Suicidal Ideation, Suicide Attempts, and Suicide Deaths in Adolescents and Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Diabetes Care 2024; 47:1227-1237. [PMID: 38900947 DOI: 10.2337/dc24-0411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence is lacking on the risk of suicide-related behaviors (suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, suicide death) in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). PURPOSE We aimed to 1) determine the prevalence of suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and suicide deaths in adolescents and young adults (AYA) with T1D aged 10-24 years; 2) compare suicide-related behavior prevalence in youth with and without T1D; and 3) identify factors associated with suicide-related behaviors. DATA SOURCES A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, and PsycInfo up to 3 September 2023. STUDY SELECTION We included observational studies where investigators reported the prevalence of suicide-related behaviors among AYA aged 10-24 years with T1D. DATA EXTRACTION We collected data on study characteristics, data on prevalence of suicide-related behaviors, and data on associated factors. DATA SYNTHESIS We included 31 studies. In AYA with versus without T1D, pooled prevalence of suicidal ideation was 15.4% (95% CI 10.0-21.7; n = 18 studies) vs. 11.5% (0.4-33.3; n = 4), respectively, and suicide attempts 3.5% (1.3-6.7; n = 8) vs. 2.0% (0.0-6.4; n = 5). Prevalence of suicide deaths ranged from 0.04% to 4.4% among youth with T1D. Difficulties with T1D self-management were frequently reported to be associated with higher rates of suicide-related behaviors. However, findings on the association of glycemic levels and suicide-related behaviors were inconsistent. LIMITATIONS There was a considerable level of heterogeneity in meta-analysis of both suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. CONCLUSIONS Suicidal ideation and suicide attempts are prevalent in AYA with T1D. Current evidence does not suggest that these rates are higher among AYA with T1D than rates among those without.

Risk of Depression according to Cumulative Exposure to a Low-Household Income Status in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Nationwide Population- Based Study. Diabetes Metab J 2024; 48:290-301. [PMID: 38171143 PMCID: PMC10995483 DOI: 10.4093/dmj.2022.0299] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGRUOUND We aimed to identify the risk of incident depression according to cumulative exposure to a low-household income status in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS For this retrospective longitudinal population-based cohort study, we used Korean National Health Insurance Service data from 2002 to 2018. Risk of depression was assessed according to cumulative exposure to low-household income status (defined as Medical Aid registration) during the previous 5 years among adults (aged ≥20 years) with T2DM and without baseline depression who underwent health examinations from 2009 to 2012 (n=2,027,317). RESULTS During an average 6.23 years of follow-up, 401,175 incident depression cases occurred. Advance in cumulative number of years registered for medical aid during the previous 5 years from baseline was associated with an increased risk of depression in a dose-dependent manner (hazard ratio [HR], 1.44 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.38 to 1.50]; HR, 1.40 [95% CI, 1.35 to 1.46]; HR, 1.42, [95% CI, 1.37 to 1.48]; HR, 1.46, [95% CI, 1.40 to 1.53]; HR, 1.69, [95% CI, 1.63 to 1.74] in groups with 1 to 5 exposed years, respectively). Insulin users exposed for 5 years to a low-household income state had the highest risk of depression among groups categorized by insulin use and duration of low-household income status. CONCLUSION Cumulative duration of low-household income status, defined as medical aid registration, was associated with an increased risk of depression in a dose-response manner in individuals with T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The daily demands of type 1 diabetes management may jeopardize adolescents' mental health. We aimed to assess anxiety and depression symptoms by broad-scale, tablet-based outpatient screening in adolescents with type 1 diabetes in Germany. METHODS Adolescent patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (n = 2,394; mean age 15.4 y [SD 2.0]; 50.7% male) were screened for anxiety (GAD-7) and depression symptoms (PHQ-9) by self-report questionnaires and linked to clinical data from the DPV patient registry. Logistic regression was used to estimate the contribution of clinical parameters to positive screening results. RESULTS Altogether, 30.2% showed a positive screening (score ≥ 7 in either test), and 11.3% reported suicidal ideations or self-harm. Patients with anxiety and depression symptoms were older (15.7 y [CI 15.5-15.8] vs. 15.3 y [CI 15.2-15.4]; p < 0.0001), had higher HbA1c levels (7.9% [CI 7.8-8.0] (63 mmol/mol) vs. 7.5% [CI 7.4-7.5] (58 mmol/mol); p < 0.0001), and had higher hospitalization rates. Females (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.66 [CI 2.21-3.19]; p < 0.0001), patients > 15 years (aOR 1.40 [1.16-1.68]; p < 0.001), who were overweight (aOR 1.40 [CI 1.14-1.71]; p = 0.001), with HbA1c > 9% (> 75 mmol/mol; aOR 2.58 [1.83-3.64]; each p < 0.0001), with a migration background (aOR 1.46 [CI 1.17-1.81]; p < 0.001), or smoking (aOR 2.72 [CI 1.41-5.23]; p = 0.003) had a higher risk. Regular exercise was a significant protective factor (aOR 0.65 [CI 0.51-0.82]; p < 0.001). Advanced diabetes technologies did not influence screening outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Electronic mental health screening was implemented in 42 centers in parallel, and outcomes showed an association with clinical parameters from sociodemographic, lifestyle, and diabetes-related data. It should be integrated into holistic patient counseling, enabling early recognition of mild mental health symptoms for preventive measures. Females were disproportionally adversely affected. The use of advanced diabetes technologies did not yet reduce the odds of anxiety and depression symptoms in this cross-sectional assessment.

Abstract
Background Research focused on disparities related to mental health comorbidities, especially among emerging adults with diabetes, is limited. Identifying associated factors of disparities could inform policy decisions to make diabetes-related interdisciplinary care more accessible for vulnerable groups. Method Using data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2015-2019), we examined disparities in presence of major depressive episode (MDE) and suicidal ideation among emerging adults with diabetes. Survey design-adjusted bivariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used for statistical analyses. Results The study included 1,125 emerging adults (18-25 years old), with a history of type 1 diabetes (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D). After controlling for sociodemographic and health-related characteristics, we found lower odds of having past-year major MDE for non-Hispanic Black (AOR, 0.42, p=0.032) compared to their non-Hispanic White counterparts. Females were 3.02 times more likely to have past-year MDE than males (AOR, 3.02, p=0.004). The odds of having past-year MDE were 1.96 times higher among individuals who identified as LGB (lesbian, gay, bisexual) (AOR, 1.96, P=0.038). There were no statistically significant disparities in suicidal ideation related to race/ethnicity, sex, education, and family income. However, individuals who identified as LGB had significantly higher likelihood of suicidal ideation than their heterosexual counterparts (AOR, 2.47, P=0.004). Conclusion Significant disparities related to MDE and suicidal ideation exist based on race/ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation. Integration of a mental health professional into the multidisciplinary diabetes care team is critical for effective management of comorbid mental health conditions in younger patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) from diverse and marginalized backgrounds with type 1 diabetes (T1D) generally have higher hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and less frequent continuous glucose monitor (CGM) use than AYA from more privileged backgrounds. Further, scant data address the impact of virtual peer groups (VPG) on health-related outcomes for ethnically and racially diverse AYA with T1D. Methods: CoYoT1 to California was a 15-month randomized controlled trial for AYA aged 16-25 years. In this study, AYA were randomized to receive standard care (n = 28), or CoYoT1 care (n = 40), which consisted of person-centered provider visits and bimonthly VPG. VPG were AYA-driven discussions. AYA completed the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D), and Diabetes Empowerment Scale-Short Form (DES-SF) scales at baseline and all study visits. Results: Participants were 50% Latinx and 75% publicly insured. Among CoYoT1 care participants, 19 attended at least 1 VPG session (VPG attendees) and 21 did not attend any VPG sessions. VPG attendees participated in 4.1 VPG sessions on average. VPG attendees had a relative reduction in HbA1C (treatment effect -1.08%, effect sizes values [ES] = -0.49, P = 0.04) and increase in CGM use (treatment effect +47%, ES = 1.00, P = 0.02) compared to standard care. VPG participation was not associated with statistically significant changes in DDS, CES-D, and DES-SF scores. Conclusions: In a 15-month randomized controlled trial, AYA with T1D who participated in VPG reported significant improvements in HbA1c and CGM use. Peer interactions may support unmet needs of AYA with T1D from diverse and marginalized backgrounds. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03793673.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Characterize the prevalence of chronic physical illness types and mental illness and their comorbidity among adolescents and young adults (AYA) and assess the association of comorbidity on hospital utilization. METHODS This study features a population-level sample of 61 339 insurance-eligible AYA with an analytic sample of 49 089 AYA (aged 12-21) in Vermont's 2018 all-payer database. We used multiple logistic regressions to examine the associations between physical illness types and comorbid mental illness and emergency department (ED) use and inpatient hospitalization. RESULTS The analytic sample was 50% female, 63% Medicaid, and 43% had ≥1 chronic illness. Mental illness was common (31%) and highly comorbid with multiple physical illnesses. Among AYA with pulmonary illness, those with comorbid mental illness had 1.74-times greater odds (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.49-2.05, P ≤.0005) of ED use and 2.9-times greater odds (95% CI: 2.05-4.00, P ≤.0005) of hospitalization than those without mental illness. Similarly, comorbid endocrine and mental illness had 1.84-times greater odds of ED use (95% CI: 1.39-2.44, P ≤.0005) and 2.1-times greater odds of hospitalization (95% CI: 1.28-3.46, P = .003), comorbid neurologic and mental illness had 1.36-times greater odds of ED use (95% CI: 1.18-1.56, P ≤.0005) and 2.4-times greater odds of hospitalization (95% CI: 1.73-3.29, P ≤.0005), and comorbid musculoskeletal and mental illness had 1.38-times greater odds of ED use (95% CI: 1.02-1.86, P = .04) and 2.1-times greater odds of hospitalization (95% CI: 1.20-3.52, P = .01). CONCLUSIONS Comorbid physical and mental illness was common. Having a comorbid mental illness was associated with greater ED and inpatient hospital utilization across multiple physical illness types.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Differentiating between type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) can be difficult in adults. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of diagnostic reclassification from T2D to T1D, the characteristics of the patients and the impact on the management of the disease. METHODS Observational and descriptive study including patients diagnosed with T1D in Asturias (Spain) between 2011 and 2020 who had been considered as T2D for at least 12 months. RESULTS A total of 205 patients were included, representing 45.3% of those diagnosed with T1D over 30 years of age. Median time of evolution as T2D was 7,8 years. The age was 59.1 ± 12.9 years. BMI was > 25 kg/m2 in 46.8% of patients. HbA1c was 9.1 ± 2.1%, 77 ± 22 mmol/mol, and 56.5% were using insulin. Pancreatic antibodies were present in 95.5%, the most frequent being GAD, 82.6%. At 6 months, basal insulin use increased from 46.9 to 86.3%, and HbA1c decreased, 9.2 ± 2.0%vs7.7 ± 1.2%, 77 ± 22vs60 ± 13 mmol/mol; p < 0.0001. CONCLUSIONS Diagnosis as T2D in patients with T1D in adults is common. Age, BMI, insulin use and other clinical features are not definitely discriminatory. GAD is the antibody of choice in case of diagnostic suspect. Reclassification has important implications for metabolic control.

Sachar A, Breslin N, Ng SM. An integrated care model for mental health in diabetes: Recommendations for local implementation by the Diabetes and Mental Health Expert Working Group in England. Diabet Med 2023; 40:e15029. [PMID: 36537609 DOI: 10.1111/dme.15029] [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: 06/01/2022] [Revised: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT In 2019, NHS England and Diabetes UK convened an Expert Working Group (EWG) in order to develop a Model and recommendations to guide commissioning and provision of mental health care in diabetes pathways and diabetes care in mental health pathways. The recommendations are based on a combination of evidence, national guidance, case studies and expert opinion from across the UK and form other long term conditions. THE CASE FOR INTEGRATION There is good the evidence around the high prevalence of co-morbidity between diabetes and mental illness of all severities and, the poorer diabetes and mental health outcomes for patients when this co-morbidity exists. Detecting and managing the mental health co-morbidity improves these outcomes, but the evidence suggests that detection of mental illness is poor in the context of diabetes care in community and acute care settings and that when it is detected, the access to appropriate mental health resource is variable and generally inadequate. THE MODEL OF INTEGRATED CARE FOR DIABETES The EWG developed a one-page Model with five core principles and five operational work-streams to support the delivery of integration, with examples of local case studies for local implementation. The five core principals are: Care for all-describing how care for all PWD needs to explore what matters to them and that emotional wellbeing is supported at diagnosis and beyond; Support and information-describing how HCPs should appropriately signpost to mental health support and the need for structured education programmes to include mental healthcare information; Needs identified-describing how PWD should have their mental health needs identified and acted on; Integrated care-describing how people with mental illness and diabetes should have their diabetes considered within their mental health care; Specialist care-describing how PWD should be able to access specialist diabetes mental health professionals. The five cross cutting work-streams for operationalising the principles are: Implementing training and upskilling of HCPs; Embedding mental health screening and assessment into diabetes pathways; Ensuring access to clear, integrated local pathways; Ensuring addressing health inequalities is incorporated at every stage of service development; Improving access to specialist mental health services through commissioning. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS The Model can be implemented in part or completely, at an individual level, all the way up to system level. It can be adapted across the life span and the UK, and having learnt from other long term conditions, there is a lot of transferability across all long term conditions There is an opportunity for ICBs to consider economies of scale across multiple long term conditions for which there will be a significant overlap of patients within the local population. Any local implementation should be in co-production with experts by experience and third sector providers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE People with diabetes have a higher risk of suicidal behaviors than the general population. However, few studies have focused on understanding this relationship. We investigated risk factors and predicted suicide attempts in people with diabetes using the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression. METHOD Data was retrieved from Cerner Real-World Data™ and included over 3 million diabetes patients in the study. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression was applied to identify associated factors. Gender-, diabetes-type-, and depression-specific LASSO regression models were analyzed. RESULTS There were 7764 subjects diagnosed with suicide attempts with an average age of 45. We found risk factors for suicide attempts in diabetes patients, such as being an American Indian or Alaska Native (β = 0.637), atypical agents (β = 0.704), benzodiazepines (β = 0.784), and antihistamines (β = 0.528). Amyotrophy had a negative coefficient for suicide attempts in males with diabetes (β = -2.025); in contrast, it had a positive coefficient in females with diabetes (β = 3.339). Using MAOI had a negative coefficient for suicide attempts in T1DM patients (β = -7.304). Aged less than 20 had a positive coefficient for suicide attempts in depressed (β = 2.093) and non-depressed patients with diabetes (β = 1.497). The LASSO model had 94.4% AUC and 87.4% F1 score. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first study using LASSO regression to identify risk factors for suicide attempts and diabetes. The shrinkage technique successfully reduced the number of variables in the model to improve overfitting. Further research is needed to study cause-and-effect relationships. The results may help providers identify high-risk groups of suicide attempters among diabetes patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate disease control, psychiatric comorbidity, substance use and their possible associations in adolescents with chronic medical conditions before transfer to adult healthcare. METHODS We collected clinical data from the year preceding transfer of care and psychiatric data from the records of the paediatric hospital in Helsinki, Finland (population base 1.7 million). Participants were grouped into three disease and/or adherence control categories (good, some evidence of concern, poor) based on clinical data from the medical records of the year preceding the transfer of care. Participants completed the Adolescent's Substance Use Measurement Questionnaire before transfer of care and were divided into four risk subgroups accordingly. RESULTS In total, 253 adolescents (mean age 17.3 years, SD 1.2) from six paediatric subspecialties participated in this study. Disease control and/or adherence were rated as good in 28% (n=70), moderate in 42% (n=105) and poor in 30% (n=76) in the year before participants transferred to adult health services. A quarter of participants had at least one psychiatric diagnosis during adolescence. Adolescents with concomitant psychiatric diagnoses more often had poor disease control of their chronic medical condition than adolescents with only a medical condition (44% vs 26%; n=25 of 59 vs 51 of 194, respectively). More than half of adolescents (56%) were abstinent or used substances infrequently; 10% (n=26) reported hazardous substance use. CONCLUSIONS Psychiatric comorbidity in adolescents with chronic medical conditions is common. Its negative association with disease control and possible substance use should be considered in the transition process to adult health services.

Abstract
Studies in different countries suggest that the rates of suicide ideation, attempts and death are increased in patients with diabetes in comparison to the general population. Suicidal behavior in patients with diabetes is a significant but underappreciated problem. Elevated suicide risk in individuals with diabetes may be related to comorbid psychiatric disorders, particularly depression. Considerable evidence suggests a bidirectional relationship between diabetes and depression: individuals with diabetes are at elevated risk of developing depression and patients with depression are more likely to develop diabetes. Frequent comorbidity of diabetes and depression may be related to psychosocial and neurobiological factors. Other comorbid psychiatric conditions including anxiety and alcohol use disorders may also increase suicide risk in diabetes. Primary care physicians are likely the key to suicide prevention efforts in individuals with diabetes since they see almost half of individuals who die by suicide within 1 month of their suicide. The management of potentially suicidal patients with diabetes in primary care comprises six major components: management of diabetes and its complications, especially conditions associated with pain; diagnosis and treatment of comorbid psychiatric disorders; frequent assessment of suicide risk; restricting access to the means of suicide; specific treatments to reduce the predisposition to attempt suicide; and referral to psychiatric care. Suicide prevention in individuals with diabetes and other medical disorders is a difficult but critically important task.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether protective psychological factors in young adults with type 1 diabetes are associated with more optimal self-care behaviors and HbA1c, and to explore possible mediators between protective psychological factors and HbA1c. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This cross-sectional study examined the associations between protective psychological factors (optimism, positive efficacy expectancies, and self-compassion), maladaptive psychological factors (depression, anxiety, and stress), self-care behaviors, and HbA1c in 113 young adults (17-25 years) with type 1 diabetes in Auckland, New Zealand. Pearson's correlations, multiple linear regressions, and multiple mediation analyses were used to examine associations and mediators. RESULTS Higher positive efficacy expectancies (beliefs about coping with difficulties) were associated with more optimal HbA1c (β = -0.26, 95% CI: -1.99 to -0.45) and more optimal self-care behaviors (β = 0.33, 95% CI: 0.28 to 0.92) in the adjusted models. Higher levels of self-compassion were associated with more optimal self-care behaviors (β = 0.27, 95% CI: 0.09 to 0.43). Depression was associated with less optimal self-care behaviors (β = -0.35, 95% CI: -1.33 to -0.43) and stress was associated with less optimal HbA1c (β = 0.26, 95% CI: 0.27 to 1.21). Mediation results suggested that self-care behaviors mediated the relationship between all three of the protective psychological factors and more optimal HbA1c, and that lower stress also mediated the relationship between higher self-compassion and more optimal HbA1c. CONCLUSIONS This study adds to the emerging literature that protective psychological factors may play an adaptive role in improving health outcomes in young adults with type 1 diabetes. Interventions targeting protective psychological factors present a promising approach to optimizing wellbeing and self-care in youth with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The need to better prepare youth with type 1 diabetes for the transition from paediatric to adult care is evident. As part of a regional quality improvement initiative, a novel Pre-Transition (Pre-T) Visit was developed and piloted at a paediatric tertiary care centre in January 2018 for patients aged 15-18 years to capture the status of their self-management skills, introduce transition tools and identify self-care goals and knowledge gaps to be addressed prior to transition. PURPOSE To evaluate patient and family satisfaction, visit relevance and patient engagement with a novel Pre-T Visit. METHODS From May 2019 to March 2020 a survey was offered to all youth who attended a Pre-T Visit and their parent(s)/caregiver(s). Patient and family satisfaction with, relevance of and engagement with the Pre-T Visit were evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale. Multivariable regression was used to assess patient factors associated with patient level satisfaction. RESULTS Of the 63 youth who participated in a Pre-T Visit, 60 completed the survey. Mean age (SD) of participants was 16.7 (0.8) years; 47% were female. Mean (SD) haemoglobin A1C (A1C) was 8.2% (1.8). Patients reported high levels of satisfaction (95% quite or extremely satisfied) that were consistent across age, A1C, gender and disease duration. Visit relevance and engagement were also rated highly by youth. Parent participants (n=27) also reported high levels of satisfaction (89% quite or extremely satisfied) and relevance. CONCLUSIONS Pre-T Visits were rated highly by patients and their parents. Their impact on glycaemic control and health outcomes following transition requires further study.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The manuscript reviews the extant literature on suicide-related thoughts and behaviors among youth and young adults with pediatric diabetes. This evidence is presented within the context of current theories of the etiology of suicidal behavior to highlight how diabetes may contribute to suicide risk, and to support providers in understanding the interplay between pediatric diabetes and suicide risk. The manuscript also reviews evidence-based approaches to suicide prevention suitable for use in pediatric healthcare settings, with suggestions for their application to this unique population. RECENT FINDINGS Several recent studies identify heightened rates of suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and suicide among youth and young adults with pediatric diabetes, as compared with their peers without diabetes. Evidence-based suicide prevention approaches frequently emphasize the importance of reducing suicidal youths' access to potentially lethal means for suicidal behavior. This approach may require special considerations for youth with pediatric diabetes, due to their need to carry sufficient quantities of insulin and the dangers of inaccurate insulin dosing and/or overdose. Suggestions for suicide prevention for this population include risk screening as part of routine diabetes care, early prevention, education for youth and families, and provider awareness of risk factors, warning signs, and implications for diabetes care. Youth and young adults with diabetes reported elevated rates of suicide-related behaviors as compared with their peers without diabetes. Existing suicide prevention approaches may require substantial adaptation for use with youth and young adults with diabetes. Further research is needed to examine how to best prevent suicidal behaviors among this population.

Abstract
Recent epidemiological data have shown that more than half of all new cases of type 1 diabetes occur in adults. Key genetic, immune, and metabolic differences exist between adult- and childhood-onset type 1 diabetes, many of which are not well understood. A substantial risk of misclassification of diabetes type can result. Notably, some adults with type 1 diabetes may not require insulin at diagnosis, their clinical disease can masquerade as type 2 diabetes, and the consequent misclassification may result in inappropriate treatment. In response to this important issue, JDRF convened a workshop of international experts in November 2019. Here, we summarize the current understanding and unanswered questions in the field based on those discussions, highlighting epidemiology and immunogenetic and metabolic characteristics of adult-onset type 1 diabetes as well as disease-associated comorbidities and psychosocial challenges. In adult-onset, as compared with childhood-onset, type 1 diabetes, HLA-associated risk is lower, with more protective genotypes and lower genetic risk scores; multiple diabetes-associated autoantibodies are decreased, though GADA remains dominant. Before diagnosis, those with autoantibodies progress more slowly, and at diagnosis, serum C-peptide is higher in adults than children, with ketoacidosis being less frequent. Tools to distinguish types of diabetes are discussed, including body phenotype, clinical course, family history, autoantibodies, comorbidities, and C-peptide. By providing this perspective, we aim to improve the management of adults presenting with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS During transition from paediatric to adult diabetes care, adolescents with diabetes are at increased risk of psychiatric disorders compared with those without diabetes. Prolonged gaps between the last paediatric and first adult diabetes care visit are associated with higher perceived stress and lower life satisfaction. We assessed the effect of a gap (>180 days) in establishing adult diabetes care on the risk of psychiatric disorders and determined other risk factors associated with psychiatric disorders during the transfer to adult care. METHODS Using provincial health administrative databases, we conducted a retrospective cohort study of individuals from Québec, Canada, diagnosed with diabetes between ages 1 and 15 years in 1997-2015. These individuals were followed from 6 months after their last paediatric visit until age 25 years. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazard models to determine the association of gap in care with psychiatric disorders risk. RESULTS Among 1772 youth with diabetes, 740 (42%) had a gap in care. There was a non-statistically significant association between gap in care and mood disorders diagnosed in the emergency department or hospital (hazard ratio [HR] 1.38, 95% confidence interval [CI]: [0.92, 2.07]). Older age at transfer, recent birth year and higher number of all-cause emergency department visits in the year before transfer increased the risks of psychiatric disorders. CONCLUSIONS Prolonged gaps in care during transfer to adult care are common and may be associated with increased psychiatric disorder risk. Developmental factors associated with adolescence and emerging adulthood may further amplify this risk.

CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 8:414. [PMID: 34069480 PMCID: PMC8159087 DOI: 10.3390/children8050414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2021] [Revised: 04/26/2021] [Accepted: 05/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Assessing mental health in children and adolescents with insulin-dependent diabetes (IDD) is an issue that is underperformed in clinical practice and outpatient clinics. The evaluation of their thoughts, emotions and behaviors has an important role in understanding the interaction between the individual and the disease, the factors that can influence this interaction, as well as the effective methods of intervention. The aim of this study is to identify psychopathology in adolescents with diabetes and the impact on treatment management. A total of 54 adolescents with IDD and 52 adolescents without diabetes, aged 12-18 years, completed APS-SF (Adolescent Psychopathology Scale-Short Form) for the evaluation of psychopathology and adjustment problems. There were no significant differences between adolescents with diabetes and control group regarding psychopathology. Between adolescents with good treatment adherence (HbA1c < 7.6) and those with low treatment adherence (HbA1c > 7.6), significant differences were found. In addition, results showed higher scores in girls compared with boys with IDD with regard to anxiety (GAD), Major Depression (DEP), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Eating Disturbance (EAT), Suicide (SUI) and Interpersonal Problems (IPP). No significant differences were found regarding the duration of the disease. Strategies such as maladaptive coping, passivity, distorted conception of the self and the surrounding world and using the negative problem-solving strategies of non-involvement and abandonment had positive correlation with poor glycemic control (bad management of the disease). The study highlighted the importance of promoting mental health in insulin-dependent diabetes management.

Cyber School Is a Marker of Youth with High-Risk Diabetes. J Pediatr 2021; 230:167-173. [PMID: 33127366 PMCID: PMC7914142 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpeds.2020.10.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2020] [Revised: 09/13/2020] [Accepted: 10/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the health characteristics of youth with diabetes in cyber school compared with peers with diabetes in traditional brick-and-mortar schools. STUDY DESIGN This was a single-center cross-sectional study of youth with type 1 or type 2 diabetes in K-12 education during academic year 2017-2018. Youth enrolled in cyber school were matched with traditional school peers by age, sex, race, diagnosis, and diabetes duration. Comparisons included insurance status, hemoglobin A1c, treatment, coexisting conditions, screening, and healthcare use. RESULTS Of 1694 participants, 5% (n = 87) were enrolled in cyber school. Youth enrolled in cyber school were predominantly white (89%), female (60%), adolescents (median 15.2 years) with type 1 diabetes (91%). Youth with type 2 diabetes were excluded from analyses owing to the small sample (n = 7). Public insurance was more common among youth enrolled in cyber school (P = .005). Youth in cyber school had higher mean hemoglobin A1c, 9.1 ± 1.8% (76 ± 20 mmol/mol) vs 8.3 ± 1.2% (67 ± 13 mmol/mol) (P = .003), lower insulin pump use (OR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.18-0.73), and more mental health conditions (OR, 4.48; 95% CI, 1.94-10.35) compared with peers in traditional schools. Youth in cyber school were less likely to have recommended vision (OR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.15-0.75) and dental (OR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.15-0.75) evaluations. The relationship between hemoglobin A1c and cyber school persisted after adjusting for insurance status, pump use, and mental health conditions (P = .02). Similar trends were observed for participants with type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Youth with diabetes in cyber school may be a high-risk population. Understanding the potential impact of cyber school-related factors on health may encourage additional provider/system/school supports for these patients.
