Circulating Metabolite Biomarkers of Glycemic Control in Youth-Onset Type 2 Diabetes. Diabetes Care 2024; 47:1597-1607. [PMID: 38935559 PMCID: PMC11362122 DOI: 10.2337/dc23-2441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to identify metabolites associated with loss of glycemic control in youth-onset type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We measured 480 metabolites in fasting plasma samples from the TODAY (Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth) study. Participants (N = 393; age 10-17 years) were randomly assigned to metformin, metformin plus rosiglitazone, or metformin plus lifestyle intervention. Additional metabolomic measurements after 36 months were obtained in 304 participants. Cox models were used to assess baseline metabolites, interaction of metabolites and treatment group, and change in metabolites (0-36 months), with loss of glycemic control adjusted for age, sex, race, treatment group, and BMI. Metabolite prediction models of glycemic failure were generated using elastic net regression and compared with clinical risk factors. RESULTS Loss of glycemic control (HbA1c ≥8% or insulin therapy) occurred in 179 of 393 participants (mean 12.4 months). Baseline levels of 33 metabolites were associated with loss of glycemic control (q < 0.05). Associations of hexose and xanthurenic acid with treatment failure differed by treatment randomization; youths with higher baseline levels of these two compounds had a lower risk of treatment failure with metformin alone. For three metabolites, changes from 0 to 36 months were associated with loss of glycemic control (q < 0.05). Changes in d-gluconic acid and 1,5-AG/1-deoxyglucose, but not baseline levels of measured metabolites, predicted treatment failure better than changes in HbA1c or measures of β-cell function. CONCLUSIONS Metabolomics provides insight into circulating small molecules associated with loss of glycemic control and may highlight metabolic pathways contributing to treatment failure in youth-onset diabetes.

Abstract
Over the past 20 years, the incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in children and adolescents have increased, particularly in racial and ethnic minorities. Despite the rise in T2DM in children and adolescents, the pathophysiology and progression of disease in this population are not clearly understood. Youth-onset T2DM has a more adverse clinical course than is seen in those who develop T2DM in adulthood or those with T1DM. Furthermore, the available therapeutic options are more limited for children and adolescents with T2DM compared to adult patients, mostly due to the challenges of implementing clinical trials. A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the de-velopment and aggressive disease phenotype of T2DM in youth is important to finding effective prevention and management strategies. This review highlights the key evidence about T2DM in children and adolescents and its current burden and challenges both in clinical care and research activities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify plasma miRNAs related to treatment failure in youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We examined whether a panel of miRNAs could predict treatment failure in training/test data sets among participants in the Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study (N = 209). We also examined whether individual miRNAs were associated with treatment failure. RESULTS Participants were age 14.5 years, and 62% were female. A panel of miRNAs did not predict treatment failure. However, for each doubling, miR-4306 was associated with a 12% decrease (P = 0.040) and miR-483-3p was marginally associated with a 12% increase (P = 0.080) in failure independently of sex, race/ethnicity, BMI, Tanner stage, HbA1c, maternal diabetes, oral disposition index, and treatment arm. The addition of both miRNAs improved model fit (log likelihood without vs. with miRNAs -360.3 vs. -363.5; P = 0.040). CONCLUSIONS miR-483-3p and miR-4306 may be associated with treatment failure in youth with T2D.

Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:745-753. [PMID: 37985364 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15370] [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: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
AIM To investigate the effect of improving early phase insulin secretion function for glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with a new class of antidiabetic drug dorzagliatin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Early insulin secretion function was studied in 726 participants of which 414 were treated with dorzagliatin in the SEED and DAWN study. The early insulinogenic index (IGI30min ) and disposition index (DI) were used to assess early-phase insulin secretion function in this study. Logistic regression analysis was performed to verify the importance of IGI30min and DI indices for achieving effective glycaemic control. RESULTS The reduction in HbA1c has a significant correlation with the improvement of IGI30min for patients that received 24 weeks of dorzagliatin treatment (p < .001), and this correlation was not observed in the placebo group (p = .364). In the dorzagliatin treatment group, the responders showed significant improvements in homeostasis model assessment 2-β, IGI30min and DI compared with the non-responders. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the odds ratio (OR) for achieving glycaemic control was 1.28 (95% CI 1.14-1.43) for baseline IGI30min , and 1.24 (95% CI 1.14-1.35) for the 24-week incremental IGI30min from baseline. The OR for baseline DI and 24-week changes in DI from baseline were 1.39 (95% CI 1.2-1.6) and 1.30 (95% CI 1.19-1.43) respectively. The timing of insulin secretion analysis showed the significant contribution of early-phase insulin secretion, rather than late-phase insulin secretion, to postprandial glucose control with the OR for the incremental IGI30min and IGI2h to postprandial glucose control were 1.3 (95% CI 1.19-1.42) and 1 (95% CI 1-1.01) respectively. CONCLUSIONS Restoring the impaired early-phase insulin secretion function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is a critical factor for improving the glycaemic control by dorzagliatin treatment.

Effect of Early Glycemic Control in Youth-Onset Type 2 Diabetes on Longer-Term Glycemic Control and β-Cell Function: Results From the TODAY Study. Diabetes Care 2023; 46:1507-1514. [PMID: 37378967 PMCID: PMC10369125 DOI: 10.2337/dc23-0560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Little is known about the impact of early attainment of tight glycemic control on long-term β-cell function and glycemic control in youth-onset type 2 diabetes. We examined the effect of the initial 6 months of glycemic control on β-cell function and glycemic control longitudinally over 9 years and the impact of sex, race/ethnicity, and BMI on these relationships in adolescents with youth-onset type 2 diabetes in the Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Oral glucose tolerance tests were performed longitudinally through year 9 to derive estimates of insulin sensitivity and secretion. Early glycemia was defined by mean HbA1c during the first 6 months postrandomization, categorized into five HbA1c groups (<5.7%, 5.7 to <6.4%, 6.4 to <7.0%, 7.0 to <8.0%, and ≥8.0%). The long-term period was defined as the period between years 2 and 9. RESULTS A total of 656 participants (64.8% female, baseline mean age 14 years, diabetes duration <2 years) had longitudinal data available over an average of 6.4 ± 3.2 years of follow-up. HbA1c significantly increased in all early glycemic groups during years 2-9, with a steeper increase (+0.40%/year) among participants with the tightest initial control (mean early HbA1c <5.7%), in parallel to a decline in the C-peptide-derived disposition index. Nevertheless, the lower HbA1c categories continued to have relatively lower HbA1c over time. CONCLUSIONS Early tight glycemic control in the TODAY study was related to β-cell reserve and translated to better long-term glycemic control. However, tight early glycemic control on the randomized treatment in the TODAY study did not prevent deterioration of β-cell function.

Abstract
Background Obesity in pediatric patients is strongly associated with increased vascular and metabolic risk. Prediabetes is present in up to 1 in 5 adolescents, aged 12-18 years-old, though is thought to remit spontaneously in a significant portion. Pediatric patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) have a more rapid decline of beta-cell function and progression to treatment failure than adult T2D patients. Thus, there is a strong interest in better understanding the natural history of prediabetes in these youth. We aimed to evaluate the real-world rate of progression of prediabetes to T2D in adolescent patients. Methods This is a retrospective study of 9,275 adolescent subjects aged 12-21 years-old with at least 3 years of de-identified commercial claims data and a new diagnosis of prediabetes during the observation period. Enrollees with a T2D diagnosis and/or diabetes medication use in the 1 year prior to prediabetes diagnosis or a T2D diagnosis in the 1 month following prediabetes diagnosis were excluded. Enrollees with diagnoses of type 1 diabetes (T1D) or polycystic ovarian syndrome over the 3 years were also excluded. Progression to T2D was defined by claims data of two T2D diagnoses at least 7 days apart, HbA1c ≥ 6.5%, and/or prescription of insulin without known T1D. Enrollees were followed for 2 years after prediabetes diagnosis. Results Overall, 232 subjects (2.5%) progressed from prediabetes to T2D. There were no differences found in T2D progression based on sex or age. Progression to T2D occurred at a median of 302 days after prediabetes diagnosis (IQR 123 to 518 days). This study was limited by the lack of laboratory/anthropometric data in administrative claims, as well as the exclusion of 23,825 enrollees for lack of continuous commercial claims data over 3 years. Conclusion In the largest sample to date on adolescent prediabetes, we found a 2.5% progression of prediabetes to T2D over a median duration of about one year.

Abstract
CONTEXT Prenatal exposures, including undernutrition, overnutrition, and parental diabetes, are recognized risk factors for future cardiometabolic disease. There are currently no data on effects of parental diabetes on disease progression or complications in youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D). OBJECTIVE We analyzed effects of parental diabetes history on glycemic outcomes, β-cell function, and complications in a US cohort of youth-onset T2D. METHODS Participants (N = 699) aged 10 to 17 years with T2D were enrolled at 15 US centers and followed for up to 12 years as part of the TODAY (Treatment Options for type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth) and TODAY2 follow-up studies. Information about diabetes diagnosis in biological mothers was available for 621 participants (never = 301; before or during pregnancy = 218; after pregnancy = 102) and in biological fathers for 519 (no diabetes = 352; paternal diabetes = 167). RESULTS Maternal, but not paternal, diabetes was associated with loss of glycemic control over time, defined as glycated hemoglobin A1c greater than or equal to 8% for more than 6 months (P = .001). Similarly, maternal, but not paternal, diabetes was associated with increased risk of glomerular hyperfiltration (P = .01) and low heart rate variability (P = .006) after 12 years of follow-up. Effects were largely independent of age, sex, race/ethnicity, and household income. Maternal diabetes during vs after pregnancy had similar effects on outcomes. CONCLUSION Maternal diabetes, regardless of whether diagnosed during vs after pregnancy, is associated with worse glycemic control, glomerular hyperfiltration, and reduced heart rate variability in youth with T2D in TODAY. The strong associations of diabetes outcomes with maternal diabetes suggest a possible role for in utero programming.

Abstract
The incidence and prevalence of youth-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its complications are increasing worldwide. Youth-onset T2DM has been reported in all racial and ethnic groups, but Indigenous peoples and people of colour are disproportionately affected. People with youth-onset T2DM often have a more aggressive clinical course than those with adult-onset T2DM or those with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Moreover, the available treatment options for children and adolescents with T2DM are more limited than for adult patients. Intermediate complications of youth-onset T2DM, such as increased albuminuria, often develop in late childhood or early adulthood, and end-stage complications, including kidney failure, develop in mid-life. The increasing frequency, earlier onset and greater severity of childhood obesity in the past 50 years together with increasingly sedentary lifestyles and an increasing frequency of intrauterine exposure to diabetes are important drivers of the epidemic of youth-onset T2DM. The particularly high risk of the disease in historically disadvantaged populations suggests an important contribution of social and environmental factors, including limited access to high-quality health care, healthy food choices and opportunities for physical activity as well as exposure to stressors including systemic racism and environmental pollutants. Understanding the mechanisms that underlie the development and aggressive clinical course of youth-onset T2DM is key to identifying successful prevention and management strategies.

Abstract
AIMS Youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) confers a high risk of early adverse cardiovascular morbidity. We describe the cumulative incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors over time and examine relationships with diabetes progression in young adults with youth-onset T2D from the Treatment Options for type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study. METHODS Longitudinal data was used to evaluate the relationships between hypertension, LDL-C dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and smoking with risk factors in 677 participants. RESULTS Baseline mean age was 14 ± 2 years and mean follow-up 10.2 ± 4.5 years. The 14-year cumulative incidence of hypertension, LDL-C dyslipidemia, and hypertriglyceridemia was 59%, 33%, and 37% respectively. Average prevalence of reported smoking was 23%. Male sex, non-Hispanic white race/ethnicity, obesity, poor glycemic control, lower insulin sensitivity, and reduced beta-cell function were significantly associated with an unfavorable risk profile. At end of follow-up, 54% had ≥2 cardiovascular risk factors in addition to T2D. CONCLUSIONS Cardiovascular risk factor incidence and prevalence was high over a decade of follow-up in young adults with youth-onset T2D. Glucose control and management of cardiovascular risk factors is critical in youth with T2D for prevention of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Several factors, including genetics, family history, diet, physical activity, obesity, and insulin resistance in puberty, appear to increase the risk of type 2 diabetes in youth. Youth-onset type 2 diabetes is often thought of as a single entity but rather exists as a spectrum of disease with differences in presentation, metabolic characteristics, clinical progression, and complication rates. We review what is currently known regarding the risks associated with developing type 2 diabetes in youth. Additionally, we focus on the spectrum of phenotypes of pediatric type 2 diabetes, discuss the pathogenic underpinnings and potential therapeutic relevance of this heterogeneity, and compare youth-onset type 2 diabetes with type 1 diabetes and adult-onset type 2 diabetes. Finally, we highlight knowledge gaps in prediction and prevention of youth-onset type 2 diabetes.

Effects of Metabolic Factors, Race-Ethnicity, and Sex on the Development of Nephropathy in Adolescents and Young Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: Results From the TODAY Study. Diabetes Care 2021; 45:dc211085. [PMID: 34531309 PMCID: PMC9174961 DOI: 10.2337/dc21-1085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2021] [Accepted: 08/05/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the longitudinal effects of sex, race-ethnicity, and metabolic factors on the risk of developing diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in the Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) cohort. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by serum creatinine and cystatin C were assessed annually for up to 15 years after study entry. Markers of DKD included micro- and macroalbuminuria (UACR ≥30 mg/g and ≥300 mg/g, respectively), hyperfiltration (eGFR ≥135 mL/min/1.73 m2), and rapid eGFR annual decline (>3 mL/min/1.73 m2 and/or ≥3.3%). The relationships between risk factors and DKD were evaluated longitudinally using time-to-event models. RESULTS Data were available on 677 participants, average age at baseline 14 years, with a mean ± SD follow-up of 10.2 ± 4.5 years. Each 1% increment in HbA1c conferred higher risk of microalbuminuria (hazard ratio 1.24 [95% CI 1.18, 1.30]), macroalbuminuria (1.22, [1.11, 1.34]), hyperfiltration (1.11, [1.05, 1.17]), and rapid eGFR decline (1.12, [1.04, 1.20]). Higher systolic blood pressure and baseline serum uric acid, and lower indices of β-cell function (C-peptide index and oral disposition index [oDI]), increased the risk of microalbuminuria, while higher triglycerides increased risk of micro- and macroalbuminuria. Lower oDI levels, female sex, and Hispanic ethnicity were associated with higher risk of hyperfiltration. CONCLUSIONS Elevated HbA1c was a shared risk factor among all phenotypes of DKD in this longitudinal cohort of adolescents and young adults with youth-onset type 2 diabetes. Other risk factors included elevated blood pressure, triglycerides, serum uric acid, and β-cell dysfunction.

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Comorbidities in Youth With Type 2 Diabetes in the Pediatric Diabetes Consortium (PDC). Diabetes Care 2021; 44:dc210143. [PMID: 34475033 DOI: 10.2337/dc21-0143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2021] [Accepted: 06/25/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes in the U.S. is more prevalent in youth of minority racial-ethnic background, but disparities in health outcomes have not been examined in this population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We examined racial-ethnic differences in the initial presentation and subsequent comorbidities in 1,217 youth with type 2 diabetes (63% girls) enrolled in the Pediatric Diabetes Consortium (PDC) Registry from February 2012 to June 2018. Demographic and clinical data were collected from medical records and participant self-report. RESULTS Overall, the mean age at presentation was 13.4 ± 2.4 years, and BMI was 35.0 ± 9.4 kg/m2. HbA1c was higher and C-peptide was lower in non-Hispanic Black (NHB) and Hispanic (H) youth compared with non-Hispanic White (NHW) youth. NHB were three times as likely to present in diabetic ketoacidosis (19%) versus NHW (6.3%) and H (7.5%), and NHB and H both had a worse HbA1c trajectory compared with NHW peers. Microalbuminuria was documented in 11%, hypertension in 34%, and dyslipidemia in 42% of Registry participants, with no significant difference among racial-ethnic groups. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was diagnosed in 9% and 11% of H and NHW, respectively, versus 2% in NHB. CONCLUSIONS NHB and H youth with type 2 diabetes presented with worse metabolic control and had persistently worse HbA1c trajectories compared with NHW. Comorbidities exist in a large percentage of these youth independent of race-ethnicity, except for NAFLD being less prevalent in NHB. Greater efforts are needed to mitigate racial-ethnic disparities at diagnosis and in the management of youth with type 2 diabetes.

TCF7L2 Genetic Variants Do Not Influence Insulin Sensitivity or Secretion Indices in Autoantibody-Positive Individuals at Risk for Type 1 Diabetes. Diabetes Care 2021; 44:2039-2044. [PMID: 34326068 PMCID: PMC8740915 DOI: 10.2337/dc21-0531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2021] [Accepted: 06/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to test whether type 2 diabetes (T2D)-associated TCF7L2 genetic variants affect insulin sensitivity or secretion in autoantibody-positive relatives at risk for type 1 diabetes (T1D). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied autoantibody-positive TrialNet Pathway to Prevention study participants (N = 1,061) (mean age 16.3 years) with TCF7L2 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) information and baseline oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to calculate indices of insulin sensitivity and secretion. With Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons, P values < 0.0086 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS None, one, and two T2D-linked TCF7L2 alleles were present in 48.1%, 43.9%, and 8.0% of the participants, respectively. Insulin sensitivity (as reflected by 1/fasting insulin [1/IF]) decreased with increasing BMI z score and was lower in Hispanics. Insulin secretion (as measured by 30-min C-peptide index) positively correlated with age and BMI z score. Oral disposition index was negatively correlated with age, BMI z score, and Hispanic ethnicity. None of the indices were associated with TCF7L2 SNPs. In multivariable analysis models with age, BMI z score, ethnicity, sex, and TCF7L2 alleles as independent variables, C-peptide index increased with age, while BMI z score was associated with higher insulin secretion (C-peptide index), lower insulin sensitivity (1/IF), and lower disposition index; there was no significant effect of TCF7L2 SNPs on any of these indices. When restricting the analyses to participants with a normal OGTT (n = 743; 70%), the results were similar. CONCLUSIONS In nondiabetic autoantibody-positive individuals, TCF7L2 SNPs were not related to insulin sensitivity or secretion indices after accounting for BMI z score, age, sex, and ethnicity.

Postintervention Effects of Varying Treatment Arms on Glycemic Failure and β-Cell Function in the TODAY Trial. Diabetes Care 2021; 44:75-80. [PMID: 33290248 PMCID: PMC7783942 DOI: 10.2337/dc20-0622] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2020] [Accepted: 10/08/2020] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Treatment Options for type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) trial demonstrated that glycemic failure rates were significantly lower in youth randomized to metformin plus rosiglitazone treatment than in youth randomized to metformin alone or metformin plus intensive lifestyle intervention. At the end of the study, rosiglitazone was permanently discontinued, and routine diabetes care resumed. Herein, we report postintervention glycemic failure rates in TODAY participants over an additional 36 months of follow-up for the three original treatment arms and describe insulin sensitivity and β-cell function outcomes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 699 participants were randomized during TODAY, of whom 572 enrolled in the TODAY2 observational follow-up. Glycemic failure was defined as HbA1c ≥8% over a 6-month period, inability to wean from temporary insulin therapy within 3 months after acute metabolic decompensation during TODAY, or sustained HbA1c ≥8% over two consecutive visits during TODAY2. Oral glucose tolerance tests were conducted, and insulin sensitivity, insulinogenic index, and oral disposition index were calculated. RESULTS During the 36 months of TODAY2, glycemic failure rates did not differ among participants by original treatment group assignment. Insulin sensitivity and β-cell function deteriorated rapidly during the 36 months of TODAY2 routine diabetes care but did not differ by treatment group assignment. CONCLUSIONS The added benefit of preventing glycemic failure by using rosiglitazone as a second agent in youth-onset type 2 diabetes did not persist after its discontinuation. More work is needed to address this rapid progression to avoid long-term diabetes complications.

Abstract
Youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a formidable threat to the health of obese adolescents because of its potential for early-onset and aggressive co-morbidities and complications. The physiology of youth-onset T2D differs from T2D in adults and is associated with a greater degree of insulin resistance, a more rapid decline in pancreatic β-cell function, and a poorer response to medications. Medical management in youth is focused on combining lifestyle intervention and pharmacological treatment, but these therapies have yet to demonstrate improvements in disease progression. Metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is now recommended for the treatment of T2D in adults largely because of the beneficial effects on weight, ability to improve glycemic control, and, in a large proportion of people, induce diabetes remission. MBS is now being performed in adolescents with severe obesity and T2D, with initial results also showing high rates of T2D remission. Here, we review the state of medical management of youth-onset T2D and the outcomes of MBS studies in youth with T2D published to date.

[PMID: 31418516 PMCID: PMC6953481 DOI: 10.1111/pedi.12906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2019] [Revised: 05/17/2019] [Accepted: 05/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand the factors associated with glycemic control after starting insulin in youth with type 2 diabetes following glycemic failure (persistent HbA1c ≥8%) with metformin alone, metformin + rosiglitazone or metformin + lifestyle in the TODAY study. METHODS Change in HbA1c after add-on insulin therapy and the factors predictive of glycemic response were evaluated. At 1-year postinsulin initiation, 253 youth had a mean of 3.9 ± 1.0 visits since the time of insulin initiation. Participants were divided into three groups according to glycemic control: consistent decrease in HbA1c by ≥0.5%, change <0.5%, or consistent increase in HbA1c ≥0.5%, at 75% or more of the visits. RESULTS Within 1-year postinsulin initiation, 33.2% of participants had a consistent HbA1c decrease of ≥0.5%, 46.2% changed HbA1c <0.5%, and 20.6% had an increase ≥0.5%. At randomization into TODAY and at time of insulin initiation, the three glycemia groups were similar in age, sex, race-ethnicity, pubertal stage, BMI z-score, diabetes duration, and insulin secretion indices. Consistent HbA1c improvement was associated with higher insulin sensitivity (1/fasting insulin) at randomization and at time of failure, higher adiponectin at randomization, and was not associated with indices of β-cell function. CONCLUSIONS Response to add-on insulin was highly variable among youth in TODAY. Greater insulin sensitivity and higher adiponectin concentrations at randomization were associated with improved glycemic control after initiation of insulin. Due to limited information on adherence to insulin injections, the roles of adherence to the prescribed insulin regimen or psychosocial factors are unknown.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether prior type 2 diabetes (T2D) treatment or glycemic control over time are independently associated with heart rate variability (HRV) and whether the presence of cardiac autonomic dysfunction is associated with arterial stiffness in young adults with youth-onset T2D enrolled in the Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Heartbeats over 10 min were measured to derive the normal R-Rs (NN intervals). Outcomes included the standard deviation of the NN intervals (SDNN), the root mean square differences of successive NN intervals (RMSSD), percent of NN beats that differ by more than 50 ms (PNN50), and the low-frequency (LF) power domain, high-frequency (HF) power domain, and their ratio (LF:HF). Autonomic dysfunction was defined as ≥3 of 5 abnormal HRV indices compared with obese controls from a separate study. RESULTS A total of 397 TODAY participants were evaluated 7 years after randomization. TODAY participants had reduced HRV (SDNN 58.1 ± 29.6 ms vs. controls 67.1 ± 25.4 ms; P < 0.0001) with parasympathetic loss (RMSSD 53.2 ± 36.7 ms vs. controls 67.9 ± 35.2 ms; P < 0.0001) with sympathetic overdrive (LF:HF ratio 1.4 ± 1.7 vs. controls 1.0 ± 1.1; P < 0.0001). Cardiac autonomic dysfunction was present in 8% of TODAY participants, and these participants had greater pulse wave velocity compared with those without dysfunction (P = 0.0001). HRV did not differ by randomized treatment, but higher hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) over time was independently associated with lower SDNN and RMSSD and higher LF:HF ratio after adjustment for age, race-ethnicity, sex, and BMI. CONCLUSIONS Young adults with youth-onset T2D show evidence of cardiac autonomic dysfunction with both parasympathetic and sympathetic impairments that are associated with higher HbA1c.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in children has increased dramatically. However, limited published information is known about the glycemic control and lipid outcomes in pediatric T2DM outside of clinical trials. OBJECTIVES To determine the glycemic control and lipid measure outcomes at one and three- year follow-up in children with T2DM. METHODS A retrospective electronic medical record review of children with T2DM at the Children's Hospital of Alabama over a 12-year period. RESULTS There were 301 patients with a diagnosis of T2DM who had a 1-year follow-up visit, of which 184 also had a 3-year follow-up. Most patients (78%) received either insulin with metformin or insulin alone at diagnosis. At one year, 37% of the cohort achieved 'optimal glycemic control' (HbA1C ≤6.5%) and 58% of patients achieved durable glycemic control (HbA1C ≤8%). Optimal glycemic control was seen in 48 patients at 3 years. The patients treated with insulin (alone or in combination with metformin) tended to have higher HbA1C at diagnosis, but had improved lipid and glycemic outcomes at follow-up. The group treated with insulin along with metformin had significant improvements in non-HDL, HDL and TC/HDL ratios. The effects of insulin treatment on glycemic control at 3 years were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION With the current modality of treatment, only a minority of patients achieve optimal glycemic control at 1 and 3 years of follow-up. Studies are warranted to further elucidate the optimal therapies in the management of pediatric T2DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Elevated serum uric acid (SUA) is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for kidney disease in adults with diabetes, but data in youth are limited. We hypothesized that elevated SUA predicts development of elevated urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and hypertension over time in teens with type 2 diabetes (T2D). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Serum creatinine, cystatin C, SUA, and the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) were assessed in 539 obese youth, ages 12-17 years, with T2D duration <2 years at baseline in the Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) study. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using creatinine and cystatin C. Hypertension was defined as systolic or diastolic blood pressure ≥130/80 mmHg and elevated UAE as UACR ≥30 mg/g. Cox proportional hazards models evaluated the relationship between SUA and outcome variables longitudinally over an average follow-up of 5.7 years, adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, BMI, HbA1c, eGFR, ACE inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker use, and TODAY treatment group assignment. RESULTS At baseline, hyperuricemia (≥6.8 mg/dL) was present in 25.6% of participants, hypertension in 18.7%, and elevated UAE in 6.1%. During follow-up of up to 7 years, hypertension developed in 37.4% and UAE in 18.0%. Higher baseline SUA increased the risk of incident hypertension (hazard ratio [HR] 1.19, 95% CI 1.03-1.38, per 1 mg/dL increase in SUA) and elevated UAE (HR 1.24, 95% CI 1.03-1.48) in adjusted models. CONCLUSIONS Hyperuricemia was common in youth with T2D. Higher baseline SUA independently increased the risk for onset of hypertension and elevated UAE. Research is needed to determine whether SUA-lowering therapies can impede development of diabetic kidney disease and hypertension in T2D youth.

Abstract
Adolescents with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have severe insulin resistance (IR) secondary to obesity, genetics, and puberty, and IR predicts metabolic comorbidities. Adults with T2D have multitissue IR, which has guided therapeutic developments, but this is not established in youth. We sought to assess adipose, hepatic, and peripheral insulin sensitivity in adolescents with and without T2D. Twenty-seven youth with T2D [age: 15.6 ± 0.4 yr; female: 78%; body mass index (BMI) percentile: 96.1 (52.6, 95.9), late puberty; hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 7.3% (6.2, 10.1)] and 21 controls of similar BMI, pubertal stage, and habitual activity were enrolled. Insulin action was measured with a four-phase hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp (basal, 10, 16, and 80 mU·m-2·min-1 for studying adipose, hepatic, and peripheral IR, respectively) with glucose and glycerol isotope tracers. Total fat mass, fat-free mass, liver fat fraction, and visceral fat were measured with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and MRI, respectively. Free fatty acids (FFAs), lipid profile, and inflammatory markers were also measured. Adolescents with T2D had higher lipolysis ( P = 0.012), endogenous glucose production ( P < 0.0001), and lower glucose clearance ( P = 0.002) during hyperinsulinemia than controls. In T2D, peripheral IR positively correlated to FFA ( P < 0.001), inflammatory markers, visceral ( P = 0.004) and hepatic fat ( P = 0.007); hepatic IR correlated with central obesity ( P = 0.004) and adipose IR ( P = 0.003). Youth with T2D have profound multitissue IR compared with BMI-equivalent youth without T2D. The development of multitissue interactions appears crucial to the pathogenesis of T2D. Therapeutic targets on multitissue IR may be of benefit, deserving of further research.

Bacha F, Cheng P, Gal RL, Kollman C, Tamborlane WV, Klingensmith GJ, Manseau K, Wood J, Beck RW. Initial Presentation of Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents Predicts Durability of Successful Treatment with Metformin Monotherapy: Insights from the Pediatric Diabetes Consortium T2D Registry. Horm Res Paediatr 2018; 89:47-55. [PMID: 29131017 DOI: 10.1159/000481687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2017] [Accepted: 09/21/2017] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Many adolescents with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have rapid deterioration of glycemic control on metformin monotherapy within 2 years of diagnosis. METHODS Enrollment data from the Pediatric Diabetes Consortium T2D Registry were used to categorize 276 youth with a T2D duration ≥2 years into two groups: (1) participants with HbA1c <7.5% on metformin monotherapy (group 1, n = 75) and (2) participants treated with insulin ± metformin (group 2, n = 201). The characteristics of the groups were compared. RESULTS At enrollment, groups 1 and 2 did not differ in age (16.2 vs. 16.8 years) or BMI percentile (99 vs. 98%); group 2 had higher HbA1c (9.9% [85 mmol/mol] vs. 5.9% [41 mmol/mol], p < 0.001). Lower HbA1c and metformin monotherapy at diagnosis were associated with a greater likelihood of adequate control with metformin alone (p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, HbA1c at diagnosis (p = 0.001) and diabetes duration (p = 0.009) were associated with adequate control on metformin. The HbA1c trajectory after diagnosis was worse in group 2. CONCLUSION Durable metabolic control of T2D with metformin monotherapy is most likely in youth presenting with lower HbA1c and with shorter diabetes duration, independent of age, race-ethnicity, and BMI. Elevated HbA1c levels in those on insulin therapy highlight the importance of early diagnosis and a better understanding of glycemic control barriers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes may be a more heterogeneous disease than previously thought. Better understanding of pathophysiological subphenotypes could lead to more individualized diabetes treatment. We examined the characteristics of different phenotypes among 5813 Danish patients with new clinically diagnosed type 2 diabetes. METHODS We first identified all patients with rare subtypes of diabetes, latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA), secondary diabetes, or glucocorticoid-associated diabetes. We then used the homeostatic assessment model to subphenotype all remaining patients into insulinopenic (high insulin sensitivity and low beta cell function), classical (low insulin sensitivity and low beta cell function), or hyperinsulinemic (low insulin sensitivity and high beta cell function) type 2 diabetes. RESULTS Among 5813 patients diagnosed with incident type 2 diabetes in the community clinical setting, 0.4% had rare subtypes of diabetes, 2.8% had LADA, 0.7% had secondary diabetes, 2.4% had glucocorticoid-associated diabetes, and 93.7% had WHO-defined type 2 diabetes. In the latter group, 9.7% had insulinopenic, 63.1% had classical, and 27.2% had hyperinsulinemic type 2 diabetes. Classical patients were obese (median waist 105 cm), and 20.5% had cardiovascular disease (CVD) at diagnosis, while insulinopenic patients were fairly lean (waist 92 cm) and 17.5% had CVD (P = 0.14 vs classical diabetes). Hyperinsulinemic patients were severely obese (waist 112 cm), and 25.5% had CVD (P < 0.0001 vs classical diabetes). CONCLUSIONS Patients clinically diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are a heterogeneous group. In the future, targeted treatment based on pathophysiological characteristics rather than the current "one size fits all" approach may improve patient prognosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is used both in clinical practice and research to assess glucose tolerance. In addition, the OGTT is utilized for surrogate measures of insulin sensitivity and the insulin response to enteral glucose and has been widely applied in the evaluation of β-cell dysfunction in obesity, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes. Here we review the use of the OGTT and the OGTT-derived indices for measurement of risk markers for type 2 diabetes in youth. RECENT FINDINGS Advantages of using the OGTT for measures of diabetes risk include its accessibility and the incorporation of physiological contributions of the gut-pancreas axis in the measures of insulin response to glucose. Mathematical modeling expands the potential gains from the OGTT in physiology and clinical research. Disadvantages include individual differences in the rate of glucose absorption that modify insulin responses, imperfect control of the glycemic stimulus, and poor intraindividual reproducibility. Available research suggests the OGTT provides valuable information about the development of impaired glycemic control and β-cell function in obese youth along the spectrum of glucose tolerance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic kidney disease is a major cause of premature mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Worsening insulin sensitivity independent of glycemic control may contribute to the development of diabetic kidney disease. We investigated the longitudinal association of insulin sensitivity with hyperfiltration and increased albumin excretion in adolescents with T2DM. STUDY DESIGN Observational prospective cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 532 TODAY (Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth) participants aged 12 to 17 years with T2DM duration less than 2 years at baseline. The TODAY Study was a multicenter randomized clinical trial that examined the efficacy of 3 treatment regimens (metformin monotherapy, metformin plus rosiglitazone, or metformin plus an intensive lifestyle intervention program) to achieve durable glycemic control. PREDICTORS Natural log-transformed estimated insulin sensitivity (reciprocal of fasting insulin), hemoglobin A1c concentration, age, race-ethnicity, treatment group, body mass index, loss of glycemic control, and hypertension. OUTCOMES Hyperfiltration was defined as 99th percentile or higher of estimated glomerular filtration rate (≥140mL/min/1.73m2) when referenced to healthy adolescents (NHANES 1999-2002) and albumin-creatinine ratio ≥ 30μg/mg at 3 consecutive annual visits. RESULTS Hyperfiltration was observed in 7.0% of participants at baseline and in 13.3% by 5 years, with a cumulative incidence of 5.0% over 5 years. The prevalence of increased albumin excretion was 6% at baseline and 18% by 5 years, with a cumulative incidence of 13.4%. There was an 8% increase in risk for hyperfiltration per 10% lower estimated insulin sensitivity in unadjusted and adjusted models (P=0.01). Increased albumin excretion was associated with hemoglobin A1c concentration, but not estimated insulin sensitivity. LIMITATIONS Longer follow-up is needed to capture the transition from hyperfiltration to rapid glomerular filtration rate decline in youth-onset T2DM. CONCLUSIONS Lower estimated insulin sensitivity was associated with risk for hyperfiltration over time, whereas increased albumin excretion was associated with hyperglycemia in youth-onset T2DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To characterize children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) insured by a large health maintenance organization, and to identify variables associated with treatment quality and disease outcome. STUDY DESIGN Children and adolescents diagnosed with T2DM over a 9-year period were identified from the database of Clalit Health Services, a large health maintenance organization in Israel (1 213 362 members aged 0-18 years). Demographic, anthropometric, clinical, and laboratory data were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 96 patients (47 males) met our inclusion criteria. The mean age at diagnosis of T2DM was 14.25 ± 2.51 years. At the time of diagnosis, the median hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level was 7.8%, and additional components of the metabolic syndrome were present in 14.9%-67.4% of the patients. At the end of the follow-up period (3.11 ± 1.75 years), >50% of the patients were being treated with insulin; the median HbA1c value was 7.97%, and 44.6% of the patients achieved the target HbA1c of <7.0%. On multivariate linear regression analysis, the variables found to predict worse glycemic control (ie, higher HbA1c) were a higher HbA1c at diagnosis, a higher body mass index SD score at diagnosis, fewer annual HbA1c tests, and Arabic ethnicity [F(4,81) = 7.139; P < .001; R2 = 0.271]. CONCLUSION This population-based study of pediatric patients with T2DM demonstrates that reasonable glycemic control can be achieved in both community and outpatient hospital settings. Nevertheless, there is room for improvement in intervention programs to optimize outcomes and decrease the risk of complications.

Abstract
Background Limited evidence is available about the relationship of lifestyle factors with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance. The aim of study was to identify such determinant factors of HbA1c in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance. Methods This cross-sectional study included 121 men and 124 women with impaired glucose tolerance, who were diagnosed based on a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test. Demographic and biochemical parameters, including the body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h post-load glucose (2-h PG), and HbA1c, were measured. The pancreatic β-cell function and insulin resistance were assessed using homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-β). Dietary intake was assessed by a food frequency questionnaire. Results The levels of FPG, 2-h PG, and carbohydrate intake were correlated with the HbA1c level in men, while the FPG and 2-h PG levels were correlated with the HbA1c level in women. In multiple regression analyses, BMI, FPG, 2-h PG, and white rice intake were associated with HbA1c levels in men, while BMI, FPG, HOMA-β, and bread intake were associated with HbA1c levels in women. Conclusions The present findings suggest that a substantial portion of HbA1c may be composed of not only glycemic but also several lifestyle factors in men with impaired glucose tolerance. These factors can be taken into consideration as modifiable determinants in assessing the HbA1c level for the diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of the disease course.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is a significant and increasing burden in adolescents and young adults. Clear strategies for research, prevention, and treatment of the disease in these vulnerable patients are needed. Evidence suggests that type 2 diabetes in children is different not only from type 1 but also from type 2 diabetes in adults. Understanding the unique pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes in youth, as well as the risk of complications and the psychosocial impact, will enable industry, academia, funding agencies, advocacy groups, and regulators to collectively evaluate both current and future research, treatment, and prevention approaches. This Consensus Report characterizes type 2 diabetes in children, evaluates the fundamental differences between childhood and adult disease, describes the current therapeutic options, and discusses challenges to and approaches for developing new treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe C-peptide levels in a large cohort of children with type 2 diabetes T2D and examine associations with demographic and clinical factors. METHODS The Pediatric Diabetes Consortium (PDC) T2D Registry has collected clinical and biologic data from youth with T2D cared for at eight US Pediatric Diabetes Centers. In this study, we assessed C-peptide levels in 331 youth with T2D (mean age, 16.1 ± 2.5 yr; median T2D duration, 2.4 yr). RESULTS Median (interquartile range) for 90 fasted C-peptide measurements was 3.5 ng/mL (2.3-4.8 ng/mL) [1.2 nmol/L (0.8-1.6 nmol/L)] and for 241 random non-fasted C-peptide measurements were 4.2 ng/mL (2.6-7.0 ng/mL) [1.4 nmol/L (0.9-2.3 nmol/L)]. C-peptide levels were lower with insulin therapy (p < 0.001), lower body mass index (p < 0.001), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥9% (p < 0.001), and T2D duration ≥ 6 yr (p = 0.04). Among those with duration ≥6 yr being treated with insulin and with a HbA1c level ≥9.0% (75 mmol/L), 75% of the fasted and 80% of the non-fasted C-peptide values were above 0.2 nmol/L. CONCLUSIONS In youth with T2D, a decline in C-peptide is associated with deterioration of metabolic control and the need for insulin treatment. C-peptide levels decrease over time. However, even insulin-treated patients with 6 or more years of T2D and elevated HbA1c levels retain substantial endogenous insulin secretion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objectives were to (i) describe the characteristics of a large ethnically/racially and geographically diverse population of adolescents with recent-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D), and (ii) assess the effects of short-term diabetes education and treatment with metformin on clinical and biochemical parameters in this cohort. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Descriptive characteristics were determined for subjects screened for Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) who met criteria for diagnosis of T2D (n = 1092). Changes in clinical and biochemical parameters were determined for those who completed at least 8 wk of the run-in phase of the trial, which included standardized diabetes education and treatment with metformin. Further analysis determined whether these changes differed according to the treatment at screening. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Demographic, biochemical measurements, and anthropometrics at screening and changes over 8 wk of run-in were the outcome measures. RESULTS Subjects screened for TODAY had a median age of 14 yr and median hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of 6.9% (52 mM/M), 2/3 were female, and ethnic/racial minorities were overrepresented. Dyslipidemia and hypertension were common comorbidities. During run-in, HbA1c, body mass index, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure significantly improved. Nearly all participants on insulin therapy at screening were able to attain target HbA1c following insulin discontinuation. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with metformin and diabetes education provided short-term improvements in glycemic control and cardiometabolic risk factors in a large adolescent T2D cohort. Nearly all insulin-treated youth could be successfully weaned off insulin with continued improvement in glycemic control.

HbA1c After a Short Period of Monotherapy With Metformin Identifies Durable Glycemic Control Among Adolescents With Type 2 Diabetes. Diabetes Care 2015; 38:2285-92. [PMID: 26537182 PMCID: PMC4657618 DOI: 10.2337/dc15-0848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2015] [Accepted: 09/07/2015] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether clinically accessible parameters early in the course of youth-onset type 2 diabetes predict likelihood of durable control on oral therapy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS TODAY was a randomized clinical trial of adolescents with type 2 diabetes. Two groups, including participants from all three treatments, were defined for analysis: (1) those who remained in glycemic control for at least 48 months of follow-up and (2) those who lost glycemic control before 48 months. Outcome group was analyzed in univariate and multivariate models as a function of baseline characteristics (age, sex, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, BMI, waist circumference, Tanner stage, disease duration, depressive symptoms) and biochemical measures (HbA1c, C-peptide, lean and fat body mass, insulin inverse, insulinogenic index). Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to analyze HbA1c cut points. RESULTS In multivariate models including factors significant in univariate analysis, only HbA1c and insulinogenic index at randomization remained significant (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.0002, respectively). An HbA1c cutoff of 6.3% (45 mmol/mol) (positive likelihood ratio [PLR] 3.7) was identified that optimally distinguished the groups; sex-specific cutoffs were 6.3% (45 mmol/mol) for females (PLR 4.4) and 5.6% (38 mmol/mol) for males (PLR 2.1). CONCLUSIONS Identifying youth with type 2 diabetes at risk for rapid loss of glycemic control would allow more targeted therapy. HbA1c is a clinically accessible measure to identify high risk for loss of glycemic control on oral therapy. Adolescents with type 2 diabetes unable to attain a non-diabetes range HbA1c on metformin are at increased risk for rapid loss of glycemic control.

Abstract
Co-morbidities of obesity in children mirror those seen in adults. Virtually any body system can be affected. The January 2015 issue of the NASN School Nurse featured an introductory article on childhood obesity. This article is the first of six related articles focusing on co-morbidities of childhood obesity and focuses on type 2 diabetes (T2D). School nurses can play an integral role in the identification, prevention, and treatment of childhood obesity. With one in three of our nation's school-age children diagnosed as overweight or obese, it is imperative that school nurses join families, public health agencies, and medical communities in mounting a coordinated attack against this threat.

Abstract
The incidence of youth type 2 diabetes (T2D), linked with obesity and declining physical activity in high-risk populations, is increasing. Recent multicenter studies have led to a number of advances in our understanding of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and complications of this disease. As in adult T2D, youth T2D is associated with insulin resistance, together with progressive deterioration in β cell function and relative insulin deficiency in the absence of diabetes-related immune markers. In contrast to adult T2D, the decline in β cell function in youth T2D is three- to fourfold faster, and therapeutic failure rates are significantly higher in youth than in adults. Whether the more aggressive nature of youth T2D is driven by genetic heterogeneity or physiology/metabolic maladaptation is yet unknown. Besides metformin, the lack of approved pharmacotherapeutic agents for youth T2D that target the pathophysiological mechanisms is a major barrier to optimal diabetes management. There is a significant need for effective therapeutic options, in addition to increased prevention, to halt the projected fourfold increase in youth T2D by 2050 and the consequences of heightened diabetes-related morbidity and mortality at younger ages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Decrease of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors-δ (PPARδ) expression has been observed after spinal cord injury (SCI). Increase of PPARδ may improve the damage in SCI. Telmisartan, the antihypertensive agent, has been mentioned to increase the expression of PPARδ. Thus, we are going to screen the effectiveness of telmisartan in SCI for the development of it in clinical application. METHODS In the present study, we used compressive SCI in rats. Telmisartan was then used to evaluate the influence in rats after SCI. Change in PPARδ expression was identified by Western blots. Also, behavioral tests were performed to check the recovery of damage. RESULTS Recovery of damage from SCI was observed in telmisartan-treated rats. Additionally, this action of telmisartan was inhibited by GSK0660 at the dose sufficient to block PPARδ. However, metformin at the dose enough to activate adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase failed to produce similar action as telmisartan. Thus, mediation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase in this action of telmisartan can be rule out. Moreover, telmisartan reversed the expressions of PPARδ in rats with SCI. CONCLUSION The obtained data suggest that telmisartan can improve the damage of SCI in rats through an increase in PPARδ expression. Thus, telmisartan is useful to be developed as an agent in the therapy of SCI.

Abstract
Youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasingly recognized as a disorder with substantial risk for long-term metabolic, cardiovascular, and renal morbidity and mortality, as well as individual and societal burden. Recent studies suggest that the disorder differs from adult-onset T2D in a variety of ways and that there is an urgent need for an expanded set of treatment options. However, demographic, economic, and social challenges limit the number of eligible candidates for clinical trials in youth-onset T2D, and a growing number trials mandated by regulatory agencies have created a circumstance in which too many trials are chasing too few eligible participants. A solution to this situation will require novel approaches to clinical trial design incorporating collaboration among clinical investigators, pharmaceutical sponsors, and regulatory agencies. If successful, this approach could also serve as a model for clinical trials in other rare and understudied pediatric disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and prediabetes have increased in prevalence among overweight and obese children, with significant implications for long-term health. There is little published evidence on the best approaches to care of prediabetes among overweight youth or the current practices used across pediatric weight management programs. METHODS This article reviews the literature and summarizes current practices for screening, diagnosis, and treatment of prediabetes at childhood obesity treatment centers. Findings regarding current practice were based on responses to an online survey from 28 pediatric weight management programs at 25 children's hospitals in 2012. Based on the literature reviewed, and empiric data, consensus support statements on prediabetes care and T2DM prevention were developed among representatives of these 25 children's hospitals' obesity clinics. RESULTS The evidence reviewed demonstrates that current T2DM and prediabetes diagnostic parameters are derived from adult-based studies with little understanding of clinical outcomes among youth. Very limited evidence exists on preventing progression of prediabetes. Some evidence suggests that a significant proportion of obese youth with prediabetes will revert to normoglycemia without pharmacological management. Evidence supports lifestyle modification for children with prediabetes, but further study of specific lifestyle changes and pharmacological treatments is needed. CONCLUSION Evidence to guide management of prediabetes in children is limited. Current practice patterns of pediatric weight management programs show areas of variability in practice, reflecting the limited evidence base. More research is needed to guide clinical care for overweight youth with prediabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Restoring Insulin Secretion (RISE) Consortium is testing interventions designed to preserve or improve β-cell function in prediabetes or early type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS β-Cell function is measured using hyperglycemic clamps and oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs). The adult medication protocol randomizes participants to 12 months of placebo, metformin alone, liraglutide plus metformin, or insulin (3 months) followed by metformin (9 months). The pediatric medication protocol randomizes participants to metformin or insulin followed by metformin. The adult surgical protocol randomizes participants to gastric banding or metformin (24 months). Adult medication protocol inclusion criteria include fasting plasma glucose 95-125 mg/dL (5.3-6.9 mmol/L), OGTT 2-h glucose ≥140 mg/dL (≥7.8 mmol/L), HbA1c 5.8-7.0% (40-53 mmol/mol), and BMI 25-40 kg/m(2). Adult surgical protocol criteria are similar, except for fasting plasma glucose ≥90 mg/dL (≥5.0 mmol/L), BMI 30-40 kg/m(2), HbA1c <7.0% (<53 mmol/mol), and diabetes duration <12 months. Pediatric inclusion criteria include fasting plasma glucose ≥90 mg/dL (≥5.0 mmol/L), 2-h glucose ≥140 mg/dL (≥7.8 mmol/L), HbA1c ≤8.0% (≤64 mmol/mol), BMI >85th percentile and ≤50 kg/m(2), 10-19 years of age, and diabetes <6 months. RESULTS Primary outcomes are clamp-derived glucose-stimulated C-peptide secretion and maximal C-peptide response to arginine during hyperglycemia. Measurements are made at baseline, after 12 months on treatment, and 3 months after treatment withdrawal (medication protocols) or 24 months postintervention (surgery protocol). OGTT-derived measures are also obtained at these time points. CONCLUSIONS RISE is determining whether medication or surgical intervention strategies can mitigate progressive β-cell dysfunction in adults and youth with prediabetes or early type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Obesity is on the rise in the pediatric population. Obese individuals are at risk for insulin resistance, and this in combination with impaired β-cell function can result in type 2 diabetes. The diagnosis of insulin resistance is made in clinical practice by using estimates of insulin sensitivity. Scientific evidence regarding the evaluation of insulin resistance in children has revealed conflicting conclusions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Treatment Options for type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth (TODAY) trial demonstrated that combination therapy with metformin plus rosiglitazone provided superior durability of glycemic control compared with metformin alone, with significantly lower treatment failure rates (38.6 vs. 51.7%), and metformin plus lifestyle was intermediate. Herein we describe the temporal changes in measures of β-cell function and insulin sensitivity over a 4-year period among the three treatments. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS TODAY participants (699) were tested periodically with an oral glucose tolerance test to determine insulin sensitivity (1/fasting insulin [1/IF]), insulinogenic index (ΔI(30)/ΔG(30)) or C-peptide index (ΔC(30)/ΔG(30)), and β-cell function relative to insulin sensitivity (oral disposition index [oDI]). RESULTS During the first 6 months, metformin plus rosiglitazone exhibited a significantly greater improvement in insulin sensitivity and oDI versus metformin alone and versus metformin plus lifestyle; these improvements were sustained over 48 months of TODAY. Irrespective of treatment, those who failed to maintain glycemic control had significantly lower β-cell function (~50%), higher fasting glucose concentration, and higher HbA1c at randomization compared with those who did not fail. CONCLUSIONS The beneficial change in insulin sensitivity and the resultant lower burden on β-cell function achieved in the first 6 months with metformin plus rosiglitazone appear to be responsible for its superior glycemic durability over metformin alone and metformin plus lifestyle. However, initial β-cell reserve and HbA1c at randomization are independent predictors of glycemic durability. Therefore, efforts to preserve β-cell function before significant loss occurs and to reduce HbA1c may be beneficial in the treatment of youth with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In adults, type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is characterized with progressive deterioration in insulin secretion. Data are scanty in youth. We investigated prospectively the change in β-cell function and in insulin sensitivity in youth with T2DM. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Six adolescents with T2DM [hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 6.6 ± 1.0%] underwent evaluation of hepatic glucose production (HGP; [6,6-²H₂] glucose), insulin-stimulated glucose disposal (Rd; hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp), first- and second-phase insulin/C-peptide secretion (hyperglycemic clamp), body composition dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and abdominal adiposity (computed tomography) within 3 yr of the diagnosis of diabetes and after 12-16 months of follow-up. RESULTS Weight, body mass index (37.1 ± 6.9), HbA1c (6.3 ± 0.7%), HGP (2.8 ± 1.2 mg/kg/min), and Rd (4.9 ± 3.4 mg/kg/min) did not change significantly from baseline. However, first-phase insulin and C-peptide declined (152.6 ± 261.2 vs. 75.9 ± 108.5 μU/mL, p = 0.028; 8.0 ± 6.3 vs. 5.9 ± 4.4 ng/mL, p = 0.048, respectively) with no significant change in second-phase insulin/C-peptide. The rate of decline in β-cell function was ∼20% per year. CONCLUSIONS After a median duration of 20 months of diabetes, youth with T2DM manifest a rapid decline in β-cell function with no significant changes in peripheral or hepatic insulin sensitivity. Interventions to retard this deterioration in β-cell function should be investigated.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review focuses on recent literature on insulin resistance in youth with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Insulin resistance is associated with a variety of cardiometabolic problems leading to increased morbidity and mortality across the lifespan. RECENT FINDINGS Functional pancreatic β-cell changes play a role in the transition from obesity to impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Insulin resistance drives islet cell upregulation, manifested by elevated glucagon and c-peptide levels, early in the transition to IGT. Surrogate measurements of insulin resistance and insulin secretion exist but their accuracy compared to clamp data is imperfect. Recent large longitudinal studies provide detailed information on the progression from normoglycemia to T2DM and on the phenotype of T2DM youth. Defining prediabetes and T2DM remains a challenge in youth. Lifestyle interventions do not appear as effective in children as in adults. Metformin remains the only oral hypoglycemic agent approved for T2DM in youth. SUMMARY New insights exist regarding the conversion from insulin resistance to T2DM, measurement of insulin resistance and phenotypes of insulin resistance youth, but more information is needed. Surrogate measurements of insulin resistance, additional treatment options for insulin resistance and individualization of treatment options for T2DM adolescents in particular require further investigation.
