Nonpharmacological interventions on glycated haemoglobin in youth with type 1 diabetes: a Bayesian network meta-analysis. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:230. [PMID: 38951907 PMCID: PMC11218128 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02301-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024] Open
Abstract
The available evidence on the impact of specific non-pharmacological interventions on glycaemic control is currently limited. Consequently, there is a need to determine which interventions could provide the most significant benefits for the metabolic health of young individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to identify optimal nonpharmacological interventions on glycaemic control, measured by glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and SPORTDiscus from inception to July 1, 2023. Randomised clinical trials (RCT) investigating nonpharmacological interventions (e.g., physical activity, nutrition, and behavioural therapies) were included. Primary outcome was change in HbA1c levels. Secondary outcome was change in daily insulin dose requirement. Seventy-four RCT with 6,815 participants (49.43% girls) involving 20 interventions were analysed using a network meta-analysis. Most interventions showed greater efficacy than standard care. However, multicomponent exercise, which includes aerobic and strength training (n = 214, standardised mean difference [SMD] =- 0.63, 95% credible interval [95% CrI] - 1.09 to - 0.16) and nutritional supplements (n = 146, SMD =- 0.49, - 0 .92 to - 0.07) demonstrated the greatest HbA1c reductions. These interventions also led to the larger decreases in daily insulin needs (n = 119, SMD =- 0.79, 95% CrI - 1.19 to - 0.34) and (n = 57, SMD =- 0.62, 95% CrI - 1.18 to - 0.12, respectively). The current study underscores non-pharmacological options such as multicomponent exercise and nutritional supplements, showcasing their potential to significantly improve HbA1c in youth with type 1 diabetes. Although additional research to confirm their efficacy is required, these approaches could be considered as potential adjuvant therapeutic options in the management of type 1 diabetes among children and adolescents.

Abstract
Purpose To compare the changes in body weight and glycemic control before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods In 47,065 individuals with T1D from the German Diabetes Prospective Follow-up Registry (DPV), we compared the adjusted mean changes in BMI-Z-scores and HbA1c as well as the distribution of individual changes between four periods from March 2018 to February 2022, by sex and age group (4- < 11, 11- < 16, 16-50 years). Results At population level, the only significant pandemic effects were a slight increase in BMI Z-score in prepubertal children (girls: + 0.03 in the first COVID year vs. before, P < 0.01; boys: + 0.04, P < 0.01) as well as a stabilization of HbA1c in all subgroups or even improvement in women (- 0.08%, P < 0.01). At individual level, however, heterogeneity increased significantly (p < 0.01), especially in children. More prepubertal children gained weight (girls: 45% vs. 35% before COVID; boys: 39% vs. 33%). More pubertal girls lost weight (30% vs. 21%) and fewer gained weight (43% vs. 54%). More children had a decreasing HbA1c (prepubertal group: 29% vs. 22%; pubertal girls: 33% vs. 28%; pubertal boys: 32% vs. 25%) and fewer had increasing values. More women had stable HbA1c and fewer had increasing values (30% vs. 37%). In men, no significant changes were observed. Conclusion This real-world analysis shows no detrimental consequences of the two first COVID years on weight and HbA1c in T1D on average, but reveals, beyond the mean trends, a greater variability at the individual level.

Psychosocial Burden During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes in Germany and Its Association With Metabolic Control. J Adolesc Health 2024; 74:900-907. [PMID: 38323968 DOI: 10.1016/j.jadohealth.2023.12.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the psychosocial burden during the COVID-19 pandemic in adolescents with type 1 diabetes and its association with metabolic control. METHODS Prospective multicenter observational cohort study based on data from the German Diabetes Prospective Follow-up Registry. Adolescents aged 12-20 years with type 1 diabetes were asked during routine follow-up visits to complete a questionnaire on psychosocial distress and daily use of electronic media during the COVID-19 pandemic from June 2021 to November 2022. Well-being, anxiety, and depression symptoms were assessed using World Health Organization Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5), General Anxiety Disorder scale 7 (GAD-7), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 questionnaires. The impact of mental health symptoms on metabolic control was analyzed by using multivariable linear regression models adjusted for sex, diabetes duration, treatment, socioeconomic deprivation, and immigrant background. RESULTS Six hundred eighty eight adolescents (45.6% females) from 20 diabetes centers participated. Compared with a prepandemic cohort, WHO-5 scores were lower during the COVID-19 pandemic (estimated mean difference -9.6 [95% confidence interval -11.6; -7.6], p < .001), but GAD-7 scores were not different (estimated mean difference 0.6 [95% confidence interval -0.2; 1.5], p = .14). HbA1c was significantly positively associated with GAD-7 and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and negatively associated with WHO-5 scores (all p < .001). Daily electronic media use was positively associated with adjusted mental health symptoms (all p < .01). DISCUSSION Although the overall well-being of adolescents with type 1 diabetes was reduced during the later phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, the additional psychological burden was relatively low. However, mental health symptoms were associated with poorer metabolic control and higher use of electronic media.

A Non-Toxic Binuclear Vanadium(IV) Complex as Insulin Adjuvant Improves the Glycemic Control in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:486.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) complications are a burden to health care systems due to the associated consequences of poor glycemic control and the side effects of insulin therapy. Recently. adjuvant therapies, such as vanadium compounds, have gained attention due to their potential to improve glucose homeostasis in patients with diabetes. In order to determine the anti-diabetic and antioxidant effects of the oxidovanadium(IV) complex (Et3NH)2[{VO(OH}2)(ox)2(µ-ox)] or Vox2), rats with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes were treated with 30 and 100 mg/kg of Vox2, orally administered for 12 days. Vox2 at 100 mg/kg in association with insulin caused a 3.4 times decrease in blood glucose in STZ rats (424 mg/dL), reaching concentrations similar to those in the normoglycemic animals (126 mg/dL). Compared to insulin alone, the association with Vox2 caused an additional decrease in blood glucose of 39% and 65% at 30 and 100 mg/kg, respectively, and an increased pancreatic GSH levels 2.5 times. Vox2 alone did not cause gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea, and hepatic or renal toxicity and was not associated with changes in blood glucose level, lipid profile, or kidney or liver function. Our results highlight the potential of Vox2 in association with insulin in treating diabetes.

Abstract
Aims: We evaluated attainment of the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) target of ≤7.0%, its temporal trends, and associated factors among adults with type 1 diabetes in Ontario, Canada, using administrative data. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study, including Ontarians with type 1 diabetes ≥18 years old with ≥1 HbA1c test between April 1, 2012 (fiscal year 2013), and March 31, 2023. Generalized estimating equations were used to determine probabilities of meeting the HbA1c target, as well as associations between fiscal year and individual-, physician-, and system-level factors on odds of meeting the target. Results: Among 28,827 adults with type 1 diabetes [14,385 (49.9%) female, 17,998 (62.4%) pump users], with median age at index of 25 years [interquartile range (IQR) 18-37] and median diabetes duration of 12 years [6-18], there were 474,714 HbA1c tests [median 2/individual/year (IQR: 1-3)]. The model-estimated probability of meeting the HbA1c target of ≤7.0% was 22.1% (95% confidence interval, CI: 21.6 to 22.5) in 2013, remained stable until 2020, and increased to 34.7% (95% CI: 34.3 to 35.2) in 2023. The age- and sex-adjusted odds ratio for meeting the target in 2023 versus 2013 was 1.87 (95% CI: 1.79 to 1.96). Young adults (18-25 years), diabetic ketoacidosis, greater comorbidity, and receiving diabetes care from a nonspecialist physician were associated with reduced odds of meeting the HbA1c target. Conclusions: One-third of adults with type 1 diabetes in Ontario met the recommended HbA1c target of ≤7.0% in 2023, with improvement noted since 2021, which may be due to advanced technologies or effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mental disorders are important comorbidities in youth with obesity. Aim was to describe the clinical characteristics and outcome of youth with overweight or obesity having comorbid mental disorders. METHODS Data from children, adolescents, and young adults (age 6-30 years) with overweight or obesity and mental disorders (depression, anxiety disorder, eating disorder, attention deficit disorder (ADHD)) from 226 centers in Germany and Austria participating in the Adiposity Patient Registry (APV) were analyzed and compared with those without reported mental disorders using regression modeling. RESULTS Mental health comorbidity was reported in a total of 3969 out of 114,248 individuals with overweight or obesity: 42.5% had ADHD, 31.3% anxiety disorders, 24.3% depression, and 12.9% eating disorders. Being male (OR 1.39 (95%CI 1.27;1.52)), of older age (1.42 (1.25;1.62)), or with extreme obesity (1.45 (1.30;1.63)) were most strongly associated with mental health comorbidity. Regression analysis showed that mean BMI-SDS was significantly higher in the group of individuals with depression and eating disorders (BMI-SDS 2.13 (lower; upper mean:2.09;2.16) and 2.22 (2.17;2.26)) compared to those without reported mental health comorbidity (BMI-SDS 2.008 (2.005;2.011); p < 0.001). In youth with ADHD, BMI-SDS was lower compared to those without reported mental disorders (BMI-SDS 1.91 (1.89;1.93) vs 2.008 (2.005;2.011); p < 0.001). Proportion of severe obesity was higher in individuals with depression (23.7%), anxiety disorders (17.8%), and eating disorders (33.3%), but lower in ADHD (10.3%), compared to those without reported mental disorders (13.5%, p < 0.002). Proportions of dyslipidaemia and abnormal carbohydrate metabolism were not different in youth with and without reported mental health comorbidity. BMI-SDS change after one year of lifestyle intervention program ranged between -0.22 and -0.16 and was similar in youth without and with different mental disorders. CONCLUSION Health care professionals caring for youth with overweight or obesity should be aware of comorbid mental disorders and regular mental health screening should be considered.

Abstract
AIMS This study examines how family-related factors influence the management of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). We investigate the relationship between family patterns, parental work schedules and metabolic control. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analysed data from a nationwide diabetes survey (DPV) focusing on HbA1c, severe hypoglycaemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, hospital admissions and inpatient treatment duration. We used linear regression and negative binomial regression models. Our study includes 15,340 children under the age of 18 with data on family structure and parental division of labour. RESULTS Children from two-parent households have better HbA1c outcomes than children from single-parent, blended or no-parent households (p < .0001). Higher HbA1C levels are associated with children living with an unemployed father, as opposed to those with full-time working parents or with a full-time working father and a part-time working mother (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS These findings emphasise the importance of carefully considering family structure and working time models in the management of paediatric T1DM. Our results highlight risk factors within the family environment and emphasise the need for family-focused counselling of high-risk patients or severe cases in clinical practice.

Factors associated with diabetic foot ulcers and lower limb amputations in type 1 and type 2 diabetes supported by real-world data from the German/Austrian DPV registry. J Diabetes 2024; 16:e13531. [PMID: 38403299 PMCID: PMC10894714 DOI: 10.1111/1753-0407.13531] [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: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a leading cause of lower limb amputations in people with diabetes. This study was aimed to retrospectively analyze factors affecting DFU using real-world data from a large, prospective central-European diabetes registry (DPV [Diabetes-Patienten-Verlaufsdokumentation]). MATERIALS AND METHODS We matched adults with type 1 (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D) and DFU to controls without DFU by diabetes type, age, sex, diabetes duration, and treatment year to compare possible risk factors. Cox regression was used to calculate hazard ratios for amputation among those with DFU. RESULTS In our cohort (N = 63 464), male sex, taller height, and diabetes complications such as neuropathy, peripheral artery disease, nephropathy, and retinopathy were associated with DFU (all p < .001). Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was related to DFU only in T1D (mean with 95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.8 [6.9-9.0] % vs 7.5 [6.8-8.5] %, p < .001). High triglycerides and worse low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein ratio were also associated with DFU in T1D, whereas smoking (14.7% vs 13.1%) and alcohol abuse (6.4% vs 3.8%, both p < .001) were associated with DFU in T2D. Male sex, higher Wagner grades, and high HbA1c in both diabetes types and insulin use in T2D were associated with increased hazard ratios for amputations. CONCLUSIONS Sex, body height, and diabetes complications were associated DFU risk in adults with T1D and T2D. Improvement in glycemic control and lipid levels in T1D and reduction of smoking and drinking in T2D may be appropriate interventions to reduce the risk for DFU or amputations.

BMI Z-Score (SDS) versus Calculated Body Fat Percentage: Association with Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Obese Children and Adolescents. ANNALS OF NUTRITION & METABOLISM 2023; 80:29-36. [PMID: 38128491 PMCID: PMC10857797 DOI: 10.1159/000535216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION BMI or BMI-standardized deviation score (SDS) in children and adolescents is still the standard for weight classification. [BMJ. 2019;366:4293] developed a formula to calculate body fat percentage (%BF) based on age, sex, height, weight, and ethnicity. Using data from the German/Austrian APV registry, we investigated whether the calculated %BF is superior to BMI-SDS in predicting arterial hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and impaired glucose metabolism. METHODS 94,586 children and adolescents were included (12.5 years, 48.3% male). Parental birth country (BC) was used to depict ethnicity (15.8% migration background); 95.67% were assigned to the ethnicity "white." %BF was calculated based on the Hudda formula. The relationship between BMI-SDS or %BF quartiles and outcome variables was investigated by logistic regression models, adjusted for age, sex, and migration background. Vuong test was applied to analyse predictive power. RESULTS 58.4% had arterial hypertension, 33.5% had dyslipidaemia, and 11.6% had impaired glucose metabolism. Boys were significantly more often affected, although girls had higher calculated %BF (each p < 0.05). After adjustment, both models revealed significant differences between the quartiles (all p < 0.001). The predictive power of BMI-SDS was superior to %BF for all three comorbidities (all p < 0.05). DISCUSSION The prediction of cardiometabolic comorbidities by calculated %BF was not superior to BMI-SDS. This formula developed in a British population may not be suitable for a central European population, which is applicable to this possibly less heterogeneous collective. Additional parameters, especially puberty status, should be taken into account. However, objective determinations such as bioimpedance analysis may possibly be superior to assess fat mass and cardiometabolic risk than calculated %BF.

Abstract
AIMS Socioeconomic problems may present significant challenges when trying to reach optimal glycaemic control in paediatric patients with type 1 diabetes. We examined sociodemographic factors affecting metabolic control in patients in one of the biggest paediatric diabetes clinics in Finland. METHODS One hundred ninety-one children (age 2-15 years; median 11 years; 47% female) with type 1 diabetes and their families were recruited during outpatient visits in the paediatric diabetes clinic of Tampere University Hospital, Finland. The participants completed a questionnaire on the family's sociodemographic background. The child's glycaemic control was assessed by both glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and time in range (TIR). Risk factors for poor (HbA1c ≥75 mmol/mol; TIR <40%) and optimal (HbA1c <53 mmol/mol; TIR ≥70%) metabolic control were searched using logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Living in a nuclear family, male gender, younger age and a school assistant for diabetes management were associated with the simultaneous presence of both indicators of optimal metabolic control. Poor glycaemic control, as estimated by HbA1c, was associated with lower parental education and the child's older age. Parental smoking and the child's older age were associated with poor TIR. CONCLUSION This study confirms the importance of sociodemographic factors in care of Finnish paediatric patients with type 1 diabetes. Sociodemographic status markers of the family could be used as triggers to alert paediatric diabetes teams to offer more tailored care to families with new-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus.

The impact of daily mean air temperature on the proportion of time in hypoglycemia in 2,582 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes - Is this association clinically relevant? ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 233:116488.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the potential association between increases in daily mean air temperature and time below range (TBR <54 mg/dl) and time above range (TAR >250 mg/dl) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Individuals with type 1 diabetes <21 years with information on daily glucose profiles from the diabetes prospective follow-up study (DPV) were included (n = 2582). Further inclusion criteria were age at least 6 months at diabetes onset, diabetes duration for at least one year and treatment years 2020-2021. Mean daily air temperature and other meteorological parameters from 78 measurement stations in Germany were linked to the individual glucose sensor profile via the five-digit postcode areas of residency. We used multivariable repeated measures fractional logistic regression models with a compound symmetry covariance structure to study the association between a 1 °C increase in daily mean temperature and time in specific glucose ranges. RESULTS A 1 °C increase in daily mean temperature was associated with an acute (Odds Ratio (OR) 1.009 (95%-CI 1.007, 1.011)) and up to 7 days delayed (OR 1.003 (1.001, 1.005)) increase in TBR <54 mg/dl. Moreover, an acute decrease in TAR >250 mg/dl (OR 0.997 (0.996, 0.997)) was found. CONCLUSIONS Results of the DPV registry showed small, but statistically significant changes in TBR and TAR in association with a short-term temperature increase. Higher blood flow and faster insulin absorption might be one possible mechanism. In times of increasing temperature fluctuations meteorological impacts on time in range could become even more relevant.

Abstract
AIM To assess effects of the SARS-CoV2 pandemic on metabolic control in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Germany in a population-based analysis. METHODS Data from 33,372 pediatric T1D patients from the Diabetes Prospective Follow-up (DPV) registry, with face-to-face visits or telemedicine contacts in the years 2019-2021, were available. Datasets from eight time periods between March 15, 2020, and December 31, 2021, according to SARS-CoV2 incidence waves, were compared to those from five control time periods. Parameters of metabolic control were assessed with adjustment for sex, age, diabetes duration, and repeated measurements. Laboratory-measured HbA1c values and those estimated from CGM were aggregated into a combined glucose indicator (CGI). RESULTS There was no clinically relevant difference in metabolic control between pandemic and control time periods with adjusted CGI values ranging from 7.61% [7.60-7.63] (mean [95% confidence interval (CI)]) in the third quarter of 2019 to 7.83% [7.82-7.85] in the time period from January 1 to March 15 2020, in the other control periods, and during the pandemic, CGI values lay between these values. BMI-SDS rose during the pandemic from 0.29 [0.28-0.30] (mean [95% CI]) in the third quarter of 2019 to 0.40 [0.39-0.41] during the fourth wave. Adjusted insulin dose rose during the pandemic. Event rates for hypoglycemic coma and diabetic ketoacidosis remained unchanged. CONCLUSIONS We found no clinically relevant change of glycemic control or incidence of acute diabetes complications during the pandemic. The observed BMI increase may represent an important health risk for youth with T1D.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the frequency, treatment, and outcome of patients with diabetes due to severe insulin resistance syndromes (SIRS). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Based on data from the multicenter prospective Diabetes Registry DPV, we analyzed diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of 636,777 patients with diabetes from 1995 to 2022. RESULTS Diabetes due to SIRS was documented in 67 cases (62.7% females), 25 (37%) had lipodystrophies (LD) and 42 (63%) had congenital defects of insulin signaling. The relative frequency compared to type 1 diabetes (T1D) was about 1:2300. Median age at diabetes diagnosis in patients with SIRS was 14.8 years (interquartile range (IQR) 12.8-33.8). A total of 38 patients with SIRS (57%) received insulin and 34 (51%) other antidiabetics, mostly metformin. As high as 16% of patients with LD were treated with fibrates. Three out of eight patients with generalized LD (37.5%) were treated with metreleptin and one patient with Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome was treated with recombinant insulin-like growth factor 1. The median glycated hemoglobin level at follow-up was 7.1% (54 mmol/mol). Patients with LD had higher triglycerides than patients with T1D and T2D (P < 0.001 and P = 0.022, respectively), and also significantly higher liver enzymes and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol than patients with T1D (P < 0.001). Patients with insulin receptor disorders were significantly less likely to be treated with antihypertensive medication than patients with T2D (P = 0.042), despite having similar levels of hypertension. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes due to SIRS is rarely diagnosed and should be suspected in lean children or young adults without classical T1D. Awareness of cardiovascular risk factors in these patients should be raised.

Abstract
Mental comorbidities in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) are common, and can have a negative impact on acute blood glucose levels and long-term metabolic control. Information on the association of T1D and comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with diabetes-related outcomes is limited. The aim was to examine the associations between a clinical diagnosis of PTSD and diabetes-related outcomes in patients with T1D. Patients with T1D and comorbid documented PTSD from the DPV database (n = 179) were compared to a group with T1D without PTSD (n = 895), and compared to a group with T1D without comorbid mental disorder (n = 895) by matching demographics (age, gender, duration of diabetes, therapy and migration background) 1:5. Clinical diabetes-related outcomes {body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin A1c (hbA1c), daily insulin dose, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), hypoglycemia, number of hospital admissions, number of hospital days} were analyzed, stratified by age groups (≤ 25 years vs. > 25 years). Patients with comorbid PTSD aged ≤ 25 years compared with patients without PTSD or patients without mental disorders had significantly higher HbA1c (8.71 vs. 8.30 or 8.24%), higher number of hospital admissions (0.94 vs. 0.44 or 0.32 per year) and higher rates of DKA (0.10 vs. 0.02 or 0.01 events/year). Patients with comorbid PTSD aged ≤ 25 years compared with patients without PTSD had significantly higher BMI (0.85 vs. 0.59) and longer hospital stays (15.89 vs.11.58 days) than patients without PTSD. Patients with PTSD > 25 years compared with patients without PTSD or without any mental comorbidities had significantly fewer hospital admissions (0.49 vs. 0.77 or 0.69), but a longer hospital length of stay (20.35 vs. 11.58 or 1.09 days). We found that PTSD in younger patients with T1D is significantly related to diabetes outcome. In adult patients with T1D, comorbid PTSD is associated with fewer, but longer hospitalizations. Awareness of PTSD in the care of patients with T1D should be raised and psychological intervention should be provided when necessary.

[PMID: 36621521 PMCID: PMC9870744 DOI: 10.1111/1753-0407.13340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The diverse stages of the COVID-19 pandemic led to several social circumstances that influenced daily life and health behavior. PURPOSE To evaluate changes in cardiovascular risk factors and physical activity among children and young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany compared to previous years. METHODS A total of 32 785 individuals aged 6-21 years at baseline with T1D from the German diabetes patient follow-up (DPV) registry contributed data on 101 484 person-years between 2016 and 2021. The first treatment year of each individual within this period was considered as baseline. Based on trends from 2016 to 2019, we estimated differences in body mass index-SD score (BMI-SDS), blood pressure (BP-SDS), and lipid levels (non-high-density lipoprotein [non-HDL]) between observed and predicted estimates for the years 2020 and 2021 using linear regression analysis standardized for age, diabetes duration, sex, and migratory background. The proportion doing organized sports and smoking cigarettes was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS BMI-SDS increased constantly from 2016 to 2021 without a significant increase above expected values for 2020/2021. Systolic BP-SDS (difference observed vs. expected with 95% confidence interval, 2020: 0.10 [0.07-0.14], 2021: 0.17 [0.14-0.20]) and non-HDL (2020: 2.7 [1.3-4.1] mg/dl, 2021: 4.1 [2.7-5.5] mg/dl) were significantly increased (all p < .001) in both pandemic years. The proportion of subjects participating in organized sports was reduced from over 70% in prepandemic years to 35%-65% in diverse stages/waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. The percentage smoking cigarettes did not change. CONCLUSIONS We describe an increase in BP and atherogenic lipid levels coinciding with a reduction in physical activity but no acceleration of the prepandemic increases in BMI-SDS among young people with T1D during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Hypoglycaemia is common in patients with diabetes mellitus and is a limiting factor for achieving adequate glycaemic control. In the vast majority of cases, hypoglycaemia develops due to the imbalance between food intake and insulin injections. As recurrent hypoglycaemia leads to significant morbidity and mortality, the recognition and immediate treatment of hypoglycaemia in diabetic patients is thus important. In the last 20 years, the introduction of improved insulin analogues, insulin pump therapy, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and sensor-augmented pump therapy have all made significant improvements in helping to reduce and prevent hypoglycaemia. In terms of treatment, the American Diabetes Association recommends oral glucose as the first-line treatment option for all conscious patients with hypoglycaemia. The second line of treatment (or first line in unconscious patients) is the use of glucagon. Novel formulations of glucagon include the nasal form, the Gvoke HypoPen which is a ready-to-deliver auto-injector packaged formulation and finally a glucagon analogue, Dasiglucagon. The Dasiglucagon formulation has recently been approved for the treatment of severe hypoglycaemia. It is a ready-to-use, similar to endogenous glucagon and its potency is also the same as native glucagon. It does not require reconstitution before injection and therefore ensures better compliance. Thus, significant improvements including development of newer insulin analogues, insulin pump therapy, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), sensor-augmented pump therapy and novel formulations of glucagon have all contributed to reducing and preventing hypoglycaemia in diabetic individuals. However, considerable challenges remain as not all patients have access to diabetes technologies and to the newer glucagon formulations to help reduce and prevent hypoglycaemia.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Während der Pandemie zeigte sich ein Rückgang
durchgeführter Kinderrehabilitationen um mehr als 30% im Pandemiejahr 2020. Die Daten stammen
vom Rentenversicherungsträger, der aber nicht alleine Träger für Kinderrehabilitationen ist.
Die DPV-Datenbank bietet die Möglichkeit alle Rehabilitanden mit Diabetes unabhängig vom
Träger in den Vor-Pandemiejahren und den Jahren 2020/21 zu analysieren.
Methoden Vergleich der stationären Aufnahmen in 11 Rehakliniken
in den Jahren 2019 (vor Pandemie) mit 2020/21. Monatliche Analyse von Zahl der Aufnahmen,
Liegedauer, HbA1c- und BMI-Entwicklung. Ost-West-Vergleich sowie Subanalyse von Rehabilitanden
unter und über 12 Jahren.
Ergebnisse Im Jahr 2019 wurden 2237 Kinder und Jugendliche mit
Typ 1 Diabetes rehabilitiert, in 2020 Reduktion auf 1455 (35%) und keine Erholung in 2021
(n=1447). Ein besonders starker Einbruch der aufgenommenen Kinder und Jugendlichen zeigte sich
im April und Mai 2020 während des 1. Lockdowns. Auch bei der Liegedauer zeigte sich dieser
Einbruch in der Zeit des ersten Lockdowns. Im Ost-West-Vergleich ist die Zahl der
Rehabilitanden im Osten stabiler geblieben. Der HbA1c zeigte während der Monate des ersten
Lockdowns einen signifikanten Anstieg (April 2019: 8.19% (7.94, 8.44); April 2020: 8.68%
(8.25, 9.11); April 2021 7.94% (7.63, 8.24)). In der altersstratifizierten Analyse zeigte sich
ein Anstieg auf höherem Niveau des HbA1c in den Monaten des ersten Lockdowns bei den
Jugendlichen in Vergleich zu den Kindern unter 12 Jahren. Der BMI-SDS war in 2019 bei 0.29
(0.24¸ 0.33), stieg im Jahr 2020 auf 0.35 (0.29; 0.41) und weiter auf 0.41 (0.35; 0.46) in
2021.
Schlussfolgerung Es kam zu einem deutlichen Abfall der
stationären Rehabilitationen während der Corona-Pandemie und zu keiner Erholung im 2.
Pandemiejahr.

Abstract
Background: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) might have beneficial effects on glycemic control and body mass index (BMI) in adults with type 1 (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: The diabetes prospective follow-up registry was used to identify individuals with T1D or T2D ≥18 years starting CGM management in 2015 or later and follow-up information available. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), BMI, and event rates of severe hypoglycemia in the year before CGM start were compared with two follow-up periods: (1) CGM use for 3-6 months and (2) CGM use for >6 months. Repeated measurements linear and negative binomial regressions were used (adjustment for sex, age at diabetes onset, and baseline parameters) and stratified by diabetes type. Results: Mean follow-up time was 1.8 years in T1D (n = 2994) and 1.9 years in T2D (n = 1440). In T1D, adjusted mean HbA1c decreased significantly from 7.65% (95% confidence interval: 7.62-7.68) at baseline to 7.54% (7.51-7.57) during follow-up. BMI increased slightly (baseline: 25.4 kg/m2 [25.3-25.5], follow-up >6 months: 25.8 kg/m2 [25.7-25.9]), whereas event rates of severe hypoglycemia were significantly lower after >6 months with CGM (9.0 events/100 patient-years [PY; 8.0-10.1]) compared with baseline (11.3 events/100 PY [10.4-12.2]) in adults with T1D. In T2D, HbA1c decreased from 7.21% (7.17%-7.25%) to 7.00% (6.95%-7.04%) and BMI did not change after CGM initiation. Conclusion: Our results provide real-world evidence on CGM management in adult individuals with T1D or T2D. We suggest strengthening patients' and physicians' readiness toward diabetes technology in T2D and more openness of health insurance to cover cost based on proven benefits.

Suboptimal glycemic control in adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes from 2011 to 2020 across Australia and New Zealand: Data from the Australasian Diabetes Data Network registry. Pediatr Diabetes 2022; 23:736-741. [PMID: 35561056 DOI: 10.1111/pedi.13364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Revised: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Competing challenges in adolescence and young adulthood can distract from optimal type 1 diabetes (T1D) self-management, and increase risks of premature morbidity and mortality. There are limited data mapping the glycemic control of people with T1D in this age group, across Australasia. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Clinical data were extracted from the Australasian Diabetes Data Network, a prospective clinical diabetes registry. Inclusion criteria were individuals with T1D aged 16-25 years at their last recorded T1D healthcare visit (from 1st January 2011 to 31st December 2020), with T1D duration of at least 1 year. Data were stratified by two last recorded T1D healthcare visit ranges, while generalized estimated equation (GEE) modeling was used to examine factors associated with HbA1c across visits during the 10 year period. RESULTS Data from 6329 young people (52.6% male) attending 24 diabetes centers across Australasia were included. At the last visit within the most recent 5 years, mean ± SD age was 18.5 ± 2.3 years, T1D duration was 8.8 ± 4.7 years and HbA1c was 8.8 ± 1.8% (72.2 ± 19.9 mmol/mol); only 12.3% had an HbA1c below the international target of <7.0% (53 mmol/mol). Across all T1D healthcare visits, in GEE modeling, higher HbA1c was associated with female sex (B = 0.20; 95% CI 0.12 to 0.29, p < 0.001), longer T1D duration (B = 0.04, 0.03 to 0.05, p < 0.001). Lower HbA1c was associated with attendance at a pediatric T1D healthcare setting (B = -0.33, -0.45 to -0.21, p < 0.001) and use of CSII versus BD/MDI therapy (B = -0.49, -0.59 to 0.40, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This Australasian study demonstrates widespread and persistent sub-optimal glycemic control in young people with T1D, highlighting the urgent need to better understand how healthcare services can support improved glycemic control in this population.

The Relationship between Selected Inflammation and Oxidative Stress Biomarkers and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (IMT) Value in Youth with Type 1 Diabetes Co-Existing with Early Microvascular Complications. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11164732.

Abstract
Recent years have confirmed the importance of oxidative stress and biomarkers of inflammation in estimating the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and explaining not fully understood pathogenesis of diabetic macroangiopathy. We aimed to analyze the relation between the intima-media thickness (IMT) of common carotid arteries and the occurrence of classical cardiovascular risk factors, together with the newly proposed biomarkers of CVD risk (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), myeloperoxidase (MPO), adiponectin, N-terminal-pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and vitamin D) in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) recognized in screening tests to present early stages of microvascular complications (VC). The study group consisted of 50 adolescents and young adults with T1D, mean age 17.1 years (10–26 age range), including 20 patients with VC (+) and 30 VC (−). The control group (Control) consisted of 22 healthy volunteers, mean age 16.5 years (11–26 age range). In the VC (+) patients, we found a significantly higher concentration of HbA1c, lipid levels, hsCRP and NT-proBNP. BMI and blood pressure values were highest in the VC (+) group. Higher levels of MPO and lower levels of vitamin D were found in both diabetic groups vs. Control. IMT in VC (+) patients was significantly higher and correlated positively with HbA1c, hsCRP, NT-pro-BNP and negatively with vitamin D levels. In conclusion, youth with T1D and VC (+) present many abnormalities in the classical and new CVD biomarkers. hsCRP and MPO seem to be the most important markers for estimating the risk of macroangiopathy. NT-proBNP may present a possible marker of early myocardial injury in this population.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The benefits of intensive diabetes management have been established by the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial. However, challenges with optimizing glycemic management in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) remain across pediatric clinics in the United States. This article will review our Teamwork, Targets, Technology, and Tight Control (4T) study that implements emerging diabetes technology into clinical practice with a team approach to sustain tight glycemic control from the onset of T1D and beyond to optimize clinical outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS During the 4T Pilot study and study 1, our team-based approach to intensive target setting, education, and remote data review has led to significant improvements in hemoglobin A1c throughout the first year of T1D diagnosis in youth, as well as family and provider satisfaction. SUMMARY The next steps include refinement of the current 4T study 1, developing a business case, and broader implementation of the 4T study. In study 2, we are including a more pragmatic cadence of remote data review and disseminating exercise education and activity tracking to both English- and Spanish-speaking families. The overall goal is to create and implement a translatable program that can facilitate better outcomes for pediatric clinics across the USA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether socioeconomic deprivation and urbanization are associated with the frequency of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at diagnosis of pediatric type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Children and adolescents aged ≤18 years, living in Germany, with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes documented between 2016 and 2019 in the Diabetes Prospective Follow-up Registry (DPV; Diabetes-Patienten-Verlaufsdokumentation), were assigned to a quintile of regional socioeconomic deprivation (German Index of Socioeconomic Deprivation) and to a degree of urbanization (Eurostat) by using their residence postal code. With multiple logistic regression models, we investigated whether the frequency of DKA at diagnosis was associated with socioeconomic deprivation or urbanization and whether associations differed by age-group, sex, or migration status. RESULTS In 10,598 children and adolescents with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, the frequency of DKA was lowest in the least deprived regions (Q1: 20.6% [95% CI 19.0-22.4], and increased with growing socioeconomic deprivation to 26.9% [25.0-28.8] in the most deprived regions [Q5]; P for trend <0.001). In rural areas, the frequency of DKA at diagnosis was significantly higher than in towns and suburbs (intermediate areas) or in cities (27.6% [95% CI 26.0-29.3] vs. 22.7% [21.4-24.0], P < 0.001, or vs. 24.3% [22.9-25.7], P = 0.007, respectively). The results did not significantly differ by age-group, sex, or migration background or after additional adjustment for socioeconomic deprivation or urbanization. CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence that prevention of DKA at diagnosis by means of awareness campaigns and screening for presymptomatic type 1 diabetes should particularly target socioeconomically disadvantaged regions and rural areas.

Abstract
AIM Screening for coeliac disease in asymptomatic children with new-onset type 1 diabetes is controversial. The aim of this study was to analyse whether the confirmation of coeliac disease in children with new-onset type 1 diabetes and positive screening results can be postponed. METHODS This was a multicentre population-based cohort study based on the German/Austrian/Swiss/Luxembourgian Prospective Diabetes Follow-up Registry (Diabetes Patienten Verlaufsdokumentation [DPV]). Participants aged ≤18 years diagnosed with type 1 diabetes between 1995 and June 2021 and with elevated IgA tissue transglutaminase antibodies (anti-tTGA) at diabetes onset on screening for coeliac disease were included. We compared outcomes of participants with a diabetes duration of more than 1 year between those in whom coeliac disease was confirmed histologically within the first 6 months and those in whom coeliac disease was confirmed between 6 and 36 months after diabetes diagnosis. RESULTS Of 92,278 children and adolescents with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, 26,952 (29.2%) had documented anti-tTGA data at diabetes onset. Of these, 2340 (8.7%) had an elevated anti-tTGA level. Individuals who screened positive were younger (median age 9.0 vs 9.8 years, p<0.001) and more often female (53.1% vs 44.4%, p<0.001). A total of 533 participants (22.8% of those who screened positive) had a documented biopsy, of whom 444 had documented histological confirmation of coeliac disease. Of 411 participants with biopsy-proven coeliac disease within the first 36 months of diabetes and follow-up data, histological confirmation was performed in 264 (64.2%) within the first 6 months and in 147 (35.8%) between 6 and 36 months after diabetes onset. At follow-up (median diabetes duration 5.3 years and 5.1 years, respectively), estimated median HbA1c levels (62.8 mmol/mol vs 62.2 mmol/mol [7.9% vs 7.8%]), cardiovascular risk markers (lipids, rate of microalbuminuria, blood pressure), rates of acute diabetes complications (diabetic ketoacidosis, severe hypoglycaemia) and the proportions of participants reaching anti-tTGA levels within the normal range did not differ between groups. Participants with delayed histological confirmation of coeliac disease showed no negative effects on growth or weight gain during the observation period. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that the histological confirmation of coeliac disease in asymptomatic individuals with new-onset type 1 diabetes could be postponed.

Abstract
AbstractThe aim of the study is to evaluate whether exercise interventions are associated with improved glycaemic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), and to examine its relationship with the characteristics of the intervention (i.e., type, intensity, length, and duration of the sessions). Eligible criteria were randomised controlled trials of youth aged 6-18 years with T1DM, participating in an exercise-based intervention where glycaemic control is measured (i.e., glycated haemoglobin [HbA1c]). Pooled effect sizes (Hedges'g) were calculated using random-effects inverse-variance analyses. Fourteen studies enrolling 509 patients were analysed. Effect size was expressed as Hedges' g to correct for possible small sample bias. Overall, HbA1c levels in the exercise group (g=-0.38 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.66 to -0.11; mean difference [MD]=-0.62%) were reduced compared with the control group. Concurrent training (g=-0.63 95%CI, -1.05 to -0.21), high-intensity exercise (g=-0.43 95%CI, -0.83 to -0.03), interventions ≥24 weeks (g=-0.92 95%CI, -1.44 to -0.40), and sessions ≥60 minutes (g=-0.71 95%CI, -1.05 to -0.08) showed larger changes (MD=-0.66% to 1.30%). In conclusion, our study suggests that programs longer than 24 weeks with at least 60 min/session of high-intensity concurrent exercise may serve as a supportive therapy to metabolic control in youth with T1DM.

Diabetes Ther 2022; 13:1175-1185. [PMID: 35476279 PMCID: PMC9174370 DOI: 10.1007/s13300-022-01253-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Real-world evidence (RWE) confirms that reductions in HbA1c for children and adults with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are associated with use of the FreeStyle Libre system. This current meta-analysis aims to investigate whether HbA1c benefits are sustained over 24 months and to identify patterns of change in HbA1c for users of the FreeStyle Libre system for people living with T1DM or T2DM. METHODS A bibliographic search up to December 2020 identified 75 studies reporting data on change in lab HbA1c in 30,478 participants with type 1 (n = 28,063; 62 trials) or type 2 diabetes (n = 2415; 13 trials) using the FreeStyle Libre system, including observations on children, adolescents and adults. Meta-analysis was performed using a random effects model. RESULTS Reductions in HbA1c at 3-4 months were similar for adults with T1DM (- 0.53%, 95% CI - 0.69 to - 0.38) or with T2DM (- 0.45%, 95% CI - 0.57 to - 0.33), continuing through 4.5-7.5 months in T1DM (- 0.42%, 95% CI - 0.58 to - 0.27) and in T2DM (- 0.59%, 95% CI - 0.80 to - 0.39). Meta-regression analysis shows that higher starting HbA1c is correlated with greater reductions in HbA1c in T1DM and in T2DM. These patterns of change in HbA1c were sustained for 24 months in T1DM and for at least 12 months in T2DM. CONCLUSIONS Meta-analysis of RWE confirms that using the FreeStyle Libre system is associated with significant reductions in HbA1c for adults with T1DM or with T2DM. Reductions are greater for people with higher baseline HbA1c and are sustained for 24 and 12 months in T1DM and TD2M respectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study diabetic cataract in type 1 diabetes in a large pediatric cohort. METHODS The 92,633 patients aged 0.5-21 years from German/Austrian multicenter diabetes registry (DPV) were analyzed. The 235 patients (0.25%) with diabetic cataract were found, 200 could be categorized: 67 with early cataract (3 months before diabetes onset - 12 months afterwards), 133 with late cataract (>12 months after diabetes onset). Regression models adjusted for age and gender were used to compare clinical parameters at diabetes onset. Regression models for patients with late cataract were implemented for the total documentation period and additionally adjusted for diabetes duration. RESULTS Rate of cataract development shows a peak at diabetes onset and declines with longer diabetes duration. Patients with cataract showed strong female preponderance. Patients developing early cataract were older at diabetes onset (12.8 years [11.8/13.9] vs. 8.9 [8.9/9.0]; p < 0.001) and showed higher HbA1c than patients without cataract (9.0% [8.55/9.38] vs. 7.6% [7.60/7.61]; p < 0.001). They had lower height-SDS, (-0.22 [-0.48/0.04] vs. 0.25 [0.24/0.26]; p < 0.001), lower weight-SDS (-0.31 [-0.55/-0.08] vs. 0.21 [0.20/0.21]; p < 0.001) and lower BMI-SDS (-0.25 [-0.49/-0.02] vs. 0.12 [0.12/0.13); p = 0.002). Patients with late cataract showed higher HbA1c at diabetes onset (8.35% [8.08/8.62] vs. 8.04% [8.03/8.05]; p = 0.023) and higher mean HbA1c during total documentation period (8.00% [7.62/8.34] vs. 7.62% [7.61/7.63]; p = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS Our data confirm known demographic and clinical characteristics of patients developing early cataract. Hyperglycemia-induced osmotic damage to lens fibers at diabetes onset might be the main pathomechanism. Long term glycemic control is associated with cataract development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess if metabolic control worsened during the SARS-CoV2 lockdown in spring 2020 in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Germany. METHODS Data from 19,729 pediatric T1D patients from the diabetes prospective follow-up (DPV) registry were available. Data sets from four time-periods between January 1 and June 30, 2020, were compared with data from the whole year 2019 in the same patient; differences were adjusted for seasonality, increasing age, and longer diabetes duration. HbA1c values from laboratory measurements and estimates derived from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) were aggregated into a combined glucose indicator (CGI), expressed in analogy to HbA1c. RESULTS Based on regression models adjusted for differences of sex, age, diabetes duration, and migratory background between the four time-periods, CGI values in 2020 were slightly higher than in 2019, for example, by 0.044% (0.042-0.046) (median [95% CI]) in the second lockdown month, time-period 3. Insulin dose and BMI-SDS were also marginally higher. In 2020, there were fewer hospitalizations (e.g., incidence risk ratio in time-period 3 compared with 2019: 0.52 [95% CI: 0.46-0.58]). In a subgroup of patients reporting CGM data in both years, metrics in 2020 improved: time in target increased, and mean sensor glucose fell, for example, by 2.8% (2.7-2.9), and by 4.4 mg/dl (4.3-4.6) in time-period 3. CONCLUSION Before, during, and after the lockdown in spring 2020, metabolic control in youth with T1D in Germany did not differ significantly from the preceding year. Further effects of the ongoing pandemic on pediatric T1D patients need to be evaluated.

Abstract
AIM To describe the different insulin therapy patterns and insulin daily doses in children and adolescents (aged 1-17 years) with type 1 diabetes. METHODS This cross-sectional study based on the longitudinal prescription (LRx) database (IQVIA) included children and adolescents who received at least two insulin prescriptions of the same drug from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2019. The study outcomes included the proportion of patients with insulin pumps and multiple daily injection therapy, human insulin and insulin analogue use, as well as insulin daily doses. A multivariable linear regression model was used to study the association between age, sex, insulin drugs, and daily dose. RESULTS A total of 22 512 children and adolescents (mean age: 13.5 years, 47.1% female) were included. The proportion of patients using insulin pump therapy decreased with age, from 72.6% (females) and 73.0% (males) in the age group of younger than 6 years to 30.8% (females) and 26.1% (males) in adolescents. Insulin aspart was the most common short-acting insulin, with the proportion of users increasing from 56% in the age group of younger than 6 years to 69%-70% in the 13-17 years age group. The daily dose of insulin pump therapy was 10 units lower than multiple daily injection (MDI) (P < .001). CONCLUSION We found a marked age dependency for pump use, with a strong increase observed in the youngest age group. Insulin aspart was the most frequently used analogue insulin. A higher total daily insulin dose was shown in patients on MDI versus insulin pump, along with a significant age dependency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of patients with type 1 diabetes requires experience and a specific infrastructure. Therefore, center size might influence outcome in diabetes treatment. OBJECTIVE To analyze the influence of center size on the quality of diabetes treatment in children and adolescents in Germany and Austria. PATIENTS AND METHODS In 2009 and 2018, we analyzed metabolic control, acute complications, and rates of recommended screening tests in the DPV cohort. Diabetes centers were classified according to the number of patients from "XS" to "XL" (<20 [XS], ≥20 to <50 [S], ≥50 to <100 [M], ≥100 to <200 [L], ≥200 [XL]). RESULTS Over the 10-year period, metabolic control improved significantly in "M", "L" and "XL" diabetes centers. Treatment targets are best achieved in "M" centers, while "XS" centers have the highest mean hemoglobin A1c. The relation between hemoglobin A1c and center size follows a "v-shaped" curve. In 2009, conventional insulin therapy was most frequently used in "XS" centers, but in 2018, there was no difference in mode of insulin therapy according to center size. Use of CSII and sensor augmented CSII/hybrid closed loop increased with center size. Patients cared for in "XS" diabetes centers had the fewest follow-up visits per year. The rates of severe hypoglycemia and DKA were lowest in "XL" diabetes centers, and the rate of DKA was highest in "XS" centers. CONCLUSION Center size influences quality of care in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes. Further investigations regarding contributing factors such as staffing and financial resources are required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence for the metabolic impact of long-term exposure to air pollution on diabetes is lacking. We investigated the association of particulate matter <10 μm (PM10) and <2.5 μm (PM2.5) with yearly averages of HbA1c, daily insulin dose (IU/kg) and rates of severe hypoglycaemia in type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS We studied data of 44,383 individuals with T1D < 21 years which were documented in 377 German centres within the diabetes prospective follow-up registry (DPV) between 2009 and 2018. Outcomes were aggregated by year and by patient. PM10-and PM2.5-yearly averages prior to the respective treatment year were linked to individuals via the five-digit postcode areas of residency. Repeated measures linear and negative binomial regression were used to study the association between PM-quartiles (Q1 lowest, Q4 highest concentration) and yearly averages of HbA1c, daily insulin dose and rates of severe hypoglycaemia (confounders: sex, time-dependent age, age at diabetes onset, time-dependent type of treatment, migratory background, degree of urbanisation and socioeconomic index of deprivation). RESULTS Adjusted mean HbA1c increased with PM10 (Q1: 7.96% [95%-CI: 7.95-7.98], Q4: 8.03% [8.02-8.05], p-value<0.001) and with PM2.5 (Q1: 7.97% [7.95-7.99], Q4: 8.02% [8.01-8.04], p < 0.001). Changes in daily insulin dose were inversely related to PM (PM10 and PM2.5: Q1 0.85 IU/kg [0.84-0.85], Q4: 0.83 IU/kg [0.82-0.83], p < 0.001). Adjusted rates of severe hypoglycaemia increased with PM-quartile groups (PM10 Q1:11.2 events/100 PY [10.9-11.5], PM10 Q4: 15.3 [14.9-15.7], p < 0.001; PM2.5 Q1: 9.9 events/100 PY [9.6-10.2], PM2.5 Q4: 14.2 [13.9-14.6], p < 0.001). DISCUSSION Air pollution was associated with higher HbA1c levels and increased risk of severe hypoglycaemia in people with T1D, consequently indicating a higher risk of diabetes complications. Further studies are needed to explore causal pathways of the observed associations.

The Impact of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities in Diabetes Management on Clinical Outcomes: A Reinforcement Learning Analysis of Health Inequity Among Youth and Young Adults in the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study. Diabetes Care 2022; 45:108-118. [PMID: 34728528 PMCID: PMC8753766 DOI: 10.2337/dc21-0496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2021] [Accepted: 09/30/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate difference in population-level glycemic control and the emergence of diabetes complications given a theoretical scenario in which non-White youth and young adults (YYA) with type 1 diabetes (T1D) receive and follow an equivalent distribution of diabetes treatment regimens as non-Hispanic White YYA. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Longitudinal data from YYA diagnosed 2002-2005 in the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study were analyzed. Based on self-reported race/ethnicity, YYA were classified as non-White race or Hispanic ethnicity (non-White subgroup) versus non-Hispanic White race (White subgroup). In the White versus non-White subgroups, the propensity score models estimated treatment regimens, including patterns of insulin modality, self-monitored glucose frequency, and continuous glucose monitoring use. An analysis based on policy evaluation techniques in reinforcement learning estimated the effect of each treatment regimen on mean hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and the prevalence of diabetes complications for non-White YYA. RESULTS The study included 978 YYA. The sample was 47.5% female and 77.5% non-Hispanic White, with a mean age of 12.8 ± 2.4 years at diagnosis. The estimated population mean of longitudinal average HbA1c over visits was 9.2% and 8.2% for the non-White and White subgroup, respectively (difference of 0.9%). Within the non-White subgroup, mean HbA1c across visits was estimated to decrease by 0.33% (95% CI -0.45, -0.21) if these YYA received the distribution of diabetes treatment regimens of the White subgroup, explaining ∼35% of the estimated difference between the two subgroups. The non-White subgroup was also estimated to have a lower risk of developing diabetic retinopathy, diabetic kidney disease, and peripheral neuropathy with the White youth treatment regimen distribution (P < 0.05), although the low proportion of YYA who developed complications limited statistical power for risk estimations. CONCLUSIONS Mathematically modeling an equalized distribution of T1D self-management tools and technology accounted for part of but not all disparities in glycemic control between non-White and White YYA, underscoring the complexity of race and ethnicity-based health inequity.

[PMID: 35910529 PMCID: PMC9337956 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8554991] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hyperglycemia early in the course of type 1 diabetes (T1D) may increase the risk of cardiometabolic complications later in life. We tested the hypothesis that there were temporal trends in population-level glycemia and insulin pump use near T1D diagnosis among incident youth cohorts diagnosed between 2002 and 2016. METHODS Weighted and adjusted regression models were applied to data from the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study to analyze trends in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), suboptimal glycemia (HbA1c > 9% or not), and insulin pump use among youth with T1D within 30 months of diagnosis. We tested the interaction of year with race and ethnicity, sex, and insulin regimen to assess potential disparities. RESULTS Among the 3,956 youth with T1D, there was a small, clinically insignificant reduction in HbA1c between 2002 (7.9% ± 1.5) and 2016 (7.8% ± 2.4) (fully adjusted change by year (-0.013% [95% CI -0.026, -0.0008], p = 0.04). The proportion of youth with suboptimal glycemia increased with each year, but the adjusted odds did not change. Insulin pump use increased more than fivefold. Although interaction effects of time with race and ethnicity, sex, and insulin regimen were not detected, in 2016, suboptimal glycemia was 4.3 and 1.8 times more prevalent among Black and Hispanic than among non-Hispanic White youth, respectively. CONCLUSIONS There was not a clinically significant population-level improvement in glycemia across incident youth cohorts early in the course of T1D, despite severalfold increases in insulin pump use. Comprehensive clinical interventions to improve glycemia early in the T1D course and address disparities are urgently needed.

Abstract
Aims: This study assessed hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) across the lifespan in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Germany/Austria, Sweden, and the United States between 2011 and 2017 to ascertain temporal and age-related trends. Methods: Data from the Diabetes-Patienten-Verlaufsdokumentation (DPV) (n = 25,651 in 2011, n = 29,442 in 2017); Swedish Pediatric Diabetes Quality Registry (SWEDIABKIDS)/National Diabetes Register (NDR), (n = 44,474 in 2011, n = 53,690 in 2017); and T1D Exchange (n = 16,198 in 2011, n = 17,087 in 2017) registries were analyzed by linear regression to compare mean HbA1c overall and by age group. Results: Controlling for age, sex, and T1D duration, HbA1c increased in the United States between 2011 and 2017, decreased in Sweden, and did not change in Germany/Austria. Controlling for sex and T1D duration, mean HbA1c decreased between 2011 and 2017 in all age cohorts in Sweden (P < 0.001). In the United States, HbA1c stayed the same for participants <6 years and 45 to <65 years and increased in all other age groups (P < 0.05). In Germany/Austria, HbA1c stayed the same for participants <6 to <13 years and 18 to <25 years; decreased for participants ages 13 to <18 years (P < 0.01); and increased for participants ≥25 years (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The comparison of international trends in HbA1c makes it possible to identify differences, explore underlying causes, and share quality improvement processes. National quality improvement initiatives are well accepted in Europe but have yet to be implemented systematically in the United States. However, disparities created by the lack of universal access to health care coverage, unequal access to diabetes technologies (e.g., continuous glucose monitoring) regardless of insurance status, and high out-of-pocket cost for the underinsured ultimately limit the potential of quality improvement initiatives.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lower HbA1c targets and increasingly complex diabetes management with substantially increasing costs dominate today's type 1 diabetes therapy in children and adolescents. OBJECTIVE To evaluate metabolic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes and assess associated factors, evaluate determinants for frequency of healthcare contacts, and compare actual with historical data. METHOD This cross-sectional observational study collected data on 178 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes treated at the University Children's Hospital in Bern. RESULTS Mean HbA1c was 7.9% (63 mmol/mol), 33.1% (59/178) of children reached the target of HbA1c < 7.5% (<59 mmol/mol), and 18.0% (32/178) had an HbA1c value < 7.0% (<53 mmol/mol). Compared to historical data, stable HbA1c levels appeared with a doubled proportion of individuals using insulin pumps. Metabolic control was worse with a longer duration of diabetes and younger age at diagnosis but better when parents came from a Western European country. Age at the consultation, use of diabetes technology and native language influenced the number of healthcare contacts. Younger patients, patients using CSII, and patients without an official Swiss language as mother tongue had more consultations with a healthcare professional than older and native language individuals. CONCLUSION The metabolic targets in childhood and adolescent type 1 diabetes are still unmet despite a shift towards more technology. Our study documents a higher demand for support and supervision in specific patient groups. An investment to increase healthcare contacts could help combat the increase in total diabetes cost and significantly improve metabolic control.

The Association between Treatment Modality, Lipid Profile, Metabolic Control in Children with Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease-Data from the International Sweet Registry. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13124473. [PMID: 34960025 PMCID: PMC8707296 DOI: 10.3390/nu13124473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2021] [Revised: 12/01/2021] [Accepted: 12/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims: A higher frequency of dyslipidemia is reported in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and celiac disease (CD). Recently, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) has been associated with better lipid profiles in patients with T1D. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between treatment modality and lipid profile, metabolic control, and body mass index (BMI)-SDS in children with both T1D and CD. Methods: Cross-sectional study in children registered in the international SWEET database in November 2020. Inclusion criteria were children (2–18 years) with T1D and CD with available data on treatment modality (CSII and injections therapy, IT), triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, dyslipidemia, HbA1c, and BMI-SDS. Overweight/obesity was defined as > +1 BMI-SDS for age. Data were analyzed by linear and logistical regression models with adjustment for age, gender, and diabetes duration. Results: In total 1009 children with T1D and CD (female 54%, CSII 54%, age 13.9 years ±3.6, diabetes duration 7.2 years ±4.1, HbA1c 7.9% ±1.4) were included. Significant differences between children treated with CSII vs. IT were respectively found; HDL 60.0 mg/dL vs. 57.8 mg/dL, LDL 89.4 mg/dL vs. 94.2 mg/dL, HbA1c 7.7 vs. 8.1%, BMI-SDS 0.4 vs. 0.6, overweight and obesity 17% vs. 26% (all p < 0.05). Conclusions: CSII is associated with higher HDL and lower LDL, HbA1c, BMI-SDS, and percentage of overweight and obesity compared with IT in this study. Further prospective studies are required to determine whether CSII improves lipid profile, metabolic control and normalize body weight in children with both T1D and CD.

Abstract
Background: Is insulin initiation linked to increasing body mass index (BMI) in all patients with type-2-diabetes (T2D)? To determine distinct longitudinal patterns of BMI change over time. Materials and Methods: 5057 patients with T2D (55% males, median BMI [IQR]: 30.0 [26.9-33.3] kg/m2) aged ≥40 years at diabetes diagnosis and with ≥2 years of follow-up after insulin initiation irrespective of previous or concurrent use of metformin/dipeptidyl peptidase-4-inhibitor from the multicenter prospective diabetes registry DPV were studied. To identify subgroups following a similar pattern of BMI change after insulin initiation, longitudinal group-based trajectory modeling was applied. Multinomial logistic regression was then used to analyze covariates associated with group membership. Results: Three heterogeneous groups with either relevant BMI increase (delta-BMI: +4.0 kg/m2 after 2 years; 12% of patients); slight BMI increase (+0.4 kg/m2; 80%); or BMI decrease (-3.2 kg/m2; 8%) were identified. Patients with older age [OR (95% CI): 1.37 (1.11-1.69)] and obesity [2.05 (1.65-2.55)] before insulin start were more often in the BMI decreasing group, and less often in the BMI increasing class [0.80 (0.67-0.95); 0.82 (0.69-0.98)]. A worse HbA1c both at insulin start and during follow-up [1.90 (1.60-2.26); 1.17 (1.07-1.27)], a higher insulin dose [1.67 (1.33-2.10)], and severe hypoglycemic events [2.38 (1.60-3.53)] after insulin initiation were all linked with higher odds of belonging to the BMI increasing trajectory. Conclusions: Patient heterogeneity with respect to weight gain after initiation of insulin therapy in adult T2D was detected by an objective computer algorithm. Older people with obesity should not defer from insulin use due to fear of weight gain.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a known risk factor for fractures, but the underlying pathophysiology is still not fully understood. This study aims to define age peaks and frequent fracture sites of children and young adults with T1D. Additionally, associations of fractures with metabolic and lifestyle factors as well as with additional complications in individuals with T1D were analyzed. A total of 750 individuals with T1D aged ≤25 years with fractures were matched to 3750 patients with T1D without fractures by demographics and insulin regimen. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values were compared using linear regression, and logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (OR) for fractures in individuals with acute complications and diseases. Median (Q1-Q3) age was 12.7 (9.9 to 14.9) years in individuals with fractures and 16.3 (12.6 to 17.8) years in the entire control group with 65% versus 53% males. Peak age for fractures was 7 to <15 years in males and 9 to <11 years in females, which is earlier than reported for the general population. HbA1c (%) was significantly higher in individuals with fractures than in controls (difference of estimated means: 0.26%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.07-0.46), especially in postpubertal females (0.68; 0.10-1.26). Significantly higher odds for fractures were observed in individuals with severe hypoglycemia (OR = 1.90; 95% CI 1.47-2.47), especially in prepubertal females (OR = 2.81; 1.21-6.52]) and postpubertal males (2.44; 1.11-5.38), celiac disease (2.02; 1.67-2.45), and with a history of smoking (1.38; 1.02-1.88). The age peak of fractures seems to be earlier in T1D than in the general population. Poor glycemic control is related to fractures, even before puberty. Associations of HbA1c and severe hypoglycemia with fractures highly depend on age and sex. © 2021 The Authors.

Association of the use of diabetes technology with HbA1c and BMI-SDS in an international cohort of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes: The SWEET project experience. Pediatr Diabetes 2021; 22:1120-1128. [PMID: 34716736 DOI: 10.1111/pedi.13274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2021] [Revised: 08/18/2021] [Accepted: 08/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the association between the use of diabetes technology (insulin pump [CSII], glucose sensor [CGM] or both) and metabolic control (HbA1c) as well as body adiposity (BMI-SDS) over-time in a cohort of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D), that have never used these technologies before. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Four thousand six hundred forty three T1D patients (2-18 years, T1D ≥1 year, without celiac disease, no CSII and/or CGM before 2016) participating in the SWEET prospective multicenter diabetes registry, were enrolled. Data were collected at two points (2016; 2019). Metabolic control was assessed by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and body adiposity by BMI-SDS (WHO). Patients were categorized by treatment modality (multiple daily injections [MDI] or CSII) and the use or not of CGM. Linear regression models, adjusted for age, gender, duration of diabetes and region, were applied to assess differences in HbA1c and BMI-SDS among patient groups. RESULTS The proportion of patients using MDI with CGM and CSII with CGM significantly increased from 2016 to 2019 (7.2%-25.7%, 7.8%-27.8% respectively; p < 0.001). Linear regression models showed a significantly lower HbA1c in groups that switched from MDI to CSII with or without CGM (p < 0.001), but a higher BMI-SDS (from MDI without CGM to CSII with CGM p < 0.05; from MDI without CGM to CSII without CGM p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Switching from MDI to CSII is significantly associated with improvement in glycemic control but increased BMI-SDS over-time. Diabetes technology may improve glucose control in youths with T1D although further strategies to prevent excess fat accumulation are needed.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungDie interdisziplinäre Forschungskooperation COACH-Konsortium (Chronic Conditions in Adolescents – Implementation and Evaluation of Patient-centered Collaborative Healthcare) untersucht die psychosoziale Situation von Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen mit chronischen körperlichen Erkrankungen. Zur Untersuchung der psychischen Komorbidität wurden bisher 1.023 Patienten mit Diabetes mellitus Typ 1 im Alter von 12–21 Jahren bei Routinevorstellungen in der Klinik bzw. Ambulanz mittels der Screening-Fragebogen Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) und Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7) zu Angst- und Depressionssymptomen befragt. 29,8 % der Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen zeigten ein auffälliges Screening-Ergebnis. Dabei wurden 17,8 % der Fragebogen zu Angstsymptomen und 25,6 % der Fragebogen zu Depressionssymptomen auffällig mit Gesamtscore-Werten ≥ 7 in GAD-7 bzw. PHQ-9 beantwortet. Patienten mit erhöhten Depressions- und Angstwerten wiesen im Mittel einen deutlich höheren medianen HbA1c-Wert als Zeichen einer schlechteren Stoffwechseleinstellung auf (8,33 [8,09; 8,56]) als Patienten mit unauffälligem Screening (7,58 [7,48; 7,68]; p < 0,0001). Angesichts der hohen Prävalenz auffälliger Depressions- und Angstwerte und der Assoziation mit höheren HbA1c-Werten sollte bei allen Jugendlichen mit Diabetes mellitus Typ 1 regelmäßig das Vorliegen psychischer Belastungen abgeklärt werden. Dies könnte eine frühzeitige Diagnose einer psychischen Komorbidität und Intervention ermöglichen. Auf der Basis der Studien im COACH-Projekt können nun evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen für die interdisziplinäre Gesundheitsversorgung von Jugendlichen mit chronischen körperlichen Erkrankungen erstellt werden, die die psychischen Komorbiditäten systematisch berücksichtigen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite increasing use of technology in type 1 diabetes, persistent ethnic and socio-economic disparities have been reported. We analyzed how the use of insulin pump therapy and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) evolved over the years in Germany depending on demographics and area deprivation. METHOD We investigated the use of insulin pump and CGM between 2016 and 2019 in 37,798 patients with type 1 diabetes aged < 26 years from the German Prospective Follow-up Registry (DPV). Associations with federal state, area-deprivation quintile (German Index of Multiple Deprivation 2010 on district level), gender, and migration background were investigated over time using multiple logistic regression. RESULTS Between 2016 and 2019, the regional distribution of insulin pump use did not change substantially and the association with area deprivation remained non-linear and statistically non-significant. The effect of area deprivation on CGM use decreased continuously and disappeared in 2019 (OR [95%-CI] Q1 vs Q5: 1.85 [1.63-2.10] in 2016; 0.97 [0.88-1.08] in 2019). The effect of migration background on the use of either technology decreased over the years but remained significant in 2019. Girls had constantly higher odds of using an insulin pump than boys (OR: 1.25 [1.18-1.31] in 2019), whereas no gender difference was identified for CGM use. CONCLUSIONS Although disparities decreased in Germany, access to diabetes technology still depends on migration background in 2019, and gender differences in pump use persist. As technological advances are made, further research is needed to understand the reasons for these persistent disparities.

Abstract
PURPOSE This phase 1 study aimed to develop a Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) educational resource for adolescents (10-19 years) in China, and to test its validity for improving diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy and adherence. DESIGN AND METHODS This phase 1 study was carried out in four phases: preliminary development of the Type 1 diabetes educational resource in English based on the health belief model (HBM) and the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) Consensus Guidelines 2014; translation of the resource into Chinese; readability testing of the resource; and face and content validity testing for scientific and clinical accuracy. RESULTS Type 1 diabetes educational resource with 17 "topics" in four sections was developed for 10-19-years old adolescents in China. Cartoon story, images, stories, questions & answers, and quizzes were used to attract adolescents' interest. Furthermore, the educational resource was confirmed to be understandable among adolescents, clinically accurate, and consistent with its purpose. CONCLUSIONS This resource with good readability and content validity is a potential facilitator for diabetes education and self-management in adolescents with T1DM in China. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS This type 1 diabetes resource can be used to educate adolescents with T1DM as a validated resource after further testing in an effectiveness study.

Abstract
Diabetes is a common disease among pediatric populations in the United States and worldwide. The incidence of type 1 and type 2 diabetes is increasing, with disproportional increases in racial/ethnic subpopulations. As the prevalence of obesity continue to increase, type 2 diabetes now represents a major form of pediatric diabetes. The management of diabetes in youth centers on maintaining glycemic control to prevent acute and chronic complications. This article summarizes the epidemiology, etiology, management, and complications of type 1 and type 2 diabetes in youth, as well as future directions and opportunities.

Abstract
AIMS To examine the association of frozen shoulder (FS) with demographic and diabetes-related outcomes in individuals with type 1 (T1D) or type 2 (T2D) diabetes aged ≥30 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS Multivariable logistic regression models, adjusted for demographics were used to calculate the proportion of FS in association with age, gender, diabetes duration, body mass index (BMI), haemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) and diabetes treatment. RESULTS The unadjusted percentage of FS was higher in T1D compared to T2D (0.22% vs. 0.06%). In T1D, adjusted regression models revealed higher prevalence of FS in women than men (0.26 [0.20-0.34] % vs. 0.15 [0.11-0.21] %, p=0.010). No significant relationship of age and BMI with FS was found in both diabetes types. Longer diabetes duration was associated with a higher proportion of FS in T1D (p<0.001) and T2D (p=0.004). In T1D, HbA1c >7% was related to a higher proportion of FS compared to HbA1c ≤7% (0.25 [0.19-0.32] vs. 0.12 [0.08-0.20] %, p=0.007), while an inverse relationship was found in T2D (HbA1c ≤7%: 0.08 [0.07-0.10] vs. HbA1c >7%: 0.05 [0.04-0.06] %, p=0.001). CONCLUSIONS Different associations of FS with gender and HbA1c were observed for T1D and T2D; however, longer diabetes duration increases the risk for FS independent of diabetes type. Musculoskeletal diseases are still underreported in individuals with diabetes and awareness should be raised for FS as a specific diabetes complication.

Abstract
CONTEXT Autoimmune diseases affect ~8% of the population. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is linked to other autoimmune diseases (AIDs), such as autoimmune thyroid disease or Addison's disease (AD), that may impact diabetes therapy and outcome. OBJECTIVE To analyze demographic and clinical characteristics of other AIDs in T1DM from a large standardized registry, the Prospective Diabetes Follow-up Registry (DPV). METHODS We searched the registry for T1DM with the additional diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), Graves' disease (GD), and/or AD. T1DM with other AIDs (n = 6166, 5.4%) were compared with isolated T1DM (n = 107 457). For group comparisons, we used multivariable regression models with age, sex, diabetes duration, migration background, and type of insulin regimen as basic adjustments (microvascular endpoints: additionally adjusted for glycated hemoglobin). RESULTS Patients with additional AIDs were more often female (54.7 vs 32.0%, P < .001) and had a longer diabetes duration (7.9 [4.2-12.5] vs 6.7 [2.7-12.9] years, P < .001). After adjustment, daily insulin dosage was higher in AD and HT than in isolated T1DM (0.858 ± 0.032 and 0.813 ± 0.005 vs 0.793 ± 0.001 IU/kg per day). Retinopathy was less common in HT (1.5%), whereas it was more frequent in GD (3.1%) than in isolated T1DM (1.8%). In both GD and HT, microalbuminuria occurred less often (10.6% and 14.3% vs 15.5%) and neuropathy (2.1% and 1.8% vs 0.8%) was more common than in isolated T1DM. All P < .05. CONCLUSION T1DM with additional AIDs show heterogeneous differences compared with isolated T1DM. T1DM plus AD or HT requires more insulin. Further, the rate of neuropathy is higher in HT or GD, whereas the rate of microalbuminuria is lower.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this multicenter cross-sectional study was to determine predictors of poor glycaemic control in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), particularly with respect to socioeconomic status (SES). METHODS Our study population consisted of 1154 children who attended T1DM follow-up consultation with a pediatric diabetes specialist. Clinical and demographic data were retrieved retrospectively from patients' records. Individual deprivation was defined by an EPICES (Evaluation of the Deprivation and Inequalities of Health in Healthcare Centers) score ≥ 30. Patients were assigned to quintiles of the European Deprivation Index (EDI) based on their area deprivation scores. We used multivariable linear regression models to detect potential associations between glycaemic control and indicators of low SES. RESULTS In total, 33% (n = 376) of patients had an EPICES score ≥ 30 and 23% (n = 268) were in the 5th EDI quintile. Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that poor glycaemic control was associated with both individual (β 0.38; 95%CI 0.26-0.5; p < 0.001) and area deprivation (β 0.26; 95%CI 0.08-0.43; p = 0.004). Demographic factors, body mass index (BMI) and insulin regimen were also independently associated with poor glycaemic control (p < 0.001). Interestingly, access to diabetes technologies was not related to SES or either glycaemic control. CONCLUSION Low SES is associated with a higher risk of poor glycaemic control, independently of insulin regimen. BMI, age at the time of consultation, duration of diabetes, and insulin regimen. Also have an impact on HbA1c. These parameters need to be considered when developing novel treatment strategies for children with T1DM to better target at-risk patients.

Objective: To characterize patients with diabetes treated with a tubeless insulin pump (Omnipod® Insulin Management System; Insulet Corp., Acton, MA), and to evaluate the frequency of acute complications with long-term use of the system. Methods: This retrospective analysis of the German/Austrian Diabetes Patienten Verlaufsdokumentation (DPV) registry included data from 3657 patients with diabetes (n = 3582 type 1, n = 25 type 2, n = 50 latent autoimmune diabetes in adults/other) treated with a tubeless insulin pump. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and frequency of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and severe hypoglycemia (SH) were compared between 1 year pre- and 1 year (n = 2911) or up to 3 years (n = 1311) post-tubeless insulin pump initiation and compared with a contemporary cohort on multiple daily injections (MDI) with 3-year data (n = 1874). Results: Patients using tubeless insulin pump therapy had a median age of 13.7 years [interquartile range 10.8, 17.3], diabetes duration 3.7 years [1.7, 8.0], and HbA1c 7.5% [6.9, 8.2]. In patients with 3 years of follow-up data (n = 1311), the percentage with ≥1 episode of DKA, SH (Level 3, requiring assistance), and SH (coma) event with prior treatment was 6.3%, 5.5%, and 1.7%, respectively. After 3 years of tubeless insulin pump therapy, the frequency of DKA, SH (Level 3), and SH (coma) decreased to 2.2%, 4.1%, and 0.5%, respectively. Both DKA and SH remained significantly lower compared with MDI after adjustment in multiple regression analysis. High treatment retention rates (>90%) were observed. Conclusion: Real-world registry data document that tubeless insulin pump therapy is associated with good glycemic control and a low frequency of DKA and SH in an age group prone to acute complications.

Abstract
Objective: Achieving good metabolic control in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) remains a challenge, despite the evolutions in diabetes technologies over the past decade. Here we investigate the evolution of metabolic control in people with T1D, where care is provided by specialized centers with access to technology, diabetes education, and regular follow-up. Methods: Data were cross-sectionally collected between 2010 and 2018 from more than 100 centers in Belgium. The evolutions over time of hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were investigated, together with the evolutions of use of insulin pump (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion [CSII]), continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and lipid-lowering and antihypertensive drugs. Association of HbA1c with gender, age, diabetes duration, and technology use was analyzed on the most recent cohort. Results: The study population contained data from 89,834 people with T1D (age 1-80 years). Mean HbA1c decreased from 65 mmol/mol (8.1%) in 2010-2011 to 61 mmol/mol (7.7%) in 2017-2018 (P < 0.0001, adjusted for gender, age, diabetes duration, and technology use). Respectively, mean LDL cholesterol decreased from 2.45 mmol/L (94.6 mg/dL) to 2.29 mmol/L (88.5 mg/dL) (P < 0.0001, adjusted for gender, age, and diabetes duration), and mean SBP remained stable. CGM usage increased, whereas the use of CSII and lipid-lowering and antihypertensive drugs remained stable. Gender, age, diabetes duration, and technology use were independently associated with HbA1c. Conclusions: Our real-world data show that metabolic and lipid control improved over time in a system where T1D care is organized through specialized multidisciplinary centers with emphasis on linking education to provision of technology, and its quality is monitored.
