range] age, 25 [18-36] years; 824 females [60.1%]), of whom 661 had T1D and 250 had T2D from the SEARCH study and 460 had T2D from the TODAY study. Participants had a mean (SD) diabetes duration of 11.8 (2.8) years. More participants with T1D than T2D in both the SEARCH and TODAY studies reported health care coverage (94.7%, 81.6%, and 86.7%), access to diabetes care (94.7%, 78.1%, and 73.4%), and use of diabetes care (88.1%, 80.5%, and 73.6%). Not having health care coverage was associated with significantly higher mean (SE) HbA1c levels in participants with T1D in the SEARCH study (no coverage, 10.8% [0.5%]; public, 9.4% [0.2%]; private, 8.7% [0.1%]; P < .001) and participants with T2D from the TODAY study (no coverage, 9.9% [0.3%]; public, 8.7% [0.2%]; private, 8.7% [0.2%]; P = .004). Medicaid expansion vs without expansion was associated with more health care coverage (participants with T1D: 95.8% vs 90.2%; participants with T2D in SEARCH: 86.1% vs 73.9%; participants with T2D in TODAY: 93.6% vs 74.2%) and lower HbA1c levels (participants with T1D: 9.2% vs 9.7%; participants with T2D in SEARCH: 8.4% vs 9.3%; participants with T2D in TODAY: 8.7% vs 9.3%). The T1D group incurred higher median (IQR) monthly out-of-pocket expenses than the T2D group ($74.50 [$10.00-$309.00] vs $10.00 [$0-$74.50]). Conclusions and Relevance Results of this study suggested that lack of health care coverage and of an established source of diabetes care were associated with significantly higher HbA1c levels for participants with T1D, but inconsistent results were found for participants with T2D. Increased access to diabetes care (eg, through Medicaid expansion) may be associated with improved health outcomes, but additional strategies are needed, particularly for individuals with T2D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Concomitant diabetes mellitus and peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a complex disease process. This retrospective analysis of the National Inpatient Sample sought to understand trends in limb outcomes of this unique and prevalent cohort of patients. METHODS The National Inpatient Sample was queried between 2003 and 2017 for hospitalizations of patients with both type 2 diabetes mellitus and PAD. Trends in hospitalizations, limb outcomes, vascular interventions, and costs were analyzed. RESULTS There were 10,303,673 hospitalizations of patients with concomitant diabetes mellitus and PAD that were identified between 2003 and 2017. The prevalence of hospitalizations associated with this disease process increased from 1644 to 3228 per 100,000 hospitalizations, a 96.4% increase. This included an increase of 288 to 587 per 100,000 hospitalizations of patients aged 18 to 49 years old, which was accompanied by a 10.8% increase in minor amputations. Nontraumatic lower extremity amputations decreased overall. Black and Hispanic ethnicity were associated with an increased risk for amputation, along with Medicaid insurance and lower income quartile. Inpatient endovascular revascularization has increased over time with an associated decrease in open revascularization procedures. Amputation-related hospital costs significantly increased from $6.6 billion in 2003 to $14.8 billion in 2017. CONCLUSIONS An alarming increase of disease prevalence, negative in-hospital limb outcomes, and costs are seen in the current era in this analysis of patients with concurrent diabetes and PAD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Incidence is one of the most important epidemiologic indices in surveillance. However, determining incidence is complex and requires time-consuming cohort studies or registries with date of diagnosis. Estimating incidence from prevalence using mathematical relationships may facilitate surveillance efforts. The aim of this study was to examine whether a partial differential equation (PDE) can be used to estimate diabetes incidence from prevalence in youth. METHODS We used age-, sex-, and race/ethnicity-specific estimates of prevalence in 2001 and 2009 as reported in the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study. Using these data, a PDE was applied to estimate the average incidence rates of type 1 and type 2 diabetes for the period between 2001 and 2009. Estimates were compared to annual incidence rates observed in SEARCH. Precision of the estimates was evaluated using 95% bootstrap confidence intervals. RESULTS Despite the long period between prevalence measures, the estimated average incidence rates mirror the average of the observed annual incidence rates. Absolute values of the age-standardized sex- and type-specific mean relative errors are below 8%. CONCLUSIONS Incidence of diabetes can be accurately estimated from prevalence. Since only cross-sectional prevalence data is required, employing this methodology in future studies may result in considerable cost savings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To project the prevalence and number of youths with diabetes and trends in racial and ethnic disparities in the U.S. through 2060. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Based on a mathematical model and data from the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study for calendar years 2002-2017, we projected the future prevalence of type 1 and type 2 diabetes among youth aged <20 years while considering different scenarios of future trends in incidence. RESULTS The number of youths with diabetes will increase from 213,000 (95% CI 209,000; 218,000) (type 1 diabetes 185,000, type 2 diabetes 28,000) in 2017 to 239,000 (95% CI 209,000; 282,000) (type 1 diabetes 191,000, type 2 diabetes 48,000) in 2060 if the incidence remains constant as observed in 2017. Corresponding relative increases were 3% (95% CI -9%; 21%) for type 1 diabetes and 69% (95% CI 43%; 109%) for type 2 diabetes. Assuming that increasing trends in incidence observed between 2002 and 2017 continue, the projected number of youths with diabetes will be 526,000 (95% CI 335,000; 893,000) (type 1 diabetes 306,000, type 2 diabetes 220,000). Corresponding relative increases would be 65% (95% CI 12%; 158%) for type 1 diabetes and 673% (95% CI 362%; 1,341%) for type 2 diabetes. In both scenarios, substantial widening of racial and ethnic disparities in type 2 diabetes prevalence are expected, with the highest prevalence among non-Hispanic Black youth. CONCLUSIONS The number of youths with diabetes in the U.S. is likely to substantially increase in future decades, which emphasizes the need for prevention to attenuate this trend.

Missed meal boluses and poorer glycemic control impact on neurocognitive function may be associated with white matter integrity in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1141085.

Abstract
Background The notion that pediatric type 1 diabetes impacts brain function and structure early in life is of great concern. Neurological manifestations, including neurocognitive and behavioral symptoms, may be present from childhood, initially mild and undetectable in daily life. Despite intensive management and technological therapeutic interventions, most pediatric patients do not achieve glycemic control targets for HbA1c. One of the most common causes of such poor control and frequent transient hyperglycemic episodes may be lifestyle factors, including missed meal boluses. Objective The aim of this study was to assess the association between specific neurocognitive accomplishments-learning and memory, inhibition ability learning, and verbal and semantic memory-during meals with and without bolusing, correlated to diffusion tensor imaging measurements of major related tracts, and glycemic control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes compared with their healthy siblings of similar age. Study design and methods This is a case-control study of 12- to 18-year-old patients with type 1 diabetes (N = 17, 8 male patients, diabetes duration of 6.53 ± 4.1 years) and their healthy siblings (N = 13). All were hospitalized for 30 h for continuous glucose monitoring and repeated neurocognitive tests as a function of a missed or appropriate pre-meal bolus. This situation was mimicked by controlled, patient blinded manipulation of lunch pre-meal bolus administration to enable capillary glucose level of <180 mg/dl and to >240 mg/d 2 hours after similar meals, at a similar time. The diabetes team randomly and blindly manipulated post-lunch glucose levels by subcutaneous injection of either rapid-acting insulin or 0.9% NaCl solution before lunch. A specific neurocognitive test battery was performed twice, after each manipulation, and its results were compared, along with additional neurocognitive tasks administered during hospitalization without insulin manipulation. Participants underwent brain imaging, including diffusion tensor imaging and tractography. Results A significant association was demonstrated between glycemic control and performance in the domains of executive functions, inhibition ability, learning and verbal memory, and semantic memory. Inhibition ability was specifically related to food management. Poorer glycemic control (>8.3%) was associated with a slower reaction time. Conclusion These findings highlight the potential impairment of brain networks responsible for learning, memory, and controlled reactivity to food in adolescents with type 1 diabetes whose glycemic control is poor.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although mood and anxiety symptoms are common in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D), little research has described their worries across developmental stages or the strategies they use to cope with these worries. This secondary data analysis aimed to describe and characterize common T1D-related worries and coping strategies from middle childhood through young adulthood. METHODS Twenty-three youth (9 children, 7 adolescents, and 7 young adults) completed semistructured qualitative interviews about health-related quality of life. We coded interview transcripts using thematic analysis to generate common themes of diabetes-related worries and coping strategies. RESULTS Participants' worries fell into four major themes: Managing Blood Glucose, Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Management, Interpersonal Relationships, and Lifestyle Impact, and eight youth denied having diabetes-related worries. Coping strategies fell into the three major themes: Attempts to Change Source of Worry, Attempts to Change Reactions to Worry, and Attempts to Orient Away from the Worry. CONCLUSIONS Youths' worries about various aspects of living with and feeling able to self-manage diabetes are important to consider across pediatric development as they can impact youths' participation in daily activities and future plans. By adolescence, youth report longer-term worries about the health and lifestyle implications of diabetes. Youths' reported coping strategies are generally consistent with existing coping frameworks, though our data suggest some possible refinements. Social support emerged as an important coping strategy for all age groups. Thus, interventions supporting youth in building and strengthening their social networks may be particularly beneficial in helping youth cope with their diabetes-related worries across development.

Abstract
The study drew attention to the influence mechanism of propofol and lidocaine hydrochloride nanoemulsion (NE) in the retinal ganglion cell pathology in diabetic rats. Specifically, the propofollidocaine hydrochloride NE was prepared using the emulsification method. The microscope and
laser particle size analyser were used to observe the morphology and particle size of NE, respectively. Also, the viscosity of the NE and the recovery rate of the main ingredient were explored. 45 adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group (PBS control), model group (diabetes
model), and test group (diabetes model+propofol-lidocaine hydrochloride NE), with 15 rats in each group. The three groups were compared for the blood glucose, body weight, TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA levels in retinal tissue, and the number and apoptosis rate of ganglion
cells. It was found that the average particle size of the NE was 89.76 nm, the maximum absorption wavelength was 280.0 nm, and the viscosity was 106.49 N/m/s. The average recovery rate of propofol in NE was 99.91%, and that of lidocaine hydrochloride was 99.80%. At 12th week after modeling,
the blood glucose of the test group was lower versus the model group (P < 0.05); the blood glucose and body weight of rats in the control group were lower than those in the other two groups (P < 0.001). The test group exhibited lower mRNA levels of TNF-α and
IL-1β and apoptosis index of retinal ganglion cells versus the model group (P < 0.05). The model group showed a lower number of retinal ganglion cells versus the other two groups (P < 0.05). It was inferred that propofol-lidocaine hydrochloride NE of a small
particle size and good syringeability can notably reduce blood glucose, TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA levels, and retinal ganglion cell apoptosis index, and at the same time increase the number of retinal ganglion cells.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is the most common abnormal carbohydrate metabolism disorder affecting millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by hyperglycemia as a result of ß-cell destruction or dysfunction by both genetic and environmental factors. Over time chronic hyperglycemia leads to microvascular (i.e., retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy) and macrovascular (i.e., ischemic heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease) complications of diabetes. Diabetes complication trials showed the importance of achieving near-normal glycemic control to prevent and/or reduce diabetes-related morbidity and mortality. There is a staggering rate of increased incidence of diabetes in youth, raising concerns for future generations' health, quality of life and its enormous economic burden. Despite advancements in the technology, diabetes management remains cumbersome. Training individuals with diabetes to gain life-long survival skills requires a comprehensive and ongoing diabetes education by a multidisciplinary team. Diabetes education and training start at the time of diagnosis of diabetes and should be continuous throughout the course of disease. The goal is to empower the individuals and families to gain diabetes self-management skills. Diabetes education must be individualized depending on the individual's age, education, family dynamics, and support. In this article, we review the history of diabetes, etiopathogenesis and clinical presentation of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in children as well as adolescents. We then focus on diabetes management with education methods and materials.

An evaluation of renin-angiotensin system markers in youth with type 2 diabetes and associations with renal outcomes. Pediatr Diabetes 2020; 21:1102-1109. [PMID: 32657529 DOI: 10.1111/pedi.13081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2020] [Revised: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have high rates of obesity, hypertension and suboptimal glycemic control. We hypothesized that renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activation is present in youth with T2D and associated with poor glycemic control and renal outcomes. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis of 183 youth with T2D and 100 controls from the Improving renal Complications in Adolescents with T2D through REsearch cohort. Diabetes youth stratified by urine albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR) < or ≥2 mg/mmol. RAS levels measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and enzyme activities by synthetic substrates. In T2D, levels log transformed and Tobit linear regressions evaluated for associations with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), mean arterial pressure (MAP), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), ACR. RESULTS Youth were 14 to 15 years, with diabetes duration 1.7 to 1.8 years; 21.3% albuminuria. Serum: differences in plasma renin activity (<0.0001), and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity (P = .003) in T2D vs controls. Urine: higher ACE activity and ACE2 protein/activity (all P < .0001) in T2D, higher levels in T2D with albuminuria. Multivariable regressions: higher serum ACE activity (ß = 0.03, SE 0.01;P < .01), urine ACE activity (ß = 0.44, SE 0.18;P < .01), ACE2 (ß = 0.51, SE 0.19;P < .01) positively associated with HbA1c; urine angiotensinogen (AGT) negatively associated (ß = -0.28 [SE 0.06;P < .01]). Higher serum aldosterone (ß = 0.11 [SE 0.04;P < .01]) and urine AGT (ß = 0.32 [SE 0.07;P < .01]) significantly associated with ACR and urine ACE2 (ß = 0.21 [SE 0.13;P < .03]). No associations between RAS markers and eGFR/MAP. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION RAS activation present in youth with T2D and associated with higher HbA1c. Higher serum aldosterone and urine AGT associated with albuminuria. The prognostic significance of the combined effect of glycemia and RAS activation on renal outcomes requires additional investigation.
