Abstract
Diabetes can be an arduous journey both for people with diabetes (PWD) and their caregivers. While the journey of every person with diabetes is unique, common themes emerge in managing this disease. To date, the experiences of PWD have not been fully considered to successfully implement the recommended standards of diabetes care in practice. It is critical for health-care providers (HCPs) to recognize perspectives of PWD to achieve optimal health outcomes. Further, existing tools are available to facilitate patient-centered care but are often underused. This statement summarizes findings from multistakeholder expert roundtable discussions hosted by the Endocrine Society that aimed to identify existing gaps in the management of diabetes and its complications and to identify tools needed to empower HCPs and PWD to address their many challenges. The roundtables included delegates from professional societies, governmental organizations, patient advocacy organizations, and social enterprises committed to making life better for PWD. Each section begins with a clinical scenario that serves as a framework to achieve desired health outcomes and includes a discussion of resources for HCPs to deliver patient-centered care in clinical practice. As diabetes management evolves, achieving this goal will also require the development of new tools to help guide HCPs in supporting PWD, as well as concrete strategies for the efficient uptake of these tools in clinical practice to minimize provider burden. Importantly, coordination among various stakeholders including PWD, HCPs, caregivers, policymakers, and payers is critical at all stages of the patient journey.

Glycemic and Cost Outcomes among Hispanic/Latino People with Type 2 Diabetes in the USA Initiating Dulaglutide versus Basal Insulin: a Real-World Study. Diabetes Ther 2024; 15:855-867. [PMID: 38427164 PMCID: PMC10951167 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-024-01542-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Optimal glycemic management after diabetes onset remains a challenge in Hispanic/Latino adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D), often resulting in poor health outcomes and higher rates of diabetes-related complications. The aim of this study was to examine and compare demographic and clinical characteristics, glycemic outcomes, health care resource utilization (HCRU), and costs among injection-naïve Hispanic/Latino adults with T2D initiating dulaglutide or basal insulin. METHODS This retrospective, observational study used administrative claims data from the Optum Research Database. Hispanic/Latino adults with T2D were assigned to dulaglutide or basal insulin cohorts on the basis of pharmacy claims and were propensity-score matched on demographic and baseline characteristics. Measures of glycemic management included 12 month follow-up glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and change in HbA1c from baseline. Follow-up all-cause and diabetes-related HCRU and costs, including costs per 1% change in HbA1c, were compared between cohorts. RESULTS The final propensity-score matched sample included 2872 patients: 1436 patients in each cohort. Mean (SD) reduction in HbA1c from baseline to 12 month follow-up was greater in the dulaglutide cohort compared with the basal insulin cohort [-1.40% (1.88) versus -0.92% (2.07); p < 0.001]. The dulaglutide cohort had significantly lower proportions of patients with ≥ 1 all-cause and diabetes-related outpatient visits, emergency room visits, and inpatient stays compared with the basal insulin cohort (p < 0.05). The dulaglutide cohort had significantly lower all-cause total costs per 1% HbA1c reduction than the basal insulin cohort ($13,768 versus $19,128; p < 0.001). Diabetes-related costs per 1% reduction were numerically lower for the dulaglutide cohort, but the difference was not statistically significant ($9737 versus $11,403; p = 0.081). CONCLUSIONS Dulaglutide demonstrated better glycemic outcomes and lower all-cause costs per 1% HbA1c reduction among Hispanic/Latino adults compared with those initiating basal insulin. Our real-world findings in the Hispanic/Latino population were consistent with results obtained from the overall population and confirm the glycemic benefits of dulaglutide observed in clinical settings.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION To develop and validate a simple prediction model for hypoglycemia risk in patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively analyzed the data of 1,303 subjects in a third-class hospital in Tianjin and followed up their hypoglycemia events at 3 and 6 months. The hypoglycemia risk prediction models for 3 and 6 months were developed and the model performance was evaluated. RESULTS A total of 340 (28.4%) patients experienced hypoglycemia within 3 months and 462 (37.2%) within 6 months during the follow-up period. Age, central obesity, intensive insulin therapy, frequency of hypoglycemia in the past year, and hypoglycemia prevention education entered both model3month and model6month. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of model3month and model6month were 0.711 and 0.723, respectively. The Youden index was 0.315 and 0.361, while the sensitivities were 0.615 and 0.714, and the specificities were 0.717 and 0.631. The calibration curves showed that the models were similar to reality. The decision curves implied that the clinical net benefit of the model was clear. CONCLUSIONS The study developed 3 and 6 month hypoglycemia risk prediction models for patients with type 2 diabetes. The discrimination and calibration of the two prediction models were good, and might help to improve clinical decision-making and guide patients to more reasonable self-care and hypoglycemia prevention at home.

Abstract
Aim Numerous evidence suggests that diabetes increases the risk of cognitive impairment. This study aimed to develop and validate a multivariable risk score model to identify mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods This cross-sectional study included 1256 inpatients (age: 57.5 ± 11.2 years) with T2DM in a tertiary care hospital in China. MCI was diagnosed according to the criteria recommended by the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer's Association Workgroup, and a MoCA score of 19-25 indicated MCI. Participants were randomly allocated into the derivation and validation sets at 7:3 ratio. Logistic regression models were used to identify predictors for MCI in the derivation set. A scoring system based on the predictors' beta coefficient was developed. Predictive ability of the risk score was tested by discrimination and calibration methods. Results Totally 880 (285 with MCI, 32.4%) and 376 (167 with MCI, 33.8%) patients were allocated in the derivation and validation set, respectively. Age, education, HbA1c, self-reported history of severe hypoglycemia, and microvascular disease were identified as predictors for MCI and constituted the risk score. The AUCs (95% CI) of the risk score were 0.751 (0.717, 0.784) in derivation set and 0.776 (0.727, 0.824) in validation set. The risk score showed good apparent calibration of observed and predicted MCI probabilities and was capable of stratifying individuals into 3 risk categories by two cut-off points (low risk: ≤ 3, medium risk: 4-13, and high risk ≥ 14). Conclusion The risk score based on age, education, HbA1c, self-reported history of severe hypoglycemia, and microvascular disease can effectively assess MCI risk in adults with T2DM at different age. It can serve as a practical prescreening tool for early detection of MCI in daily diabetes care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of temporary insulin pump use during hospitalization on glycemia, postoperative complications, and cost/utilization in perioperative patients with diabetes. METHODS Patients (n=159) with type 2 diabetes and hospitalized for elective surgery were recruited from three hospitals. Subjects were categorized into the insulin pump group and the multiple daily subcutaneous insulin injection group according to their treatment therapy. Data were collected at admission, discharge, and 3 months post-discharge. RESULTS Subjects in the CSII group who were still on insulin therapy transitioned from CSII to MDII; however, their daily insulin dosages were lower than those in the MDII group (15.31±10.98 U/d vs. 23.48±17.02 U/d, P=0.015) after discharge. In terms of medical costs, the CSII group had significantly higher hospitalization costs than the MDII group (112.36±103.43 thousand RMB vs. 82.65±77.98 thousand RMB, P=0.043). After 3 months, the CSII group had significantly lower outpatient costs than the MDII group (3.17±0.94 thousand RMB vs. 3.98±1.76 thousand RMB, P ˂ 0.001). In the MDII group, 10 patients reported severe postoperative complications requiring re-hospitalization; there were no similar reports in the CSII group. CONCLUSION Temporary use of insulin pump therapy for perioperative patients with diabetes results in a reduction in blood glucose and blood glucose fluctuation during hospitalization, HbA1c, and the risk of postoperative complication and readmission, thus significantly decreasing costs in this complex patient cohort. Further work is needed to better understand indications for utilizing pump therapy based on diabetes phenotype and the complexity of planned surgical intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to examine the relationship between parents' fear of hypoglycemia (FH) over a 1-year period and child glucose metrics in 126 families of youth recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS Parents completed the Hypoglycemia Fear Survey for Parents (HFS-P) and uploaded 14 days of glucose data at a baseline, 6-month, and 12-month assessment. RESULTS Parents' HFS-P total and worry scores increased to a clinically meaningful degree from baseline to 6-month assessment, while multilevel models revealed within- and between-person variability in parents' HFS-P worry and behavior scores over time associated with child glycemia. Specifically, a significant negative relationship for within-person worry scores suggested that when parents reported higher than their average worry scores, their children recorded fewer glucose values in the target range, while within-person behavior scores suggested that when parents reported lower than their average behavior scores, their children recorded more values above the target range. There was also a negative relationship for between-person behavior scores with child glycated hemoglobin and a positive relationship for between-person behavior scores with child glucose values in the target range. CONCLUSIONS In the recent-onset period of T1D, parental FH worry and behavior associated with child glycemia possibly due to changes in parents' perceptions of their child's hypoglycemia risk. The clinically meaningful increases in parent FH in the recent-onset period and the negative association for between-person behavior scores with child glycated hemoglobin suggest that clinics should consider screening parents for FH, especially among parents of children with lower glycemic levels.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the effect of using sensor-augmented pump therapy (SAP) during pregnancy on neonatal birth weight percentile and other neonatal and pregnancy outcomes. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included consecutive women with pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) treated with an insulin pump and sensor that enabled the SAP feature during pregnancy. SAP use was defined as utilization of either low-glucose suspend (LGS) or predictive LGS technology. Utilization of SAP was according to physician discretion. Differences in neonatal birth weight percentile and in other neonatal and pregnancy outcomes were compared between those who did and not use SAP. OUTCOMES Of 142 women, 136 had type 1 diabetes, 5 type 2 diabetes and one diabetes due to pancreatectomy. 83 women used SAP and 59 did not. For the neonates of the mothers of the respective groups, the median birth weight percentiles were similar (79 and 80, pV = 0.96), as were the other neonatal outcomes assessed. The rate of cesarean section was higher in the SAP group. However, after adjusting for maternal age, BMI, and a history of severe hypoglycemic events before pregnancy, the relation between mode of delivery and the use of SAP was no longer statistically significant. CONCLUSION In women with PGDM treated with an insulin pump and sensor, SAP use during pregnancy was not associated with higher neonatal birth weight percentile or the occurrences of other adverse neonatal or pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Diabetic striatopathy (DS) is a rare complication of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (DM), characterized by hyperglycemia associated with chorea/ballism and characteristic reversible basal ganglia abnormalities on computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We propose a narrative review of the literature on this topic, currently unknown to most, and about which physicians should be aware. We intend to summarize, critically review, and take to mean the evidence on this disorder, describing its typical features. METHODS We searched Pubmed for English-language sources using the following keywords in the title and the abstract: diabetic striatopathy, hyperglycemic non-ketotic hemichorea/hemiballism, chorea/hemichorea associated with non-ketotic hyperglycemia, diabetic hemiballism/hemichorea, chorea, hyperglycemia, and basal ganglia syndrome. We collected scientific articles, including case reports, reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses from the years 1975 to 2023. We eliminated duplicate, non-English language or non-related articles. RESULTS Older Asian women are more frequently affected. Suddenly or insidiously hemichorea/hemiballism, mainly in the limbs, and high blood glucose with elevated HbA1c in the absence of ketone bodies have been observed. Furthermore, CT striatal hyperdensity and T1-weighted MRI hyperintensity have been observed. DS is often a treatable disease following proper hydration and insulin administration. Histopathological findings are variable, and no comprehensive hypothesis explains the atypical cases reported. CONCLUSION DS is a rare neurological manifestation of DM. If adequately treated, although treatment guidelines are lacking, the prognosis is good and life-threatening complications may occur occasionally. During chorea/hemiballism, we recommend blood glucose and HbA1c evaluation. Further studies are needed to understand the pathogenesis.

Abstract
Hypoglycemia occurs frequently in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Hypoglycemia activates the counter-regulatory response. Besides peripheral glucose sensors located in the pancreas, mouth, gastrointestinal tract, portal vein, and carotid body, many brain regions also contain glucose-sensing neurons that detect this fall in glucose. The autonomic nervous system innervates the heart, and during hypoglycemia, can cause many changes. Clinical and animal studies have revealed changes in electrocardiograms during hypoglycemia. Cardiac repolarization defects (QTc prolongation) occur during moderate levels of hypoglycemia. When hypoglycemia is severe, it can be fatal. Cardiac arrhythmias are thought to be the major mediator of sudden death due to severe hypoglycemia. Both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems of the brain have been implicated in regulating these arrhythmias. Besides cardiac arrhythmias, hypoglycemia can have profound changes in the heart and most of these changes are exacerbated in the setting of diabetes. A better understanding of how the brain regulates cardiac changes during hypoglycemia will allow for better therapeutic intervention to prevent cardiovascular death associated with hypoglycemia in people with diabetes. The aim of this paper is to provide a narrative review of what is known in the field regarding how the brain regulates the heart during hypoglycemia.

Reactive hypoglycemia in binge eating disorder, food addiction, and the comorbid phenotype: unravelling the metabolic drive to disordered eating behaviours. J Eat Disord 2023; 11:162. [PMID: 37726785 PMCID: PMC10507855 DOI: 10.1186/s40337-023-00891-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Impaired metabolic response such as blood glucose fast fluctuations may be hypothesized in binge eating disorder (BED) and food addiction (FA) by virtue of the repetitive consumption of highly processed food. Conversely, rapid changes in plasma glucose (i.e., hypoglycemia) may trigger craving for the same food products. The investigation of early glycemic disturbances in BED and FA could enhance the understanding of the metabolic mechanisms involved in the maintenance of the disorders. Present study investigated hypoglycemia events during a 5-h-long oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in people with BED, FA, and the comorbid phenotype. Further, the association between the severity of eating psychopathology and the variability in hypoglycaemia events was explored. METHODS Two-hundred participants with high weight and no diabetes completed the extended OGTT and were screened for BED, FA, BED-FA, or no-BED/FA. The four groups were compared in hypoglycemia events, OGTT-derived measures, and eating psychopathology. The association between predictors (eating psychopathology), confounders (demographics, metabolic features), and the outcomes (hypoglycemia, early/late hypoglycemia, severe hypoglycemia, reactive hypoglycemia) was examined through logistic regression. RESULTS Hypoglycemia in general, and reactive hypoglycemia were highly frequent (79% and 28% of the sample, respectively). Hypoglycemia events (< 70 mg/dL) were equally experienced among groups, whilst severe hypoglycemia (< 54 mg/dL) was more frequent in BED at the late stage of OGTT (5 h; χ2 = 1.120, p = .011). The FA and BED groups exhibited significantly higher number of reactive hypoglycemia (χ2 = 13.898, p = .003), in different times by diagnosis (FA: 210'-240'; BED: at the 270'). FA severity was the only predictor of early and reactive hypoglycemia. CONCLUSIONS People with BED or FA are prone to experiencing reactive hypoglycemia; FA severity may predict early and symptomatic hypoglycemia events. This can further reinforce disordered eating behaviours by promoting addictive responses, both biologically and behaviourally. These results inform professionals dealing with eating disorders about the need to refer patients for metabolic evaluation. On the other hand, clinicians dealing with obesity should screen for and address BED and FA in patients seeking care for weight loss.

Abstract
AIMS To conduct a systematic review to summarize the definition, measurement tools, prevalence, and contributing factors of impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS A reproducible search strategy was used to identify factors affecting IAH in T2DM in PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, PsycINFO, and CINAHL from inception until 2022. Literature screening, quality evaluation, and information extraction were performed independently by 2 investigators. A meta-analysis of prevalence was performed using Stata 17.0. RESULTS The pooled prevalence of IAH in patients with T2DM was 22% (95%CI:14-29%). Measurement tools included the Gold score, Clarke's questionnaire, and the Pedersen-Bjergaard scale. IAH in T2DM was associated with sociodemographic factors (age, BMI, ethnicity, marital status, education level, and type of pharmacy patients visited), clinical disease factors (disease duration, HbAlc, complications, insulin therapy regimen, sulfonylureas use, and the frequency and severity of hypoglycemia), and behavior and lifestyle (smoking and medication adherence). CONCLUSION The study found a high prevalence of IAH in T2DM, with an increased risk of severe hypoglycemia, suggesting that medical workers should take targeted measures to address sociodemographic factors, clinical disease, and behavior and lifestyle to reduce IAH in T2DM and thus reduce hypoglycemia in patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes (GDM) complicates 10% of pregnancies in the US. First-line treatment is medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and exercise. Second line is pharmacotherapy. The definition of what constitutes an unsuccessful trial of MNT and exercise has not been established. Tight glycemic control has been demonstrated to reduce GDM-related neonatal and maternal clinical complications. However, it could also increase rates of small-for-gestational age and carry negative effects on patient-reported outcomes such as anxiety and stress. We will study the effect of earlier and stricter pharmacotherapy in GDM on clinical and patient-reported outcomes. METHODS GDM and pharmacotherapy (GAP) study is a two-arm parallel, pragmatic randomized controlled trial, where 416 participants with GDM are randomized 1:1 to: 1) Intervention group - insulin initiation at 20% elevated glucose values on a weekly glucose log following MNT and exercise trial and insulin titration to keep elevated glucose values <20%; or 2) Active control group - insulin initiation at 40% elevated glucose values on a weekly log following MNT and exercise and insulin titration to keep elevated glucose values <40%. The primary outcome is a composite neonatal outcome of large-for-gestational-age, macrosomia, birth trauma, preterm birth, hypoglycemia, and hyperbilirubinemia. Secondary outcomes include preeclampsia, cesarean birth, small-for-gestational-age, maternal hypoglycemia, and patient-reported outcomes of anxiety, depression, perceived stress, and diabetes self-efficacy. CONCLUSIONS The GAP study will investigate the optimal glycemic threshold for pharmacotherapy addition to MNT and exercise in GDM. The GAP study will promote standardization in GDM management and will have direct relevance for clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the biggest challenges for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using multiple daily injections (MDIs) is nocturnal hypoglycemia (NH). Recurrent NH can lead to serious complications; hence, prevention is of high importance. In this work, we develop and externally validate, device-agnostic Machine Learning (ML) models to provide bedtime decision support to people with T1D and minimize the risk of NH. METHODS We present the design and development of binary classifiers to predict NH (blood glucose levels occurring below 70 mg/dL). Using data collected from a 6-month study of 37 adult participants with T1D under free-living conditions, we extract daytime features from continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensors, administered insulin, meal, and physical activity information. We use these features to train and test the performance of two ML algorithms: Random Forests (RF) and Support Vector Machines (SVMs). We further evaluate our model in an external population of 20 adults with T1D using MDI insulin therapy and wearing CGM and flash glucose monitoring sensors for two periods of eight weeks each. RESULTS At population-level, SVM outperforms RF algorithm with a receiver operating characteristic-area under curve (ROC-AUC) of 79.36% (95% CI: 76.86%, 81.86%). The proposed SVM model generalizes well in an unseen population (ROC-AUC = 77.06%), as well as between the two different glucose sensors (ROC-AUC = 77.74%). CONCLUSIONS Our model shows state-of-the-art performance, generalizability, and robustness in sensor devices from different manufacturers. We believe it is a potential viable approach to inform people with T1D about their risk of NH before it occurs.

Abstract
Time spent in glycemic target range (time in range [TIR]; plasma glucose 70-180 mg/dL [3.9-10.0 mmol/L]) as a surrogate endpoint for long-term diabetes-related outcomes requires validation. This post hoc analysis investigated the association between TIR, derived from 8-point glucose profiles (derived TIR [dTIR]) at 12 months, and time to cardiovascular or severe hypoglycemic episodes in people with type 2 diabetes in the DEVOTE trial. At 12 months, dTIR was significantly negatively associated with time to first major adverse cardiovascular event (P = 0.0087), severe hypoglycemic episode (P < 0.0001), or microvascular event (P = 0.024). A nonsignificant trend was seen toward association between 12-month hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and these outcomes, but this was no longer seen after addition of dTIR to the model. The results support targeting TIR >70% and suggest dTIR could be used in addition to, or in some instances in place of, HbA1c as a clinical biomarker.

Abstract
Physical activity (PA) provides numerous health benefits for individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, the threat of exercise-induced hypoglycemia may impede the desire for regular PA. Therefore, we aimed to study the association between three common types of PA (walking, running, and cycling) and hypoglycemia risk in 50 individuals with T1D. Real-world data, including PA duration and intensity, continuous glucose monitor (CGM) values, and insulin doses, were available from the Tidepool Big Data Donation Project. Participants' mean (SD) age was 38.0 (13.1) years with a mean (SD) diabetes duration of 21.4 (12.9) years and an average of 26.2 weeks of CGM data available. We developed a linear regression model for each of the three PA types to predict the average glucose deviation from 70 mg/dl for the 2 h after the start of PA. This is essentially a measure of hypoglycemia risk, for which we used the following predictors: PA duration (mins) and intensity (calories burned), 2-hour pre-exercise area under the glucose curve (adjusted AUC), the glucose value at the beginning of PA, and total bolus insulin (units) within 2 h before PA. Our models indicated that glucose value at the start of exercise and pre-exercise glucose adjusted AUC (p < 0.001 for all three activities) were the most significant predictors of hypoglycemia. In addition, the duration and intensity of PA and 2-hour bolus insulin were weakly associated with hypoglycemia for walking, running, and cycling. These findings may provide individuals with T1D with a data-driven approach to preparing for PA that minimizes hypoglycemia risk.

Abstract
Perioperative dysglycemia is associated with adverse outcomes in both cardiac and non-cardiac surgical patients. Hyperglycemia in the perioperative period is associated with an increased risk of postoperative infections, length of stay, and mortality. Hypoglycemia can induce neuronal damage, leading to significant cognitive deficits, as well as death. This review endeavors to summarize existing literature on perioperative dysglycemia and provides updates on pharmacotherapy and management of perioperative hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia in surgical patients.

Abstract
Beta cell replacement therapies can restore glycemic control to select individuals living with type 1 diabetes. However, the obligation of lifelong immunosuppression restricts cell therapies from replacing exogenous insulin administration. Encapsulation strategies can reduce the inherent adaptive immune response; however, few are successfully translated into clinical testing. Herein, we evaluated if the conformal coating of islets with poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVPON) and tannic acid (TA) (PVPON/TA) could preserve murine and human islet function while conferring islet allograft protection. In vitro function was evaluated using static glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, oxygen consumption rates, and islet membrane integrity. In vivo function was evaluated by transplanting human islets into diabetic immunodeficient B6.129S7-Rag1tm1Mom/J (Rag-/-) mice. The immunoprotective capacity of the PVPON/TA-coating was assessed by transplanting BALB/c islets into diabetic C57BL/6 mice. Graft function was evaluated by non-fasting blood glucose measurements and glucose tolerance testing. Both coated and non-coated murine and human islets exhibited indistinguishable in vitro potency. PVPON/TA-coated and control human islets were able to restore euglycemia post-transplant. The PVPON/TA-coating as monotherapy and adjuvant to systemic immunosuppression reduced intragraft inflammation and delayed murine allograft rejection. This study demonstrates that PVPON/TA-coated islets may be clinically relevant as they retain their in vitro and in vivo function while modulating post-transplant immune responses.

Abstract
Hypopituitarism, a rare disorder, is defined as decreased production and secretion of one or more of the hormones that are normally secreted by the pituitary gland, resulting from the diseases of the pituitary gland itself or the hypothalamus. The clinical manifestations of this disorder are usually nonspecific and can lead to life-threatening complications and mortality. Here, we present a case of a 66-year-old female patient who was brought to the ER by her family with concerns of altered mentation. The altered mentation was found to be secondary to a severe hypoglycemic episode, which was later discovered to be due to underlying panhypopituitarism with secondary adrenal insufficiency. Endocrinology was consulted and recommended assessment of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. The tests revealed low levels of serum insulin and C-peptide along with decreased levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), prolactin, cortisol, free thyroxine (T4), and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). She was started on intravenous hydrocortisone and levothyroxine, which were later switched to oral hydrocortisone and levothyroxine after the stabilization of her blood glucose levels. She was later advised to follow up with endocrinology upon discharge. While evaluating a patient with hypoglycemia, it is important to keep hypopituitarism causing secondary adrenal insufficiency in mind as a differential diagnosis because it can be life-threatening if not recognized early and treated in a timely manner.

[PMID: 36902581 PMCID: PMC10003561 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12051794] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2023] Open
Abstract
It is still unclear whether early glycemic profile after admission for acute ischemic stroke (IS) has the same prognostic significance in patients with lacunar and non-lacunar infarction. Data from 4011 IS patients admitted to a Stroke Unit (SU) were retrospectively analyzed. Lacunar IS was diagnosed by clinical criteria. A continuous indicator of early glycemic profile was calculated as the difference of fasting serum glucose (FSG) measured within 48 h after admission and random serum glucose (RSG) measured on admission. Logistic regression was used to estimate the association with a combined poor outcome defined as early neurological deterioration, severe stroke at SU discharge, or 1-month mortality. Among patients without hypoglycemia (RSG and FSG > 3.9 mmol/L), an increasing glycemic profile increased the likelihood of a poor outcome for non-lacunar (OR, 1.38, 95%CI, 1.24-1.52 in those without diabetes; 1.11, 95%CI, 1.05-1.18 in those with diabetes) but not for lacunar IS. Among patients without sustained or delayed hyperglycemia (FSG < 7.8 mmol/L), an increasing glycemic profile was unrelated to outcome for non-lacunar IS but decreased the likelihood of poor outcome for lacunar IS (OR, 0.63, 95%CI, 0.41-0.98). Early glycemic profile after acute IS has a different prognostic significance in non-lacunar and lacunar patients.

Abstract
CONTEXT Hypoglycemia in people with diabetes is common, especially in those taking medications such as insulin and sulfonylureas (SU) that place them at higher risk. Hypoglycemia is associated with distress in those with diabetes and their families, medication nonadherence, and disruption of life and work, and it leads to costly emergency department visits and hospitalizations, morbidity, and mortality. OBJECTIVE To review and update the diabetes-specific parts of the 2009 Evaluation and Management of Adult Hypoglycemic Disorders: Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline and to address developing issues surrounding hypoglycemia in both adults and children living with diabetes. The overriding objectives are to reduce and prevent hypoglycemia. METHODS A multidisciplinary panel of clinician experts, together with a patient representative, and methodologists with expertise in evidence synthesis and guideline development, identified and prioritized 10 clinical questions related to hypoglycemia in people living with diabetes. Systematic reviews were conducted to address all the questions. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology was used to assess the certainty of evidence and make recommendations. RESULTS The panel agreed on 10 questions specific to hypoglycemia risk and prevention in people with diabetes for which 10 recommendations were made. The guideline includes conditional recommendations for use of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and algorithm-driven insulin pumps in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), use of CGM for outpatients with type 2 diabetes at high risk for hypoglycemia, use of long-acting and rapid-acting insulin analogs, and initiation of and continuation of CGM for select inpatient populations at high risk for hypoglycemia. Strong recommendations were made for structured diabetes education programs for those at high risk for hypoglycemia, use of glucagon preparations that do not require reconstitution vs those that do for managing severe outpatient hypoglycemia for adults and children, use of real-time CGM for individuals with T1D receiving multiple daily injections, and the use of inpatient glycemic management programs leveraging electronic health record data to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia. CONCLUSION The recommendations are based on the consideration of critical outcomes as well as implementation factors such as feasibility and values and preferences of people with diabetes. These recommendations can be used to inform clinical practice and health care system improvement for this important complication for people living with diabetes.

Abstract
"Relative hypoglycemia" is an often-overlooked complication of diabetes characterized by an increase in the glycemic threshold for detecting and responding to hypoglycemia. The clinical relevance of this problem is linked to growing evidence that among patients with critical illness, higher blood glucose in the intensive care unit is associated with higher mortality among patients without diabetes but lower mortality in patients with preexisting diabetes and an elevated prehospitalization HbA1c. Although additional studies are needed, the cardiovascular stress associated with hypoglycemia perception, which can occur at normal or even elevated glucose levels in patients with diabetes, offers a plausible explanation for this difference in outcomes. Little is known, however, regarding how hypoglycemia is normally detected by the brain, much less how relative hypoglycemia develops in patients with diabetes. In this article, we explore the role in hypoglycemia detection played by glucose-responsive sensory neurons supplying peripheral vascular beds and/or circumventricular organs. These observations support a model wherein relative hypoglycemia results from diabetes-associated impairment of this neuronal glucose-sensing process. By raising the glycemic threshold for hypoglycemia perception, this impairment may contribute to the increased mortality risk associated with standard glycemic management of critically ill patients with diabetes.

Evaluation of altered brain activity in type 2 diabetes using various indices of brain function: A resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study. Front Hum Neurosci 2023; 16:1032264. [PMID: 36699964 PMCID: PMC9870028 DOI: 10.3389/fnhum.2022.1032264] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been identified as a risk factor that increases the rate of cognitive decline. Previous studies showed that patients with T2DM had brain function alterations based on a single index of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). The present study aimed to explore spontaneous brain activity in patients with T2DM by comparing various rs-fMRI indices, and to determine the relationship between these changes and cognitive dysfunction. Methods A total of 52 patients with T2DM and age- and sex-matched control participants were included in this study. The amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF), regional homogeneity (ReHo), and voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) values were calculated to represent the status of spontaneous neural activity. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was used for the rapid evaluation of cognition in all subjects. Pearson correlation and mediation analyses were conducted to investigate the relationship between rs-fMRI indices and clinical parameters such as fasting glucose, disease duration, and MoCA. Results Patients with T2DM had alterations of concordant spontaneous brain activity in brain areas including the bilateral cerebellum posterior lobe, the left inferior temporal gyrus (ITG.L), the parahippocampal gyrus, and the left supplementary motor area (SMA.L). The indices were significantly correlated to each other in most of the detected brain areas. Positive correlations were observed between fasting glucose and neural activity in the surrounding areas of the left insula and the inferior frontal gyrus. MoCA scores were negatively correlated with the ReHo values extracted from the left anterior occipital lobe and the superior cerebellar cortex and were positively correlated with VMHC values extracted from the left caudate and the precentral gyrus (PreCG). No significant mediation effect of abnormal brain activity was found in the relationship between clinical parameters and MoCA scores. Conclusion The current study demonstrated the functional concordance of abnormal brain activities in patients with T2DM by comparing ALFF, ReHo, and VMHC measurements. Widespread abnormalities mainly involved in motor and sensory processing functions may provide insight into examining T2DM-related neurological pathophysiology.

Abstract
Aim Hypoglycemia at admission is associated with high mortality in sepsis patients. However, the influence of body mass index (BMI) on this association remains unknown. Therefore, this study assesses the association of hypoglycemia at admission with mortality in patients with sepsis according to BMI. Methods This was a secondary analysis of a multicenter, prospective cohort study of 59 intensive care units in Japan. We included 1184 patients (age ≥16 years) with severe sepsis and excluded those with missing data on glucose level, BMI, or survival at discharge. The initial blood glucose level of <70 mg/dL was defined as hypoglycemia. Patients were assigned to the hypoglycemia or non-hypoglycemia group as per BMI category (<18.5 [low], 18.5-24.9 [normal], and ≥25 [high] kg/m2). The main outcome was in-hospital mortality. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate BMI category-by-hypoglycemia interactions. Results Overall, 1103 patients, including 65 with hypoglycemia, were analyzed. In the normal BMI group, patients with hypoglycemia had a higher in-hospital mortality rate (18/38, 47.4%) than those without (119/584, 20.4%). There was a significant interaction between normal BMI and hypoglycemia affecting in-hospital mortality; however, this effect was not observed for other BMI categories (odds ratio, 2.32; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-5.07; p-value for interaction = 0.0476). Conclusion The relationship between patients with sepsis and hypoglycemia on admission may differ according to BMI. Hypoglycemia on admission may be associated with high mortality in patients with normal BMI, but not in those with low or high BMI.

Abstract
AIMS Compare the self-reported prevalence of severe hypoglycemia (level-3-H) in people with type 1 diabetes (PWT1D) according to two wording of definition: by the International Hypoglycemia Study Group (IHSG) and an alternate simplified version developed by patient-partners (PP). METHODS Cross-sectional study (PWT1D > = 14 years) self-reporting risk factors, patient-year incidence and annual prevalence of level-3-H were defined according to either IHSG's wording (low sugar levels requiring help from another person, or use of glucagon, or hospitalization, or loss of consciousness) or with an alternative simpler wording developed by PP (low sugar levels that you would have been unable to treat). RESULTS Among 1430 eligible participants, in the last 12 months, the annual prevalence of level-3-H (IHSG: 242/100 vs. PP: 231/100 patient-years, p = 0.229) and median number of episodes (IHSG: 2.0 [1-3] vs. PP: 1.0 [1-3], p = 0.359) were similar. The prevalence of participants reporting hypoglycemia in the past year was higher with IHSG wording (13.5% vs. 10.5%; p < 0.001); this difference was significantly (p < 0.001) larger among patients with impaired awareness of hypoglycemia. Association of both definitions with level-3-H risk factors was comparable. CONCLUSIONS The level-3-H episodes by PP and IHSG wording were comparable. The simplicity of PP wording may allow better mutual understanding between patients and healthcare team. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT03720197 (registered on October 19th 2018).

Abstract
People with diabetes have an increased risk of adverse events during the peri-colonoscopy period, including hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis, diabetic ketoacidosis and acute kidney injury. This is secondary to inadequate dietary modification, the bowel preparation and antihyperglycemic agent modification. With the availability of many new diabetes agents, endoscopists need updated guidance. This review of current literature provides a practical approach to antihyperglycemic agent modification in the context of colonoscopy preparation, as well as guidelines on dietary changes, the bowel preparation itself and glucose monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin pump therapy is a real breakthrough in managing diabetes Mellitus, particularly in children. It can deliver a tiny amount of insulin and decreases the need for frequent needle injections. It also helps to maintain adequate and optimal glycemic control to reduce the risk of metabolic derangements in different tissues. Children are suitable candidates for pump therapy as they need a more freestyle and proper metabolic control to ensure adequate growth and development. Therefore, children and their caregivers should have proper education and training and understand the proper use of insulin pumps to achieve successful pump therapy. The pump therapy continuously improves to enhance its performance and increase its simulation of the human pancreas. Nonetheless, there is yet a long way to reach the desired goal.
AIM To review discusses the history of pump development, its indications, types, proper use, special conditions that may enface the children and their families while using the pump, its general care, and its advantages and disadvantages.
METHODS We conducted comprehensive literature searches of electronic databases until June 30, 2022, related to pump therapy in children and published in the English language.
RESULTS We included 118 articles concerned with insulin pumps, 61 were reviews, systemic reviews, and meta-analyses, 47 were primary research studies with strong design, and ten were guidelines.
CONCLUSION The insulin pump provides fewer needles and can provide very tiny insulin doses, a convenient and more flexible way to modify the needed insulin physiologically, like the human pancreas, and can offer adequate and optimal glycemic control to reduce the risk of metabolic derangements in different tissues.

Abstract
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus continues to increase in many Asian countries, with possible contributing factors, such as younger-onset disease, diabetes development at lower body mass index, higher visceral fat accumulation and poorer β-cell function, among Asian populations. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors have been shown to confer favorable effects in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, such as improved glycemic control, weight and blood pressure reduction, and importantly, cardiorenal benefits. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors are generally well-tolerated, and have a well-defined safety profile based on evidence from numerous clinical trials and post-marketing pharmacovigilance reporting. To our knowledge, this review is the first to provide a comprehensive coverage of the adverse events of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, as well as their management and counseling aspects for Asian type 2 diabetes mellitus populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine long-term outcomes for islet-alone and islet-after-kidney transplantation in adults with type 1 diabetes complicated by impaired awareness of hypoglycemia. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a prospective interventional and observational cohort study of islet-alone (n = 48) and islet-after-kidney (n = 24) transplant recipients followed for up to 8 years after intraportal infusion of one or more purified human pancreatic islet products under standardized immunosuppression. Outcomes included duration of islet graft survival (stimulated C-peptide ≥0.3 ng/mL), on-target glycemic control (HbA1c <7.0%), freedom from severe hypoglycemia, and insulin independence. RESULTS Of the 48 islet-alone and 24 islet-after-kidney transplantation recipients, 26 and 8 completed long-term follow-up with islet graft function, 15 and 7 withdrew from follow-up with islet graft function, and 7 and 9 experienced islet graft failure, respectively. Actuarial islet graft survival at median and final follow-up was 84% and 56% for islet-alone and 69% and 49% for islet-after-kidney (P = 0.007) with 77% and 49% of islet-alone and 57% and 35% of islet-after-kidney transplantation recipients maintaining posttransplant HbA1c <7.0% (P = 0.0017); freedom from severe hypoglycemia was maintained at >90% in both cohorts. Insulin independence was achieved by 74% of islet-alone and islet-after-kidney transplantation recipients, with more than one-half maintaining insulin independence during long-term follow-up. Kidney function remained stable during long-term follow-up in both cohorts, and rates of sensitization against HLA were low. Severe adverse events occurred at 0.31 per patient-year for islet-alone and 0.43 per patient-year for islet-after-kidney transplantation. CONCLUSIONS Islet transplantation results in durable islet graft survival permitting achievement of glycemic targets in the absence of severe hypoglycemia for most appropriately indicated recipients having impaired awareness of hypoglycemia, with acceptable safety of added immunosuppression for both islet-alone and islet-after-kidney transplantation.

Abstract
Repeated hypoglycemia exposure leads to impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH) and the development of defective counterregulatory responses. To date, only pancreas or islet transplantation has demonstrated normalization of hypoglycemia awareness and the endogenous glucose production (EGP) response to defend against insulin-induced hypoglycemia in long-standing type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study aims to validate clinical metrics of IAH (Clarke score), hypoglycemia severity (HYPO score), glycemic lability (lability index), and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) as predictors of absent autonomic symptom (AS) recognition and defective glucose counterregulation during insulin-induced hypoglycemia, thus enabling early identification of individuals with compromised physiologic defense against clinically significant hypoglycemia. Forty-three subjects with mean ± standard deviation age 43 ± 13 years and T1D duration 28 ± 13 years, including 32 with IAH and 11 with hypoglycemia awareness (Aware), and 12 nondiabetic control subjects, underwent single-blinded randomized-paired hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic and hypoglycemic clamp experiments. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and sensitivity analyses were performed to assess metric prediction of absent AS recognition and defective EGP responses to hypoglycemia. Clarke score and CGM measures of hypoglycemia exposure demonstrated good ability to predict absent AS recognition (area under the curve ≥0.80). A composite threshold of IAH-Clarke ≥4 with ROC curve-derived thresholds for CGM measures of hypoglycemia exposure showed high specificity and predictive value in identifying an absent AS response during the hypoglycemic clamp. Metrics demonstrated poor ability to predict defective glucose counterregulation by the EGP response, which was impaired even in the Aware group. Screening for IAH alongside assessment of CGM data can increase the specificity for identifying individuals with absent hypoglycemia symptom recognition who may benefit from further intervention.

Abstract
AIM To compare the efficacy and safety of once-weekly (OW) semaglutide versus thrice-daily (TID) insulin aspart (IAsp) in participants with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes (T2D) treated with insulin glargine (IGlar) and metformin. MATERIALS AND METHODS SUSTAIN 11 (NCT03689374) was a randomized (1:1), parallel, open-label, multinational, phase 3b trial. After a 12-week run-in to optimize once-daily IGlar U100, 1748 adults with T2D (HbA1c >7.5% to ≤10.0%) were randomized to OW semaglutide or TID IAsp as add-on to optimized IGlar and metformin for 52 weeks. The primary outcome was change in HbA1c from randomization to week 52. Confirmatory secondary endpoints included the occurrence of severe hypoglycaemic episodes and change in body weight (BW). Safety was assessed. RESULTS HbA1c (randomization: 8.6% [70.0 mmol/mol]) decreased by 1.5% points (16.6 mmol/mol) and 1.2% points (13.4 mmol/mol) with semaglutide (n = 874) and IAsp (n = 874), respectively (estimated treatment difference [ETD] -0.29% points [95% confidence interval {CI} -0.38; -0.20]; P < .0001 for non-inferiority). Few severe hypoglycaemic episodes were recorded in either group, with no statistically significant difference between the groups. Change in BW from randomization (87.9 kg) to week 52 was in favour of semaglutide (-4.1 kg) versus IAsp (+2.8 kg) (ETD -6.99 kg [95% CI -7.41; -6.57]). A higher proportion of participants experienced adverse events with semaglutide (58.5%) versus IAsp (52.1%); most were mild to moderate. CONCLUSIONS In this basal insulin-treated population, OW semaglutide improved glycaemic control to a greater extent than TID IAsp and provided numerically greater weight loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH) are at elevated risk of severe, potentially hazardous, hypoglycemia and would benefit from a device alerting to hypoglycemia. Heart rate variability (HRV) changes with hypoglycemia due to sympathetic activity. Since IAH is associated with suppressed sympathetic activity, we investigated whether hypoglycemia elicits a measurable change in HRV in patients with T1D and IAH. METHOD Eligible participants underwent a modified hyperinsulinemic euglycemic hypoglycemic clamp (glucose nadir, 43.1 ± 0.90 mg/dl), while HRV was measured by a VitalConnect HealthPatch. Measurements of HRV included Root Mean Square of the Successive Differences (RMSSD) and low to high frequency (LF:HF) ratio. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for testing within-subject HRV changes. RESULTS We included 12 participants (8 female, mean age 57 ± 12 years, mean HbA1c 57 ± 5 mmol/mol (7.4 ± 0.4%)). Symptoms increased from 4.0 (1.5-7.0) at euglycemia to 7.5 (5.0-11.0) during hypoglycemia (P = .003). In response to hypoglycemia, the LF:HF ratio and RMSSD increased when normalized for data obtained during euglycemia (both P < .01). The LF:HF ratio increased in 6 participants (50%) and declined in one other participant (8%). The RMSSD decreased in 3 (25%) and increased in 4 (33%) participants. In 2 patients, no change in HRV could be detected in response to hypoglycemia. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals that hypoglycemia-induced changes in HRV are retained in the majority of people with T1D and IAH, and that these changes can be detected by a wearable device. Real-time HRV seems usable for detection of hypoglycemia in patients with IAH.

Abstract
On-demand drug delivery systems are promising for a wide range of therapeutic applications. When combined with wireless implants for controlled drug delivery, they can reduce overall dosage and side effects. Here, we demonstrate release of fluorescein from a novel on-demand release system for negatively charged compounds. The release system is based on a modified electroresponsive polypyrrole nanoparticulate film designed to minimize ion exchange with the stored compound - a major passive leakage mechanism. We further designed an ultrasonically powered mm-sized implant to electronically control the on-demand drug delivery system in vivo. Release kinetics are characterized both in vitro and in vivo in mice using fluorescein as a model drug, demonstrating the feasibility of wireless, controllable drug release using an ultrasonically powered implant.

Abstract
In this study, an adaptive backstepping method is proposed to regulate the blood glucose induced by meals for type-1 diabetic patients. The backstepping controller is used to control the blood glucose level and an adaptive algorithm is utilized to compensate for the blood glucose induced by meals. Moreover, the effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated by comparing results in two different case studies: in the presence of actuator faults and the loss of control input for a short while during treatment. Effects of unannounced meals three times a day are investigated for a nominal patient in every case. It is argued that adaptive backstepping is the preferred control method in either case. The Lyapunov theory is used to prove the stability of the proposed method. Obtained results, indicated that the adaptive backstepping controller is stable, and the desired level of glucose concentration is being tracked efficiently.

Abstract
Rationale Blood glucose concentrations affect outcomes in critically ill patients but the optimal target blood glucose range in those with type 2 diabetes is unknown. Objective To evaluate the effects of a 'liberal' approach to targeted blood glucose range during intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Methods This mutlicenter, parallel-group, open-label, randomized clinical trial included 419 adult patients with type 2 diabetes expected to be in the ICU on at least three consecutive days. In the intervention group intravenous insulin was commenced at a blood glucose >252 mg/dL and titrated to a target range of 180 to 252 mg/dL. In the comparator group insulin was commenced at a blood glucose >180 mg/dL and titrated to a target range of 108 to 180 mg/dL. The primary outcome was incident hypoglycemia (<72 mg/dL). Secondary outcomes included glucose metrics and clinical outcomes. Main Results At least one episode of hypoglycemia occurred in 10 of 210 (5%) patients assigned the intervention and 38 of 209 (18%) patients assigned the comparator (incident rate ratio: 0.21 (95% CI, 0.09 to 0.49); P<0.001). Those assigned the intervention had greater blood glucose concentrations (daily mean, minimum, maximum), less glucose variability and less relative hypoglycaemia (P<0.001 for all comparisons). By day 90, 62 of 210 (29.5%) in the intervention and 52 of 209 (24.9%) in the comparator group had died (absolute difference 4.6 percentage points (95%CI, -3.9 to 13.2%); P=0.29). Conclusions A liberal approach to blood glucose targets reduced incident hypoglycemia but did not improve patient-centered outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: Changes in the blood cell function, metabolism, and the coagulation system
were associated with diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to determine the
magnitude and associated factors of hematological abnormalities in adults
with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Methods: A total of 204 medical charts of adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus who
registered for follow-up at the University of Gondar Comprehensive
Specialized Hospital were reviewed from June to August 2021. Data were
collected using a structured data extraction checklist. To identify factors
associated with hematological abnormalities, both bivariate and multivariate
logistic regression analyses were done. Statistical significance was defined
as a p-value of <0.05. Results: The overall magnitude of leukocytosis and anemia in adults with type 1
diabetes mellitus was 76.0% (95% confidence interval: 70.07–81.89) and
30.90% (95% confidence interval: 24.49–37.28), respectively. Neutrophilia
and lymphocytosis were the common white blood cell abnormalities detected in
53.43% (95% confidence interval: 46.53–60.33) and 43.63% (95% confidence
interval: 36.76–50.49) of the patients, respectively. Besides,
thrombocytosis and thrombocytopenia were observed in 5.4% (95% confidence
interval: 2.27–8.52) and 10.3% (95% confidence interval: 6.09–14.5) of the
patients, respectively. Only being male (adjusted odds ratio = 2.28 (95%
confidence interval: 1.46–5.29)) and duration of diabetes mellitus
(⩾3 years) (adjusted odds ratio = 8.41 (95% confidence interval:
2.49–28.29)) were significantly associated with anemia and leukocytosis,
respectively. Conclusion: Hematological abnormalities, particularly anemia and leukocytosis, are common
in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Therefore, preventive and control
strategies for hematological abnormalities are essential in patients with
type 1 diabetes mellitus particularly for male and patients with a long
duration on diabetes mellitus to reduce the burden and related
complications.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the efficacy and safety of fast-acting insulin aspart (faster aspart) compared with insulin aspart (IAsp) in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) across different subgroups. METHODS We report on a post hoc analysis of onset 9, a 16-week trial of participants with T2D randomised to faster aspart (n = 546) or IAsp (n = 545). Participants were grouped by baseline HbA1c (< 7.0%, ≥ 7.0%), meal test bolus insulin dose (≤ 10 units [U], > 10 U to ≤ 20 U, > 20 U), body mass index (< 30 kg/m2, ≥ 30 to < 35 kg/m2, ≥ 35 kg/m2), and age (< 65 years, ≥ 65 years). Outcomes assessed were change from baseline in HbA1c and in 1-h postprandial glucose (PPG) increment, and severe or blood glucose (BG)-confirmed hypoglycaemia. RESULTS Faster aspart provided reductions in HbA1c comparable to IAsp across all subgroups, with improved 1-h PPG control compared with IAsp in several subgroups. Faster aspart had comparable or improved rates of severe or BG-confirmed hypoglycaemia versus IAsp, particularly in participants with good glycaemic control (HbA1c < 7.0%), the elderly (≥ 65 years old), and those with insulin resistance (> 20 U meal test bolus insulin dose). CONCLUSIONS Faster aspart provides effective overall glycaemic control, with improved early PPG control compared with IAsp across a range of patient characteristics.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the safety and efficacy of imeglimin for 52 weeks as monotherapy or combination therapy with existing antidiabetic agents in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS TIMES 2 was a phase 3, pivotal, open-label trial including patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled despite diet/exercise or despite treatment with a single agent from one of several available classes of antidiabetic drugs along with diet/exercise. All patients received imeglimin 1000 mg twice-daily orally for 52 weeks as monotherapy or combination therapy. The primary endpoint was safety (adverse events, laboratory results, ECG). The secondary endpoints were changes from baseline in HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose at week 52. RESULTS A total of 714 patients received the following treatments: imeglimin monotherapy (n = 134), combination with an α-glucosidase inhibitor (n = 64), biguanide (n = 64), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4-I; n = 63), glinide (n = 64), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP1-RA; n = 70), sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (n = 63), sulphonylurea (n = 127), or thiazolidinedione (n = 65). The percentage of patients experiencing at least one treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) was 75.5%. Most of these events were mild or moderate in intensity. Serious TEAEs, none of them related to the study drug, occurred in 5.6% of all patients. No clinically significant changes in ECG, vital signs, physical examination, or laboratory tests were noted in any groups. At week 52, HbA1c decreased by 0.46% with imeglimin monotherapy, by 0.56%-0.92% with imeglimin as oral combination therapy, and by 0.12% with injectable GLP1-RA combination therapy. The greatest net HbA1c reduction (0.92%) occurred in patients receiving a DPP4-I in combination with imeglimin. CONCLUSIONS Imeglimin provides well-tolerated, long-term safety and efficacy in both monotherapy and oral combination therapy in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:800185. [PMID: 35369285 PMCID: PMC8967291 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.800185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2021] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a complex multifaceted disease responsible for elevated heart failure (HF) morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Patients with DCM exhibit subclinical diastolic dysfunction, progression toward systolic impairment, and abnormal electrophysiology. Hypoglycemia events that occur spontaneously or due to excess insulin administration threaten the lives of patients with DM—with the increased risk of sudden death. However, the molecular underpinnings of this fatal disease remain to be elucidated. Methods and Results Here, we used the established streptozotocin-induced DCM murine model to investigate how hypoglycemia aggravates DCM progression. We confirmed connexin 43 (Cx43) dissociation from cell–cell interaction and accumulation at mitochondrial inner membrane both in the cardiomyocytes of patients with DM and DCM murine. Here, we observed that cardiac diastolic function, induced by chronic hyperglycemia, was further aggravated upon hypoglycemia challenge. Similar contractile defects were recapitulated using neonatal mouse ventricular myocytes (NMVMs) under glucose fluctuation challenges. Using immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry, we identified and validated that hypoglycemia challenge activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPK kinase) (MEK)/extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK) and inhibits phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathways, which results in Cx43 phosphorylation by Src protein and translocation to mitochondria in cardiomyocytes. To determine causality, we overexpressed a mitochondrial targeting Cx43 (mtCx43) using adeno-associated virus serotype 2 (AAV2)/9. At normal blood glucose levels, mtCx43 overexpression recapitulated cardiac diastolic dysfunction as well as aberrant electrophysiology in vivo. Our findings give support for therapeutic targeting of MEK/ERK/Src and PI3K/Akt/Src pathways to prevent mtCx43-driven DCM. Conclusion DCM presents compensatory adaptation of mild mtCx43 accumulation, yet acute hypoglycemia challenges result in further accumulation of mtCx43 through the MEK/ERK/Src and PI3K/Akt/Src pathways. We provide evidence that Cx43 mislocalization is present in hearts of patients with DM hearts, STZ-induced DCM murine model, and glucose fluctuation challenged NMVMs. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that mtCx43 is responsible for inducing aberrant contraction and disrupts electrophysiology in cardiomyocytes and our results support targeting of mtCx43 in treating DCM.

Abstract
Aim: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is widely used in clinical practice and research to detect hypoglycemia. A consensus definition of CGM-recorded hypoglycemia is made by a group of international experts under the auspice of the Advanced Technologies and Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD). The purpose of this study is to compare the definition with patient-reported hypoglycemia. Methods: In a prospective, observational study of 186 patients with type 1 diabetes using blinded Medtronic iPro 2 CGM for 6 days, every patient-reported symptomatic hypoglycemic event and interstitial glucose (IG) values at the registration time were classified according to the ATTD definition of CGM-recorded hypoglycemia. For comparison between CGM and self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) values, the International Hypoglycemia Study Group (IHSG) classification of hypoglycemia and chi-square test were used. Results: A total of 321 events of symptomatic hypoglycemia were reported by 68% of the patients, corresponding to 2.0 ± 2.3 events (mean ± standard deviation) per patient-week. A total of 206 (64%) events met the CGM consensus definition. In the remaining 115 (36%) not-confirmed events, 5 events had an IG <3.9 mmol/L, which lasted <15 min. The overall mean IG value was 3.6 ± 1.1 mmol/L (median 3.1, range 2.2-10.4). In symptomatic hypoglycemic events with both CGM and SMBG data, SMBG confirmed significantly more symptomatic hypoglycemic events than CGM (P < 0.001). Conclusion: CGM-recorded hypoglycemia according to the consensus definition is present at two thirds of all patient-reported events when recorded by the Medtronic iPro 2 system. The recommended minimum duration of a hypoglycemic event of 15 min is supported by the study. SMBG measurements detect significantly more symptomatic hypoglycemic events than Medtronic iPro 2 CGM.

Abstract
AIMS Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has the potential to promote diabetes self-management at home with a better glycemic control as outcome. Investigation of the effect of CGM has typically been carried out based on randomized controlled trials with prespecified CGM devices on CGM-naïve participants. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect on glycemic control in people using their personal CGM before and during the trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from the Onset 5 trial of 472 people with type 1 diabetes using either their personal CGM (n = 117) or no CGM (n = 355) and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in a 16-week treatment period were extracted. Change from baseline in glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), number of hypoglycemic episodes, and CGM metrics at the end of treatment were analyzed with analysis of variance repeated-measures models. RESULTS Use of personal CGM compared with no CGM was associated with a reduction in risk of documented symptomatic hypoglycemia (event rate ratio: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.69-0.97) and asymptomatic hypoglycemia (event rate ratio: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.53-0.97), reduced time spent in hypoglycemia (P = .0070), and less glycemic variability (P = .0043) without a statistically significant increase in HbA1c (P = .2028). CONCLUSIONS Results indicate that use of personal CGM compared with no CGM in a population of type 1 diabetes is associated with a safer glycemic control without a statistically significantly deteriorated effect on HbA1c, which adds to the evidence about the real-world use of CGM, where device type is not prespecified, and users are not CGM naïve.

Abstract
The nutritional needs of diabetic pregnancies are different from normal pregnancies. Differences in nutritional recommendations can also be seen between pregnant women who are using and who are not using insulin therapy. In this literature review, recommendations for different meal proportions of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in the diets of pregnant women with diabetes mellitus are listed. Different meal plans were also addressed in this group of patients. The role of exercise in the management of diabetes in pregnancy is undeniable and different approaches found in the literature are presented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pre-gestational diabetes can pose significant risk to the mother and infant, thus requiring careful counselling and management. Since Saint Vincent's declaration in 1989, adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, such as preeclampsia, perinatal mortality, congenital anomalies, and macrosomia, continue to be associated with type 1 diabetes. Although pregnancy is not considered an independent risk factor for the development of new onset microvascular complications, it is known to exacerbate pre-existing microvascular disease. Strict glycaemic control is the optimal management for pre-existing type 1 diabetes in pregnancy, as raised HbA1C is associated with increased risk of maternal and fetal complications. More recently, time in range on Continuous Glucose Monitoring glucose profiles has emerged as another useful evidence-based marker of fetal outcomes. OBJECTIVES This review summarises the complications associated with pre-gestational type 1 diabetes, appropriate evidence-based management, including preparing for pregnancy, intrapartum and postpartum care. METHODS A structured search of the PubMed and Cochrane databases was conducted. Peer-reviewed articles about complications and management guidelines on pre-gestational type 1 diabetes were selected and critically appraised. RESULTS One hundred and twenty-three manuscripts were referenced and appraised in this review, and international guidelines were summarised. CONCLUSION This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recurring themes in the literature pertaining to type 1 diabetes in pregnancy: maternal and fetal complications, microvascular disease progression, and an overview of current guideline-specific management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Self-management of blood glucose levels to avoid hypoglycemia is vital for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The association between specific metrics of glycemic variability (glycosylated hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] and fasting plasma glucose [FPG]) and severe hypoglycemia has not been fully studied in patients with T2DM. METHODS In this post hoc analysis, patients with established T2DM with a high risk of cardiovascular disease were included in the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) study. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to investigate the relationship between glycemic variability and hypoglycemia requiring medical assistance (HMA) and hypoglycemia requiring any third-party assistance (HAA). The prognostic value of HbA1c/FPG variability for our predefined outcomes was compared using Harrell's C method. RESULTS After adjusting for confounders, each increase in HbA1c variability of 1 standard deviation (SD) indicated a higher risk of HAA (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.10; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-1.16; P < 0.01) and HMA events (HR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.03-1.20; P < 0.01). Meanwhile, each increase in FPG variability of 1 SD increased the risk of HAA (HR: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.31-1.49; P < 0.01) and HMA events (HR: 1.46; 95% CI: 1.35-1.57; P < 0.01). Meanwhile, models, including FPG variability, had better prognostic value for our predefined outcomes than HbA1c variability (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Increased visit-to-visit variability in HbA1c and fasting glycemia is associated with a greater risk of severe hypoglycemic events in T2DM patients. FPG variability is a more sensitive indicator than HbA1c variability. TRIAL REGISTRATION http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00000620.

Abstract
Background and objectives: Renal failure is a contraindication for some glucose-lowering drugs and requires dosage adjustment for others, particularly biguanides, sulfonylureas, and inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase 4. In this study, we assessed adherence to prescription recommendations for glucose-lowering drugs according to renal function in hospitalized diabetic subjects. Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study was carried out over a 2-year period in a university hospital. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was determined by averaging all measurements performed during hospitalization. Glucose-lowering drug dosages were analyzed according to the recommendations of the relevant medical societies. Results: In total, 2071 diabetic patients (53% hospitalized in cardiology units) were examined. GFR was <30 mL/min/1.73 m2 in 13.4% of these patients, 30–44 in 15.1%, 45–60 in 18.3%, and >60 in 53.3%. Inappropriate oral glucose-lowering treatments were administered to 273 (13.2%) patients, including 53 (2.6%) with a contraindication. In cardiology units, 53.1% and 14.3% of patients had GFRs of <60 and <30 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively, and 179 (15.4%) patients had a contraindication or were prescribed an excessive dose of glucose-lowering drugs. Conclusions: We showed that the burden of inappropriate prescriptions is high in diabetic patients. Given the high number of patients receiving these medications, particularly in cardiology units, a search for potential adverse effects related to these drugs should be performed.

Abstract
AIM To assess the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec/liraglutide (IDegLira) versus insulin degludec (degludec) in Chinese people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) treated with basal insulin. MATERIALS AND METHODS In DUAL II China, a randomized, double-blinded, multicentre, treat-to-target trial, Chinese adults with T2D and HbA1c of 7.5% or more on basal insulin and metformin, with or without other oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs), were randomized 2:1 to 26 weeks of treatment with either IDegLira (max. dose 50 U degludec/1.8 mg liraglutide) or degludec (max. 50 U/day), respectively, combined with metformin. At 26 weeks, superiority of IDegLira over degludec was assessed for change in HbA1c (primary endpoint), and body weight and number of severe or blood glucose (BG)-confirmed hypoglycaemic episodes (confirmatory secondary endpoints). RESULTS Overall, 453 participants were randomized to IDegLira (n = 302) or degludec (n = 151). Superiority was confirmed for IDegLira over degludec in HbA1c change (-1.9% vs. -1.0%, respectively, estimated treatment difference [ETD] [95% confidence interval]: -0.92% [-1.09; -0.75], P < .0001), body weight change (-0.7 vs. +0.4 kg, respectively, ETD [95% CI]: -1.08 kg [-1.63; -0.52], P = .0002) and severe or BG-confirmed hypoglycaemia (estimated rate ratio [95% CI]: 0.53 [0.30; 0.94], P = .0297). The odds of achieving HbA1c less than 7.0% without hypoglycaemia and/or weight gain were greater with IDegLira than degludec (P < .0001 for all). Daily insulin dose at 26 weeks was lower for IDegLira (34.3 U) than degludec (37.4 U) (P = .0014). No unexpected safety signals were observed. CONCLUSIONS IDegLira may be an efficacious and well-tolerated treatment intensification option for Chinese people with T2D uncontrolled on basal insulin and OADs.

Abstract
PURPOSE IDegAsp, a co-formulation of long-acting basal (insulin degludec) and rapid-acting bolus (insulin aspart) insulin, provides separate prandial and basal glucose-lowering effects with relatively low risk of hypoglycaemia. Its efficacy and safety have been investigated in a large clinical trial programme (BOOST). We present the rationale and design of the ARISE study, which aims to assess glycaemic control and other clinical parameters associated with IDegAsp use in real world. METHODS ARISE is a ~26-wk-long, prospective, non-interventional, single-arm study of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) initiating IDegAsp treatment. Approximately 1112 patients with T2D aged ≥18 years previously on anti-hyperglycaemic drugs except IDegAsp will be enroled across six countries from 15 Aug 2019 to 12 Nov 2020. IDegAsp treatment will be initiated at the physicians' discretion and as per the local label. Key exclusion criteria include previous participation, or previous IDegAsp treatment. The primary and secondary endpoints are change in HbA1c from baseline (wk 0) to study end (wk 26-36) and the proportion of patients achieving the target HbA1c level of <7% at the study end, respectively. A mixed model for repeated measurements will analyse the primary endpoint. CONCLUSION Between-country differences in the prescription patterns of glucose-lowering agents in people with T2D warrant examination of their clinical use in different geographical settings. The ARISE study is designed to assess the clinical use of IDegAsp from real world in six different countries. Findings from the ARISE study will supplement those of previous randomised controlled studies by establishing real-world evidence of IDegAsp use in the participating countries.

Abstract
Pregabalin is a first-line treatment option for neuropathic pain. Recently, some cases of pregabalin-induced hypoglycemia have been reported, which can complicate the treatment of neuropathic pain and worsen patient outcomes. Therefore, a better understanding of the clinical condition of patients with pregabalin-induced hypoglycemia is desirable. In this study, we evaluated the risk of hypoglycemia in patients administered pregabalin, using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database. All patients on pregabalin not taking any antidiabetic agents were screened from April 2004 to July 2020, and data on adverse events related to hypoglycemia, sex, age, weight, and the presence of chronic kidney disease were collected. Gabapentin and duloxetine, which are usually indicated for neuropathic pain, were used for comparison. Among 242,275 patients, 4,287 were administered pregabalin, which included 37 patients who reported hypoglycemic incidents. Disproportionality of hypoglycemia was observed in patients administered pregabalin (reporting odds ratio, 2.25; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.16-3.13; P < 0.01), whereas this was not the case in patients taking gabapentin and duloxetine. Multivariate logistic regression showed that hypoglycemia in patients on pregabalin was associated with age ≥ 70 years (odds ratio, 2.76; 95% CI, 1.29-5.91; P < 0.01) and weight < 40 kg (odds ratio, 2.97; 95% CI, 1.32-6.71; P < 0.01). These findings suggest that pregabalin may be associated with a higher risk of hypoglycemia, especially in elderly individuals with low body weight. Healthcare providers may need to be aware of pregabalin-induced hypoglycemia in patients with these risk factors during therapy. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Efficacy and Safety of Switching to Teneligliptin in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Inadequately Controlled with Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors: 52-Week Results from a Prospective Observational Study. Diabetes Ther 2021; 12:2907-2920. [PMID: 34536208 PMCID: PMC8519978 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-021-01148-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2021] [Accepted: 08/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of switching to teneligliptin from other dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled despite treatment with a stable dose of other DPP-4 inhibitors. METHODS Patients with glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥ 7% despite taking DPP-4 inhibitors other than teneligliptin, with or without other antidiabetic agents, for at least 3 months were enrolled in this study. Patients on DPP-4 inhibitors administered prior to participation in this study were switched to 20 mg teneligliptin once daily and the dose was maintained for the 52-week study period. The primary endpoint was the change in HbA1c at week 12. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and the blood lipid profile were also evaluated. Adverse events were monitored for safety assessment. RESULTS At weeks 12, 24, and 52, the HbA1c values significantly decreased by - 0.39, - 0.44, and - 0.52%, respectively, compared to the baseline value (p < 0.0001); in addition, 56.3, 60.3, and 62.3% of patients, respectively, achieved decreases in HbA1c of at least 0.3%, and 40.1, 46.5, and 52.4% of patients, respectively, achieved decreases in HbA1c of at least 0.5%. The proportion of the patient population achieving HbA1c < 7.0% increased throughout the study period, reaching 30.4, 35.4, and 36.9% at weeks 12, 24, and 52, respectively; at these same time points, the percentage of patients achieving HbA1c < 6.5% increased to 9.5, 11.9, and 13.2% of the total study population. FPG levels and lipid parameters were also significantly decreased after teneligliptin treatment. There were no significant safety concerns. CONCLUSION Our results suggest the significant glucose-lowering effect of teneligliptin after switching from other DPP-4 inhibitors in patients with T2DM. The improvement in glycemic control was maintained for up to 52 weeks without safety concerns.
