Abstract
Glucose disorders are the most common endocrine condition in the primary care setting. The conditions overlap and are better viewed as a spectrum rather than discrete entities. Multiple treatment agents are now available for diabetes mellitus which include long-acting and short-acting insulins and medications targeting the various pathways of diabetes including liver gluconeogenesis, increasing peripheral insulin sensitivity, stimulating pancreatic insulin production, eliminating glucose renally, decreasing carbohydrate gastrointestinal absorption, and targeting the body's incretin system. Various endocrine conditions can cause secondary hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. Medications and physiologic stress can affect glucose levels. Genetic syndromes causing enzyme deficiencies underlie a small portion of glucose disorders.

Evaluation of changes in glycemic control and diabetic complications over time and factors associated with the progression of diabetic complications in Japanese patients with juvenile-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus. J Diabetes 2024; 16:e13486. [PMID: 37853936 PMCID: PMC10859312 DOI: 10.1111/1753-0407.13486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the changes in glycemic control and diabetic complications over time in Japanese patients with juvenile-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus and to clarify the factors associated with the progression of diabetic complications. METHODS We tracked 129 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (21.8 ± 4.1 years old [mean ± SD] with a diabetes duration of 12.6 ± 5.7 years) for up to 19 years and analyzed data on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and indicators related to the severity of diabetic complications (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], urinary albumin excretion rate [UAE], carotid intima-media thickness [CIMT], and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity [baPWV]) using linear mixed model and decision tree analysis. RESULTS Although the HbA1c and UAE levels improved over time, the eGFR, CIMT, and baPWV worsened. Decision tree analysis showed that HbA1c and the glycoalbumin/HbA1c ratio for eGFR; HbA1c and systolic blood pressure for UAE; low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, glycoalbumin/HbA1c ratio, and body mass index (BMI) for CIMT; and HbA1c for baPWV were associated factors. CONCLUSIONS In this retrospective observational study, glycemic control and albuminuria improved; however, renal function and arteriosclerosis worsened over time. HbA1c levels, glycemic excursion, and blood pressure are associated with nephropathy progression. HbA1c levels, glycemic excursion, lipid levels, and BMI are associated with the progression of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
The manifestations of diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN) are protean and clinically involve multiple systems, including the cardiovascular system, the gastrointestinal system, the genitourinary system as well as the sweat glands (sudomotor dysfunction) and the gallbladder. In addition, cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is associated with a correctible inability to appreciate and correct hypoglycaemia. While not a clinical problem, pupillary involvement should be the clue and the catalyst to investigate for other manifestations of DAN. This review outlines a practical approach to detecting and investigating the manifestations of DAN. Of particular importance is early detection of cardiovascular involvement where prompt therapy through glycaemic control can decrease the severity of CAN and decelerate the frequency and severity of retinopathy and nephropathy in addition to decreasing cardiovascular events and mortality. CAN also plays a role in accelerating other diabetic complications such as acute ischaemic stroke, heart failure, medial artery calcinosis, foot ulcers, peripheral artery disease and Charcot joints. Many therapies of DAN are available, which should not only decrease morbidity and mortality from DAN, but also improve the patient's quality of life. However, the therapies available are largely symptomatic.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this prospective case-control study was to determine the effect on the voice of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in paediatric patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included patients aged 6-18 years followed up for at least 1 year because of T1DM, and a control group of age and gender-matched healthy volunteers. Following an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) examination, all subjects underwent flexible endoscopic laryngeal examination. Fasting venous blood samples were taken in the morning for the examination of fasting blood glucose (FBG), HgbA1C, and kidney, liver, and thyroid function tests. Data were recorded from the patient files of age, gender, comorbidities, and the development of diabetes-related complications. Voice recordings were taken and the Voice Handicap Index (VHI)-10 form was completed. The patients and control group were compared in respect of the parameters of fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, and acoustic voice quality index (AVQI). RESULTS Evaluation was made of 64 children and adolescents as 32 in the patient group (Group 1) and 32 healthy control subjects (Group 2). Group 1 comprised 17 females and 15 males with a mean age of 12.75 ± 3.23 years. Group 2 comprised 17 females and 15 males with a mean age of 12.75 ± 3.33 years. In Group 1, mean disease duration was 5.21 ± 3.17 years (range, 1-13 years), the FBG value was mean 216.6 ± 122.3 mg/dl, mean HgbA1c was 10.7 ± 2.8, as ≤ 7 in 4 patients, 7-9 in 4, and > 9 in 24. Maximum phonation time (MPT) was determined as 10.66 ± 3.6 secs in Group 1 and 12.11 ± 4.43 in Group 2. VHI was determined as 2.33 ± 3 in Group 1 and 2.31 ± 2.77 in Group 2. No statistically significant difference was determined between the groups was determined in respect of acoustic analysis, perturbation parameters, AVQI and body mass index. CONCLUSIONS This study is the first to have investigated the effects of T1DM on the voice in paediatric patients. The study results showed that the AVQI value was higher in the patient group but not to a statistically significant level. Therefore, there is a need for further studies with larger samples. The current study can be of guidance for further studies in this field.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) may contribute to vascular complications in diabetes. We hypothesized that adolescents with CAN are at greater risk of diabetic retinopathy and early kidney dysfunction. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this prospective longitudinal study of 725 adolescents with type 1 diabetes without retinopathy and albuminuria at baseline, early CAN was defined as one or more abnormalities in seven heart rate tests derived from a 10-min electrocardiogram. Retinopathy was defined as the presence of one or more microaneurysms, early kidney dysfunction as an albumin excretion rate (AER) >7.5 μg/min, and albuminuria as an AER >20 μg/min. Multivariable generalized estimating equations were used to examine the association between CAN and retinopathy or early kidney dysfunction. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to assess cumulative risks of incident retinopathy and albuminuria. RESULTS At baseline, the mean age of the sample was 13.6 ± 2.6 years, 52% were male, and mean diabetes duration was 6.1 ± 3.3 years. Over a median follow-up of 3.8 (interquartile range 2.2-7.5) years, the complication rate 27% for retinopathy, 16% for early kidney dysfunction, and 3% for albuminuria. The mean study HbA1c was 72.3 ± 16 mmol/mmol (8.6 ± 1.4%). CAN predicted incident retinopathy (odds ratio 2.0 [95% CI 1.4, 2.9]) and early kidney dysfunction (1.4 [1.0, 2.0]) after adjusting for HbA1c and diabetes duration. CAN also predicted retinopathy (hazard ratio 1.57 [95% CI 1.09, 2.26]) and albuminuria (2.30 [1.05, 5.04]) independently of HbA1c. CONCLUSIONS CAN predicted incident retinopathy and kidney dysfunction in adolescents with type 1 diabetes, likely reflecting autonomic microvascular dysregulation contributing to complications. Therefore, screening and interventions to reduce CAN may influence the risk of complications.

The Relationship between Selected Inflammation and Oxidative Stress Biomarkers and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (IMT) Value in Youth with Type 1 Diabetes Co-Existing with Early Microvascular Complications. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11164732. [PMID: 36012972 PMCID: PMC9409989 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11164732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Revised: 08/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Recent years have confirmed the importance of oxidative stress and biomarkers of inflammation in estimating the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and explaining not fully understood pathogenesis of diabetic macroangiopathy. We aimed to analyze the relation between the intima-media thickness (IMT) of common carotid arteries and the occurrence of classical cardiovascular risk factors, together with the newly proposed biomarkers of CVD risk (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), myeloperoxidase (MPO), adiponectin, N-terminal-pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and vitamin D) in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) recognized in screening tests to present early stages of microvascular complications (VC). The study group consisted of 50 adolescents and young adults with T1D, mean age 17.1 years (10–26 age range), including 20 patients with VC (+) and 30 VC (−). The control group (Control) consisted of 22 healthy volunteers, mean age 16.5 years (11–26 age range). In the VC (+) patients, we found a significantly higher concentration of HbA1c, lipid levels, hsCRP and NT-proBNP. BMI and blood pressure values were highest in the VC (+) group. Higher levels of MPO and lower levels of vitamin D were found in both diabetic groups vs. Control. IMT in VC (+) patients was significantly higher and correlated positively with HbA1c, hsCRP, NT-pro-BNP and negatively with vitamin D levels. In conclusion, youth with T1D and VC (+) present many abnormalities in the classical and new CVD biomarkers. hsCRP and MPO seem to be the most important markers for estimating the risk of macroangiopathy. NT-proBNP may present a possible marker of early myocardial injury in this population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This multi-center randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a context-specific transition intervention program to improve clinic visit adherence and clinical outcomes among emerging adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in Delhi, India. METHODS We will recruit patients with T1DM of duration ≥1 year and age 15-19.5 years from the participating pediatric sites. After a baseline assessment and a "basic introductory session", which apprises participants about the concept of transition, study participants (proposed sample size =156) will be randomly allocated into an intervention and control arm. Participants in the intervention arm will receive a structured transition program delivered over a period of 15 months. On the other hand, control arm participants will continue to receive usual care from the pediatric site till the time of transfer to the adult site. The study assessments will be done at baseline, at the time of transfer, and at 1 and 2 years following the transfer. The primary outcome is the difference in clinic attendance rate between intervention and control arms at the end of 1-year post-transfer.The secondary outcomes include the difference in clinic attendance rate at the end of 2 years, difference in proportion of participants with a minimum of 4 visits in the first follow-up year, and process indicators such as diabetes knowledge and self-management skills, diabetes treatment satisfaction, overall quality of life, diabetes-related distress, hospitalization for acute complications and screening for chronic diabetes complications, and HbA1c. CONCLUSION This study will provide important new evidence about a potential strategy to improve clinical care among adolescents and emerging adults with T1DM in lower resource contexts during the vulnerable phase of transition from pediatric to adult healthcare. The trial is registered on the Clinical Trials Registry of India (http://ctri.nic.in) under the CTRI registration number CTRI/2020/10/028379.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to estimate the prevalence of Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in youth with type 1 diabetes; identify key risk factors; identify the most useful tests for the diagnostic evaluation of DPN and CAN; identify key treatment options for DPN and CAN. METHODS A systematic search was performed including studies published in the last 15 years. PICO framework was used in the selection process and evidence was assessed using the GRADE system. RESULTS A total of 758 studies were identified and a final number of 49 studies were included in this systematic review. According to moderate-high level quality studies, the prevalence of probable DPN, ranged between 13.5 and 62%; subclinical DPN between 22 and 88%; confirmed DPN between 2.6 and 11%. The Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument was the tool with higher sensitivity and specificity for detecting DPN, which needs to be confirmed by nerve conduction velocity. The prevalence of CAN was 4-39%. Specific treatment options for DPN or CAN in patients younger than 25 years are not available. Key risk factors for DPN and CAN are hyperglycemia/HbA1c, age, diabetes duration, the presence of other microvascular complications, waist/height ratio, lipid profile and blood pressure. For CAN, additional risk factors were cigarette smoking, BMI and total daily insulin. CONCLUSIONS Prevalence of neuropathy in youth with type 1 diabetes varies depending on different screening methods and characteristics of the study populations. However, the assessed studies confirmed a relatively high prevalence of subclinical neuropathy, reiterating the importance of early identification of risk factors to prevent this complication.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus and a major cause of vision loss worldwide. The purpose of this review is to provide an update on the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in youth, discuss risk factors, and review recent advances in diabetic retinopathy screening. RECENT FINDINGS While DR has long been considered a microvascular complication, recent data suggests that retinal neurodegeneration may precede the vascular changes associated with DR. The prevalence of DR has decreased in type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients following the results of the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial and implementation of intensive insulin therapy, with prevalence ranging from 14-20% before the year 2000 to 3.7-6% after 2000. In contrast, the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in pediatric type 2 diabetes (T2D) is higher, ranging from 9.1-50%. Risk factors for diabetic retinopathy are well established and include glycemic control, diabetes duration, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, whereas diabetes technology use including insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors has been shown to have protective effects. Screening for DR is recommended for youth with T1D once they are aged ≥ 11 years or puberty has started and diabetes duration of 3-5 years. Pediatric T2D patients are advised to undergo screening at or soon after diagnosis, and annually thereafter, due to the insidious nature of T2D. Recent advances in DR screening methods including point of care and artificial intelligence technology have increased access to DR screening, while being cost-saving to patients and cost-effective to healthcare systems. While the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in youth with T1D has been declining over the last few decades, there has been a significant increase in the prevalence of DR in youth with T2D. Improving access to diabetic retinopathy screening using novel screening methods may help improve detection and early treatment of diabetic retinopathy.

Large fibre, small fibre and autonomic neuropathy in adolescents with type 1 diabetes: A systematic review. J Diabetes Complications 2021; 35:108027. [PMID: 34429229 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2021.108027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2021] [Revised: 05/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/14/2021] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
AIMS To estimate the prevalence of neuropathy in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. METHODS Systematic collection of published studies exploring the prevalence of large fibre neuropathy (LFN), small fibre neuropathy (SFN), and autonomic neuropathy in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Following prospective registration (Prospero CRD42020206093), PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched for studies from 2000 to 2020. PICO framework was used in the selection process (Population: adolescents aged 10-19 years with type 1 diabetes; Intervention: diagnostic methods for neuropathy; Comparison: reference data; Outcome: data on prevalence or comparison). Data were extracted concerning study quality based on available data and established methods for determining and diagnosing various neuropathy types. RESULTS From 2,017 initial citations, 27 studies (7589 participants) fulfilled eligibility criteria. The study population (47% males) had a diabetes duration between 4.0 and 10.6 years, and HbA1c level between 7.3 and 10.8%, 56-95 mmol/mol. The prevalence of LFN, based on nerve conduction studies, was 10-57%. Based on other tests for neuropathy, the prevalence of LFN and SFN was 12-62%, and that of cardiac autonomic neuropathy was 12-75%. CONCLUSION The described prevalence of neuropathy in adolescents with type 1 diabetes varied, which can be methodological due to different screening methods and classifications of neuropathy.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of higher and earlier morbidity and mortality in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared to people without diabetes. In addition, women with T1D are at an even higher relative risk for CVD than men. However, the underlying pathophysiology is not well understood. Atherosclerotic changes are known to progress early in life among people with T1D, yet it is less clear when excess CVD risk begins in females with T1D. This review explores the prevalence of classical CVD risk factors (such as glycemic control, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, albuminuria, smoking, diet, physical inactivity), as well as of novel biomarkers (such as chronic inflammation), in children and adolescents with T1D with particular regard to sex-related differences in risk profile. We also summarize gaps where further research and clearer clinical guidance are needed to better address this issue. Considering that girls with T1D might have a more adverse CVD risk profile than boys, the early identification of and sex-specific intervention in T1D would have the potential to reduce later CVD morbidity and excess mortality in females with T1D. To conclude, based on an extensive review of the existing literature, we found a clear difference between boys and girls with T1D in the presence of individual CVD risk factors as well as in overall CVD risk profiles; the girls were on the whole more impacted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The hallmark of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an absolute lack of insulin. However, many studies showed a tendency to heterogeneity in TID. We aimed to investigate the demographic and clinical characteristics in T1D and the differences in young-onset and adult-onset patients. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted among 1943 patients with clinically diagnosed T1D. Medical records on patients' demographics, anthropometric measurements, and clinical manifestation were collected. According to the age at onset, the newly diagnosed patients were divided into the young-onset group (< 18 years, 234 patients, mean age 11 years) and adult-onset group (≥ 18 years, 219 patients, mean age 27 years). Pancreatic β-cell function was assessed by fasting C-peptide (FCP) and 2-h C-peptide (2-h CP). RESULTS The median age of patients at disease onset was 22 years. The median duration of patients was 3 years. The overall median glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) value was 10.3 % [89(mmol/mol)]. The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy was 25.1 %. The overall rate of DKA at onset in the new-onset patients was 59.6 %. The frequency of overall dyslipidemia was 37.8 %. The most frequent dyslipidemia was low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL) (29 %). The proportion of patients with anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA), insulin antibody (IAA) and islet cell antibody (ICA) were 28.1 %, 6.4 % and 21.6 %, respectively. The mean HbA1c showed a downward trend with age. Increasing or decreasing trends of overweight and obesity in this population during the period 2012 to 2018 was not found. Compared with young-onset T1D, adult-onset patients comprised better islet function (FCP: 0.4 vs. 0.3 ng/ml, P < 0.001; 2-h CP: 0.9 vs. 0.7 ng/ml P < 0.001, respectively) and glycemic control [12.9 % (117mmol/mol) vs. 11.7 % (104mmol/mol), P < 0.001], higher prevalence of diabetes condition in the male gender (64.4 % vs. 51.3 %, P = 0.006), higher proportion of obesity or overweight (24.6 % vs. 9.5 %, P = 0.002), higher frequency of GADA (33.7 % vs. 23.3 %, P = 0.025), and lower frequency of diabetic ketoacidosis at disease onset (64.5 % vs. 43.5 %, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This population was characterized by poor overall blood glucose control, high prevalence of DKA, dyslipidemia and diabetic retinopathy, and low prevalence of islet-related antibodies, and overweight or obesity. Adult-onset patients with T1D were not uncommon and had better clinical manifestations than young-onset patients. Any findings related to body mass index (BMI) and autoantibodies should be considered strictly exploratory due to excessive missing data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A benchmark study was conducted in the southwest of France, in the New Aquitaine region, to investigate metabolic outcomes and availability of resources in pediatric diabetes units. We assessed whether the level of care was in accordance with the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes recommendations. METHODS Demographic and clinical data were collected, as were all HbA1c tests for the 2017 calendar year. Pediatricians specialized in diabetes care were invited to complete an online survey concerning means allocated to the management of type 1 diabetes in their centers. RESULTS Sixteen centers provided data for 1277 patients and 3873 clinical visits. A total of 1115 children suffering from diabetes for more than 1 year were studied. Median HbA1c was 8% (7.4-8.6) for the whole region. Only 29.2% of children had good metabolic control in accordance with the <7.5% target. We identified slight but significant variation in glycemic control among centers (P=0.029). The use of an insulin pump varied greatly among centers but did not explain HbA1c differences. We did not identify a correlation between medical or paramedical time dedicated to the follow-up of diabetic patients and the mean HbA1c of each center. For 100 diabetic patients, follow-up was provided by 0.42 physicians (0.23-1.50), 0.15 nurses (0-0.56), 0.12 dietitians (0-0.48), and 0.07 psychologists (0-0.30). CONCLUSION This study demonstrates a lack of human resources allocated to the management of type 1 diabetes in the region that is far below international recommendations. The proportion of children achieving the international glycemic target is low. There is a clear need to improve glycemic control in children, which will only be possible with improved professional practices, encouraged by benchmark studies, and by increasing the size of our multidisciplinary teams.

Abstract
Pediatric neuropathy attributed to metabolic dysfunction is a well-known complication in children and youth with type 1 diabetes. Moreover, the rise of obesity and in particular of type 2 diabetes may cause an uptick in pediatric neuropathy incidence. However, despite the anticipated increase in neuropathy incidence, pathogenic insights and strategies to prevent or manage neuropathy in the setting of diabetes and obesity in children and youth remain unknown. Data from adult studies and available youth cohort studies are providing an initial understanding of potential diagnostic, management, and preventative measures in early life. This review discusses the current state of knowledge emanating from these efforts, with particular emphasis on the prevalence, clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches and considerations, and risk factors of neuropathy in type 1 and type 2 diabetes in children and youth. Also highlighted are current management strategies and recommendations for neuropathy in children and youth with diabetes. This knowledge, along with continued and sustained emphasis on identifying and eliminating modifiable risk factors, completing randomized controlled trials to assess effectiveness of strategies like weight loss and exercise, and enhancing awareness to support early detection and prevention, are pertinent to addressing the rising incidence of neuropathy associated with diabetes and obesity in children and youth.

Abstract
Objective Health professionals and patients should follow comprehensive screening guidelines to recognize early signs of long-term complications for insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The aim of this study is to demonstrate that utilization of electronic medical record (EMR) templates for diabetes management improves adherence to International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) screening guidelines. Methods All patients with T1DM who were seen in the outpatient pediatric endocrine clinic (age 0–22 years old) at an urban community-based community hospital during the 2014 calendar year were enrolled in the study (n=49). A retrospective chart review was performed and audited against ISPAD guidelines. An EMR template and order set was then created based on ISPAD screening guidelines with the aim of improving compliance. The templates were implemented in 2015 (initial phase) and 2016 (maintenance phase) and these data were compared to baseline data. A chi-squared test was performed to analyze the differences between the data using SAS version 9.4 (SAS Institute, Inc). A p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results Significant improvements (p< 0.05) in screening guideline adherence from baseline to maintenance phase data were found for annual retinopathy (0% to 45%) and neuropathic foot (0% to 64%) exams, screening for microalbuminuria (49% to 79%), celiac disease (6% to 81%), lipids (63% to 86%), and basic metabolic panel (69% to 88%). Of note, thyroid function testing was also increased, but was not statistically significant between the years. Conclusion The utilization of EMR templates and order sets for T1DM are valuable tools to aid medical providers in adhering to ISPAD screening guideline.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Data on microvascular complications in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in Sudan are scarce. This study was aimed at determining the prevalence of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and retinopathy (DR) and their relationship to certain risk factors in children with T1DM attending the Sudan Childhood Diabetes Centre. Design and Methods. A clinic-based cross-sectional study of 100 patients with T1DM aged 10-18 years. Patients with disease duration exceeding 5 years if the onset of diabetes was prepubertal and 2 years if it was postpubertal were included. Relevant sociodemographic, clinical, and biochemical information was obtained. Blood pressure was measured. The patients were screened for DN and DR using urinary microalbumin estimation and fundus photography, respectively. RESULTS The frequency of microalbuminuria and diabetic retinopathy was 36% and 33%, respectively. Eleven percent had both retinopathy and microalbuminuria. Seven percent of the patients were found to be hypertensive. Patients with diabetic retinopathy had significantly higher HbA1c levels (p = 0.009) and longer diabetes duration (p = 0.02) than patients without retinopathy. Logistic regression showed that high HbA1c (odds ratio (OR) 0.83, confidence interval (CI) 0.68-1.00, p = 0.04), but not age, duration, ethnic group, BMI, blood pressure, and presence of nephropathy, was an independent risk factor for retinopathy. Likewise, high blood pressure (OR 6.89, CI 1.17-40.52, p = 0.03), but not age, duration, ethnic group, BMI, HbA1c, and presence of retinopathy, was a predictor for nephropathy. CONCLUSION High prevalence of incipient DN and early stages of DR were observed in this study. Longer diabetes duration and higher HbA1c were associated with the presence of diabetic retinopathy. High blood pressure was a risk factor for DN. So regular screening for these complications and optimization of glycemic control are needed.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is becoming more prevalent and even with new advancements which improve glycaemic control, complications of diabetes are common. Vascular complications of diabetes include the microvascular complications: retinopathy, nephropathy, and peripheral and autonomic neuropathy. Macrovascular complications are also common in patients with diabetes and arguably more concerning as they confer a high mortality risk yet are sometimes under-treated. Risk factors for diabetes complications start to occur in childhood and adolescents and some youths may be diagnosed with complications before transition to adult care. This article discusses the prevalence, risk factors, screening, and treatment recommendations for vascular complications in children and adolescents with diabetes.

Abstract
Diabetes vascular complications, including cardiovascular disease, diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy, have a negative effect on the long-term prognosis of young people with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Poor glycaemic control and consequent increased HbA1c levels are major risk factors for the development of vascular complications. HbA1c levels are the main focus of current management strategies; however, the recommended target is rarely achieved in adolescents. Thus, a clear need exists for improved biomarkers to identify high-risk young people early and to develop new intervention strategies. Evidence is accumulating that early increases in urinary albumin excretion could be predictive of adolescents with T1DM who are at an increased risk of developing vascular complications, independent of HbA1c levels. These findings present an opportunity to move towards the personalized care of adolescents with T1DM, which takes into consideration changes in albumin excretion and other risk factors in addition to HbA1c levels.

Abstract
Aims To evaluate recent trends, by diagnosis year, in the cumulative incidence of vascular type 1 diabetes (T1D) complications and their risk factors up to 35 years duration. Methods Participants from the Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications study of childhood-onset T1D were categorized into three calendar year onset cohorts: 1965-69, 1970-74, and 1975-80. All-cause, cardiovascular and renal mortality were determined both on the complete cohort (n=440) as well as in the subset with clinical examinations (n=363). Coronary artery disease (CAD, CAD death, myocardial infarction, revascularization, angina and ischemic ECG abnormalities); lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD, abnormal Ankle Brachial Index/amputation/intermittent claudication); distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSP, clinical exam); cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN, abnormal heart rate response to deep breathing); overt nephropathy (ON, albumin excretion rate>200 μg/min) and proliferative retinopathy (PR, fundus photography) were assessed on the subset with clinical examinations. Results While all-cause, cardiovascular and renal mortality improved with a more recent diagnosis in the overall cohort, no univariate differences were observed for complications requiring examination (CAD, DSP, CAN, ON), although a borderline trend toward improved complication-free survival with a more recent onset was observed for PR (p=0.06). LEAD incidence showed an anomalous pattern, being highest in the 1975-80 and lowest in the 1970-74 cohort (p=0.009). Allowing for risk factors over time did not materially change these results. Conclusions Despite declines in all-cause, cardiovascular and renal mortality in the total cohort, no improvements were observed in either mortality or complication incidence with a more recent onset in the examined cohort.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is currently limited data published on the prognostic factors and prevalence of diabetic eye disease in children and young people (CYP) with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), yet diabetic retinopathy remains one of the commonest causes of blindness in young adults. The aim of this study was to determine the risk and prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and to evaluate the risk factors associated with diabetic retinopathy in CYP with T1DM. METHODS All CYP with Type 1 diabetes between 12 and 18 years of age, registered with the regional diabetic retinopathy screening programme were evaluated from 2012 to 2013 in four diabetes units within the north west region of the United Kingdom. Patients who had evidence of diabetic retinopathy were reviewed to identify risk factors for presence or absence of diabetic retinopathy. RESULTS 237 patients between the ages 12-18 years were included in the. The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy was 11%. Out of 27 patients with evidence of diabetic retinopathy, 44% were reported as background changes and 56% had pre-proliferative DR. Significant risk factors for diabetic retinopathy disease in the population using univariate analyses were duration of diabetes, puberty, age at diagnosis and mean HbA1c in the preceding 12 months. Multivariate logistic regression analysis found age of diagnosis (p = 0.04) and mean HbA1c as significant independent risk factors for presence of diabetic retinopathy (p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in this paediatric population was 11%. Early age at diagnosis and poor metabolic control are independent risk factors for diabetic retinopathy.

Abstract
Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are increasing in prevalence and diabetes complications are common. Diabetes complications are rarely studied in youth, despite the potential onset in childhood. Microvascular complications of diabetes include retinopathy, diabetic kidney disease or nephropathy, and neuropathy that may be somatic or autonomic. Macrovascular disease is the leading cause of death in patients with type 1 diabetes. Strict glycaemic control will reduce microvascular and macrovascular complications; however, they may still manifest in youth. This article discusses the diagnosis and treatment of complications that arise from type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus in youth. Screening for complications is paramount as early intervention improves outcome. Screening should commence from 11 years of age depending on the duration of type 1 diabetes or at diagnosis for patients with type 2 diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy may require invasive treatment such as laser therapy or intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor therapy to prevent future blindness. Hypertension and albuminuria may herald diabetic nephropathy and require management with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition. In addition to hypertension, dyslipidaemia must be treated to reduce macrovascular complications. Interventional trials aimed at examining the treatment of diabetes complications in youth are few. Statins, ACE inhibitors and metformin have been successfully trialled in adolescents with type 1 diabetes with positive effects on lipid profile, microalbuminuria and measures of vascular health. Although relatively rare, complications do occur in youth and further research into effective treatment for diabetes complications, particularly therapeutics in children in addition to prevention strategies is required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The hepatokine fetuin A is upregulated in the metabolic syndrome and in type 2 diabetes (T2D), while its role in adolescent type 1 diabetes (T1D) is unclear. We assessed the relationship between circulating fetuin A levels and metabolic control, comorbidities, and complications in adolescent T1D patients. METHODS We studied the relationship between serum fetuin A and clinical diabetes-related data from the DPV registry (Diabetes-Pa-tienten-Verlaufsdokumentation) in 172 adolescent T1D patients with early-onset (<5 years) long-standing (>10 years) T1D. Fetuin A levels were further compared between adolescent T1D and T2D patients. RESULTS Serum fetuin A levels in T1D patients (mean 0.267 ± 0.043 g/L) did not correlate with age, diabetes duration, gender, body mass index (BMI), glycated hemoglobin, serum lipid levels, blood pressure, celiac or thyroid disease, nephropathy, or retinopathy. An association of fetuin A levels with insulin requirements was only evident within the subgroup of overweight T1D patients (rs = 0.439, p = 0.028, n = 25, BMI >90th percentile), disappearing after adjustment for multiple testing. Adolescent T1D patients showed distinctly lower fetuin A levels than patients with T2D (p ≤ 0.001). CONCLUSION Overall, we did not observe a clinically relevant association of fetuin A levels with surrogate parameters for insulin sensitivity in our juvenile T1D cohort. A correlation with insulin requirements was detectable in overweight patients only. We hypothesize that multiple factors, such as obesity, puberty, inadequate metabolic control, and hepatic steatosis, have to add up before a clinically relevant effect of fetuin A on insulin sensitivity becomes evident.

Abstract
The retina functions as a neurovascular unit. How early vascular alterations affect neuronal layers remains controversial; early vascular failure could lead to edema increasing retinal thicknesses, but alternatively neuronal loss could lead to reduced retinal thickness. Objective. To evaluate retinal thickness in a cohort of pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (PwT1DM) and to analyze differences according to the presence or absence of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), poor metabolic control, and diabetes duration. Patients and Methods. We performed retinographies and optical coherence tomography (OCT) (TOPCON 3D1000®) to PwT1DM followed at our center and healthy controls. Measurements of the control group served to calculate reference values. Results. 59 PwT1DM (age 12.51 ± 2.59) and 22 healthy controls (age 10.66 ± 2.51) volunteered. Only two PwT1DM, both adolescents with poor metabolic control, presented NPRD. Both showed decreased thicknesses and retinal volumes. The odds ratio of having decreased retinal thickness when signs of NPDR were present was 11.72 (95% IC 1.16-118.28; p = 0.036). Conclusions. PwT1DM with NPDR have increased odds of decreased retinal thicknesses and volumes. Whether these changes are reversible by improving metabolic control or not remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
BACKBROUD/PURPOSE Microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria are markers of diabetic nephropathy (DN). The purpose of this study was to unravel the risk factors for DN in the young patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS 341 patients (160 males) with T1D diagnosed at the age 7.6 ± 4.0 years with disease duration 11.5 ± 6.5 years were assessed. Among them, 185 were young adults (aged 18.0-36.2 years). Urinary albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) was checked on morning spot urine. Microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria were defined as a UACR of 30-300 mg/g and >300 mg/g, respectively, in at least 2 consecutive specimens. RESULTS 50 (14.7%) patients were classified as microalbuminuria and 13 (3.8%) as macroalbuminuria. In all patients, multivariate logistic regression revealed that the most significant risk factors were average HbA1c (%), OR (95% CI) = 1.76 (1.37-2.25), P = 0.002); and male sex, OR = (odd ratio 2.31 (1.19-4.46), P = 0.013). In adult patients, the most significant factors were average HbA1c, OR = 1.74 (1.32-2.31), P = 0.003; and systolic blood pressure, OR = 1.06 (1.01-1.11), P = 0.011. Survival analysis showed average HbA1c levels significantly influenced the development of DN. CONCLUSION The most important risk factors for DN were average HbA1c and age. When microalbuminuria is detected, proper treatment with ACEIs or ARBs and improving glycemic control can delay progression of DN.

Abstract
AIMS To assess metabolic control in a paediatric T1D population in Spain and analyse the rate of severe acute decompensations and chronic complications. METHODS Data from patients treated at eight paediatric diabetes units with experienced diabetes teams between June and December 2014 were analysed in an observational prospective study. Variables included: age, sex, diabetes duration, number of follow-up visits/year, anthropometrical data, insulin treatment modalities, mean annual HbA1c and the prevalence of acute and chronic complications. SPSS statistics 21.0 was used. RESULTS A total of 853 patients (49.7% female) with a mean age of 12.1 ± 3.7 years were included. Anthropometric data were normal. Mean diabetes duration was 8 ± 3.4 years. Mean outpatient follow-up was 4.7 ± 0.04 visits/year. Twenty-five per cent were on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). Mean HbA1c was 7.3 ± 1% (56 ± 8 mmol/mol) and 66.6% had HbA1c < 7.5% (58 mmol/mol). HbA1c value correlated negatively with age at onset and positively with years of diabetes, number of visits/year and current age (F = 7.06; p = 0.01). Patients on CSII (n = 213) were younger, attended the outpatient clinic more frequently, were diagnosed earlier, had better metabolic control and had presented more severe hypoglycaemic episodes the previous year. The rate of severe decompensation (episodes/100 patients/year) was ketoacidosis 1.5 and severe hypoglycaemia 4.5. The prevalence of chronic complications was very low. CONCLUSIONS Our data describe the good compliance of paediatric T1D patients treated at eight paediatric units in Spain following international standards of metabolic control.

Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic illness that places a significant self-management burden on affected individuals and families. Given the importance of health behaviors-such as medication adherence, diet, physical activity, blood glucose self-monitoring-in achieving optimal glycemic control in diabetes, interventions designed and delivered by psychologists hold promise in assisting children, adolescents, and adults with diabetes in improving their health status and lowering their risk of serious complications. This article first provides an overview of diabetes self-management and associated challenges and burdens. Socioeconomic status factors that may influence diabetes management and outcomes are briefly highlighted. We then review the evidence base for select psychosocial factors that may be implicated in diabetes self-management. Modifiable targets of psychological intervention are presented across 3 overarching domains: (a) knowledge, beliefs, and related cognitive constructs; (b) emotional distress and well-being; and (c) behavioral skills and coping. Important methodological issues facing future research are discussed, along with opportunities for psychologists in improving the care and treatment outcomes of individuals and families living with diabetes. In conclusion, we advocate for continued research emphasis on improving psychosocial aspects of living with diabetes, with greater attention to the situational context in which the self-regulatory processes underlying self-management occur. Psychologists have important roles to play in reducing emotional distress, improving patient knowledge, and providing training in behavioral skills to promote successful self-management and to support patient-centered diabetes care.

Abstract
Background Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) increases morbidity and mortality in diabetes through association with a high risk of cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death, possibly related to silent myocardial ischemia. During the sub-clinical stage, CAN can be detected through reduction in heart rate variability (HRV). The aim of our study was to estimate if the time and frequency-domain analysis can be valuable for detecting CAN in young patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods For this case control study of evaluation of cardiovascular autonomic function the 15–25 years age group of patients with duration of T1DM more than 9 years (n = 208, 89 males and 119 females) were selected. 67 patients with confirmed CAN were assigned to the “case group” and 141 patients without CAN served as a control group, the duration of T1DM was similar (15.07 ± 4.89 years vs.13.66 ± 4.02 years; p = 0.06) in both groups. Cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests and time and frequency domains analysis of HRV were performed for all subjects. Results Time domain measures were significantly lower in CAN group compared with control (p < 0.05). R-R max / R-R min ratio and coefficient of variation (CV) were the lowest during deep breathing among T1DM patients with CAN. Receivers operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to compare the accuracies of the parameters of time-domain analysis for diagnosing CAN. We estimated a more reliable cut-off value of parameters of time-domain. The CV values in supine position <1.65, reflected sensitivity 94.3%, specificity 91.5%. The CV values during deep breathing <1.45 reflected sensitivity 97.3%, specificity 96.2%. The CV values in standing position <1.50 reflected sensitivity 96.2%, specificity 93.0%. The most valuable CV was during deep breathing (AUC 0.899). The results of frequency-domain (spectral analysis) analysis showed significant decrease in LF power and LFPA, HF Power and HFPA, total power among subjects with CAN than compared with subjects without CAN (p < 0.05). Conclusions Time and frequency domain analysis of HRV permits a more accurate evaluation of cardiovascular autonomic function, providing more information about sympathetic and parasympathetic activity. The coefficient of variation (time-domain analysis) especially during deep breathing could be valuable for detecting CAN.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Poor adherence to self-care among youth with type-1 diabetes (YWD) can lead to significant long-term health problems. Negative diabetes-related emotions (NDRE) are common, and are significantly correlated with poor/deteriorating A1c. Resilient youth handle diabetes self-care challenges, such as adjusting for diabetes in public, better. Resiliency skills and perceptions include benefit finding (BF), fitting in with friends (FI), diabetes acceptance (DA), emotion processing (EP) and emotion expression (EE). First study goal: to verify structure of underlying measurement variables: NDRE, EP, EE, BF, DA, FI and comfort in adjusting for diabetes in public (CA) among youth 11-16 yr of age with diabetes. We also hypothesize: (i) YWD who engage in EP and EE will have higher levels of BF, FI, DA, (ii) EP and EE will moderate NDRE impact and (iii) higher levels of EP, EE, BF, FI and DA will be associated with higher CA. SUBJECTS 243 summer diabetes campers between 11-16 yr of age. METHODS Pre-camp survey. RESULTS Measurement variables were verified. EP and EE to friends were positively associated with BF, FI and DA for most YWD. NDRE was negatively associated with FI and DA, and for YWD aged 14-16 yr with CA. FI was positively associated with CA. EE moderated the impact of NDRE on CA among youth 11-13 yr. R2 for CA in youth 14-16 yr was 48.2%, for 11-13 yr was 38.3%. DA was positively associated with CA for youth 14-16 yr. CONCLUSIONS Resilience factors appear to influence CA either directly or indirectly.

Abstract
Background The global incidence of type 1 diabetes is rising, and youths with type 1 diabetes continue to suffer poorer health than peers without diabetes. Evidence suggests youths with type 1 diabetes have physical activity (PA) levels well below the recommendations for health and have high levels of sedentary behaviour. An active lifestyle is therefore recommended to improve health. There is limited research showing effective lifestyle behaviour change in this population; therefore, an evidence gap exists between the need to promote physical activity in type 1 diabetes care and lack of understanding on how to do this. This protocol paper describes a feasibility and pilot study of the ActivPals programme—an intervention to support active lifestyles in youths with type 1 diabetes. Methods/design Key intervention components have been identified from preliminary work (individual and family focus, peer mentoring, technology integration and improved communication and understanding) and are being developed into a pragmatic randomised controlled trial (RCT) supported by recruitment pathways. A steering group of health care professionals and managers will refine the intervention to patient needs. A pilot trial is providing data on intervention implementation, acceptability and feasibility. Twenty youths with type 1 diabetes are being recruited and randomised into an intervention or control group. Physical activity is being measured objectively using the Actigraph GT3X+ monitor at baseline and 1-month follow-up. Contextual factors associated with intervention delivery are being explored. Discussion This study will contribute to the development of evidence-based, user-informed and pragmatic interventions leading to healthier lifestyles in youths with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ISPAD guideline 2011/2014 advises annual podiatric screening to detect foot complications and identify other possible risk factors such as functional and structural foot abnormalities. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and awareness of neurovascular, functional and structural foot abnormalities in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS All patients aged 0-18 years with T1DM were invited for a foot examination and structured questionnaire by a certified podiatrist. RESULTS Three of the examined patients (n=128) showed signs of possible long-term complications. Structural and functional foot problems were observed in 71.9% (n=92). Of all patients, 38.3% (n=49) required further treatment by a podiatrist. CONCLUSIONS Functional and structural foot abnormalities are a frequent problem in children with T1DM in the southern part of the Netherlands. These abnormalities are an additional risk factor for developing long-term foot complications. Education in and implementation of the guideline are necessary.

Abstract
Background The incidence of type 1 diabetes in childhood is increasing by 3 % per year, placing growing demands on healthcare professionals and medical expenditures. Aim of this study wars to assess the organization of care to children with diabetes in Italy. Methods During 2012 a structured questionnaire was sent to all of the members of Italian Society of Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology (ISPED). Questions examined organizational structure of Centers, personnel dedicated to the care of children with diabetes, number of subjects followed, local legal legislation supporting centres. Results A total of 68 centers taking care to 15,563 children and adolescents with diabetes under 18 years of age were identified with a prevalence of 1.4 per 1,000 people. A wide variation in the organizational background was also reported. Fourty-four centers were organized as outpatient departments, 17 as simple units, 5 as complex units and 2 as simple departmental structures. Most centers had a multidisciplinary team. Ten out of twenty Italian regions had introduced supportive regional legislation, but it was fully applied only in six of them. Conclusion Great differences between regions were found in organizational structures, staffing levels and supportive legislation. The national legislation on diabetes was broadly implemented throughout the country regions. Further efforts are needed to improve standards and consistency of pediatric diabetes care in Italy.

Abstract
A major challenge in preventing vascular complications in diabetes is the inability to identify high-risk patients at an early stage, emphasizing the importance of discovering new risk factors, technologies and therapeutic targets to reduce the development and progression of complications. Promising biomarkers which may improve risk stratification and serve as therapeutic targets, include: uric acid, insulin sensitivity, copeptin, SGLT-2 and Klotho/FGF-23. Non-invasive measures of macrovasuclar disease in youth, include: 1) pulse wave velocity to examine arterial stiffness; 2) carotid intima-media thickness to evaluate arterial thickness; 3) cardiac MRI to investigate cardiac function and structure. Novel microvascular measures include: GFR by iohexol clearance using filter paper to directly measure GFR, retinal vascular geometry to predict early retinal changes and corneal confocal microscopy to improve detection of early nerve loss to better predict diabetic neuropathy. Herein we will review technologies, novel biomarkers, and therapeutic targets in relation to vascular complications of diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically review physical activity and/or sedentary behavior intervention studies for youth with type 1 diabetes. METHODS Several databases were searched for articles reporting on randomized-controlled trials (RCTs) in youth (<18 yr) with type 1 diabetes. Data was extracted and bias assessed to evaluate study characteristics, intervention design, and efficacy of interventions on physical activity and health. Where sufficient data were available meta-analyses of health outcomes [for hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)] were performed. Weighted mean differences (WMD) were calculated using fixed and random effect models. RESULTS The literature search identified 12/2397 full-text articles reporting on 11 studies. Two interventions were wholly unsupervised and only one was based on behavior change theory with no studies exploring changes in behavior processes. Nine interventions aimed to improve fitness or physical activity, two aimed to improve health, and none aimed at changing sedentary behavior. Eight interventions improved physical activity and/or fitness. At least one beneficial effect on health was found in each intervention group apart from two studies where no changes were found. Meta-analysis of 10 studies showed the interventions have a significant beneficial reduction of HbA1c (%), indicating an improvement in glycemic control [WMD, -0.85% (95% CI, -1.45 to -0.25%)]. There were insufficient data to pool other health outcome data. CONCLUSIONS Few RCTs explored the efficacy of unsupervised theory-based physical activity and/or sedentary behavior interventions in youth with type 1 diabetes. Limited reporting made comparison of findings challenging. There was an overall significant beneficial effect of physical activity on HbA1c.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate early alterations on bone mineral density (BMD) and RANK, RANKL and OPG mRNA expression in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and the relationship with glycemic control and bone biomarkers. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 75 children and adolescents with T1D and 100 individuals without diabetes (normoglycemic-NG) aged 6-20 years old. T1D individuals were considered to have good (T1DG) or poor (T1DP) glycemic control according to the values of HbA1c. Phosphorus, magnesium, total and ionized calcium, osteocalcin, alkaline phosphatase and tartaric-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) values were determined in blood samples. BMD was measured by DEXA. RANK, RANKL and OPG mRNA expression was measured in PBL by real-time PCR. RESULTS Osteocalcin values were decreased in diabetic groups in comparison to NG group (p<0.05), and a negative correlation with both serum glucose (r=-0.265, p<0.01) and Hb1Ac (r=-0.252, p<0.01) in T1D group was found. BMD was lower in diabetic groups in comparison with NG group (p<0.05) and a negative correlation was observed between BMD and both serum glucose (r=-0.357, p<0.01) and HbA1c (r=-0.351, p<0.01) in T1D group. OPG mRNA expression was significantly increased in T1D and T1DP groups in comparison with NG group (p<0.05). In conclusion, children and adolescents with early onset T1D presented low bone mineral density associated to unsatisfactory glycemic control, increased OPG mRNA expression and low osteocalcin concentration.
