Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from a chronic autoimmune process that leads to β-cell destruction and exogenous insulin dependence. The natural history of T1D proposed by Eisenbarth suggested six relatively independent stages over the course of the entire disease process, which was considered to be linear and chronic. Based on this classical theory, immunotherapies aim to prevent or reverse all these periods of β-cell loss. Over the past 30 years, much novel information about the pathogenesis of T1D proved that there are complex metabolic changes occurring throughout the entire disease process. Therefore, new possible models for the natural history of the disease have been proposed; these models, in turn, may help facilitate fresh avenues for the prevention and cure of T1D. Herein, we briefly review recent findings in this field of research, with the aim of providing a better theoretical basis for clinical practice.

Kim JD, Kang SJ, Lee MK, Park SE, Rhee EJ, Park CY, Oh KW, Park SW, Lee WY. C-Peptide-Based Index Is More Related to Incident Type 2 Diabetes in Non-Diabetic Subjects than Insulin-Based Index. Endocrinol Metab (Seoul) 2016; 31:320-7. [PMID: 27349701 PMCID: PMC4923417 DOI: 10.3803/enm.2016.31.2.320] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2016] [Revised: 05/07/2016] [Accepted: 05/16/2016] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes can be efficiently prevented by life style modification and medical therapy. So, identification for high risk subjects for incident type 2 diabetes is important. The aim of this study is to identify the best β-cell function index to identify high risk subjects in non-diabetic Koreans. METHODS This is a retrospective longitudinal study. Total 140 non-diabetic subjects who underwent standard 2-hour 75 g oral glucose tolerance test from January 2007 to February 2007 at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital and followed up for more than 1 year were analyzed (mean follow-up, 54.9±16.4 months). The subjects were consist of subjects with normal glucose tolerance (n=44) and subjects with prediabetes (n=97) who were 20 years of age or older. Samples for insulin and C-peptide levels were obtained at 0 and 30 minutes at baseline. RESULTS Thirty subjects out of 140 subjects (21.4%) developed type 2 diabetes. When insulin-based index and C-peptide-based index are compared between progressor and non-progressor to diabetes, all C-peptide-based indices were statistically different between two groups, but only insulinogenic index and disposition index among insulin-based index were statistically different. C-peptide-based index had higher value of area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AROC) value than that of insulin-based index. "C-peptidogenic" index had highest AROC value among indices (AROC, 0.850; 95% confidence interval, 0.761 to 0.915). C-peptidogenic index had significantly higher AROC than insulinogenic index (0.850 vs. 0.731 respectively; P=0.014). CONCLUSION C-peptide-based index was more closely related to incident type 2 diabetes in non-diabetic subjects than insulin-based index.

Svensson MK, Tyrberg M, Nyström L, Arnqvist HJ, Bolinder J, Östman J, Gudbjörnsdottir S, Landin-Olsson M, Eriksson JW. The risk for diabetic nephropathy is low in young adults in a 17-year follow-up from the Diabetes Incidence Study in Sweden (DISS). Older age and higher BMI at diabetes onset can be important risk factors. Diabetes Metab Res Rev 2015; 31:138-46. [PMID: 25044633 DOI: 10.1002/dmrr.2574] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2014] [Accepted: 06/17/2014] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
AIMS The main objective of this study was to estimate the occurrence of diabetic nephropathy in a population-based cohort of patients diagnosed with diabetes as young adults (15-34 years). METHODS All 794 patients registered 1987-1988 in the Diabetes Incidence Study in Sweden (DISS) were invited to a follow-up study 15-19 years after diagnosis, and 468 (58%) participated. Analysis of islet antibodies was used to classify type of diabetes. RESULTS After median 17 years of diabetes, 15% of all patients, 14% T1DM and 25% T2DM, were diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy. Ninety-one percent had microalbuminuria and 8.6% macroalbuminuria. Older age at diagnosis (HR 1.05; 95% CI 1.01-1.10 per year) was an independent and a higher BMI at diabetes diagnosis (HR 1.04; 95% CI 1.00-1.09 per 1 kg/m²), a near-significant predictor of development of diabetic nephropathy. Age at onset of diabetes (p = 0.041), BMI (p = 0.012) and HbA1c (p < 0.001) were significant predictors of developing diabetic nephropathy between 9 and 17 years of diabetes. At 17 years of diabetes duration, a high HbA1c level (OR 1.06; 95% CI 1.03-1.08 per 1 mmol/mol increase) and systolic blood pressure (OR 1.08; 95% CI 1.05 1.12 per 1 mmHg increase) were associated with DN. CONCLUSIONS Patients with T2DM diagnosed as young adults seem to have an increased risk to develop diabetic nephropathy compared with those with T1DM. Older age and higher BMI at diagnosis of diabetes were risk markers for development of diabetic nephropathy. In addition, poor glycaemic control but not systolic blood pressure at 9 years of follow-up was a risk marker for later development of diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Our study compared total C-peptide secretion after administration of whey proteins and whey proteins in combination with glucose with results of classical tests assessing beta cell function in the pancreas of healthy individuals. Eight young, healthy (7 males, 1 female; aged 20-26 years), non-obese (BMI: 17-25.9 kg/m²) participants with normal glucose tolerance underwent six C-peptide secretion tests. Three secretion tests measured C-peptide response to orally administered substances: whey proteins only (OWT), whey proteins with glucose (OWGT) and glucose only (OGTT); while three secretion tests measured C-peptide response to intravenously administered substances: arginine (AST), glucagon (GST) and glucose (IVGTT). OWT stimulated a greater (93 %, p<0.05) C-peptide response than AST and a 64 % smaller response (p<0.05) than OGTT. OWT also showed lower variability (p<0.05) in C-peptide responses compared to OWGT and OGTT. The greatest total C-peptide response was induced by OWGT (36 % higher than glucose). OWT consistently increased C-peptide concentrations with lower individual variability, while insignificantly increasing glucose levels. Results of this study suggest that both dietology and beta-cells capacity testing could take advantage of the unique property of whey proteins to induce C-peptide secretion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate whether stimulated C-peptide is associated with microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in 192 type 2 diabetic patients. Plasma basal C-peptide and stimulated C-peptide were measured before and 6 minutes after intravenous injection of 1 mg glucagon. The relationship between C-peptide and microvascular complications was statistically analyzed. RESULTS In patients with retinopathy, basal C-peptide was 1.9±1.2 ng/mL, and stimulated C-peptide was 2.7±1.6 ng/mL; values were significantly lower compared with patients without retinopathy (P=0.031 and P=0.002, respectively). In patients with nephropathy, basal C-peptide was 1.6±0.9 ng/mL, and stimulated C-peptide was 2.8±1.6 ng/mL; values were significantly lower than those recorded in patients without nephropathy (P=0.020 and P=0.026, respectively). Stimulated C-peptide level was associated with increased prevalence of microvascular complications. Age-, DM duration-, and hemoglobin A1c-adjusted odds ratios for retinopathy in stimulated C-peptide value were 4.18 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.40 to 12.51) and 3.35 (95% CI, 1.09 to 10.25), respectively. The multiple regression analysis between nephropathy and C-peptide showed that stimulated C-peptide was statistically correlated with nephropathy (P=0.03). CONCLUSION In patients with type 2 diabetes, the glucagon stimulation test was a relatively simple method of short duration for stimulating C-peptide response. Stimulated C-peptide values were associated with microvascular complications to a greater extent than basal C-peptides.

Abstract
Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are considered to be associated with different degrees of progressive beta cell damage. However, few long-term studies have been made. Our aim was to study the clinical course of 20 years of diabetes disease, including diabetes progression, comorbidity, and mortality in a prospectively studied cohort of consecutively diagnosed diabetic patients. Among all 233 patients diagnosed with diabetes during 1985-1987 in Malmö, Sweden, 50 of 118 surviving patients were followed-up after 20 years. The age at diagnose was 42.3 ± 23.1 and 57.5 ± 13.6 years for antibody-positive and antibody-negative patients, respectively. HbA1c and plasma lipids were analyzed with regard to metabolic control. Islet antibody-negative patients at diagnosis had highly preserved C-peptide levels after 20 years in contrast to antibody-positive patients (antibody negative: C-peptide 0 years 0.78 ± 0.47 and 20 years 0.70 ± 0.46 (nmol/l), P = 0.51 and antibody positive: C-peptide 0 years 0.33 ± 0.35 and 20 years 0.10 ± 0.18; P < 0.001. Islet antibodies but not age, BMI, or C-peptide at diagnosis were predictors of C-peptide levels at 20 years when analyzed by logistic regression (P < 0.05). HbA1c did not differ between the groups after 20 years. The 20-year mortality was higher among antibody-negative patients, dependent on the higher age at diagnosis in this group (number of deaths: antibody positive: 18 of 56 vs. antibody negative: 109 of 188, P < 0.001). Of the deceased, 79% had died from diseases or complications that may be associated with diabetes. We found no progressive beta cell damage in autoantibody-negative diabetes at a 20-year follow-up of the clinical course of diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The aim of the study was to investigate the use of hyperglycaemic clamp tests to identify individuals who will develop diabetes among insulinoma-associated protein-2 antibody (IA-2A)-positive first-degree relatives (IA-2A(+) FDRs) of type 1 diabetic patients. METHODS Hyperglycaemic clamps were performed in 17 non-diabetic IA-2A(+) FDRs aged 14 to 33 years and in 21 matched healthy volunteers (HVs). Insulin and C-peptide responses were measured during the first (5-10 min) and second (120-150 min) release phase, and after glucagon injection (150-160 min). Clamp-induced C-peptide release was compared with C-peptide release during OGTT. RESULTS Seven (41%) FDRs developed diabetes 3-63 months after their initial clamp test. In all phases they had lower C-peptide responses than non-progressors (p < 0.05) and HVs (p < 0.002). All five FDRs with low first-phase release also had low second-phase release and developed diabetes 3-21 months later. Two of seven FDRs with normal first-phase but low second-phase release developed diabetes after 34 and 63 months, respectively. None of the five FDRs with normal C-peptide responses in all test phases has developed diabetes so far (follow-up 56 to 99 months). OGTT-induced C-peptide release also tended to be lower in progressors than in non-progressors or HVs, but there was less overlap in results between progressors and the other groups using the clamp. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Clamp-derived functional variables stratify risk of diabetes in IA-2A(+) FDRs and may more consistently identify progressors than OGTT-derived variables. A low first-phase C-peptide response specifically predicts impending diabetes while a low second-phase response may reflect an earlier disease stage.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by progressive destruction of the pancreatic beta cells, what leads to insulin deficiency and hyperglycemia. However, a significant secretory function may persist for long periods in a few patients, what is clinically evident through the detection of serum C peptide. This phenomenon might reduce the risk of chronic complications, severe hypoglycemias and allow easier metabolic control. It is possible that these advantages are caused, at least partially, by C peptide itself, acting directly in its target tissues.

Abstract
AIMS To determine differences in pancreatic B-cell function in relation to islet antibodies at diagnosis of diabetes and 3 years later in subjects aged 35-64 years old compared with those aged 0-34 years. METHODS From a population-based diabetes register, 46 (0-34 years old) and 323 (35-64 years old) incident diabetic patients were investigated at diagnosis and 3 years later. Islet cell antibodies (ICA, GADA and IA-2A) and fasting plasma C-peptide were measured. RESULTS Islet antibodies were found in 80% of the subjects aged 0-34 years and in 11% of those aged 35-64 years at diagnosis. ICA and GADA was the only combination of two islet antibodies detected in those aged 35-64 years and was, with or without IA-2A, associated with significantly lower median fasting C-peptide values than in those without or with only one antibody [0.35 nmol/l, interquartile range (IQR) 0.63 vs. 0.85 nmol/l, IQR 0.49; P = 0.0004]. However, fasting C-peptide in subjects aged 35-64 years old with multiple islet antibodies was higher than in those aged 0-34 years with islet antibodies (median 0 nmol/l, IQR 0.16, P = 0.0019). After 3 years' follow-up, fasting C-peptide was even lower in subjects aged 35-64 years old with three islet antibodies (median 0.14 nmol/l, IQR 0.27; P = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Islet antibodies were common in adults at diagnosis of diabetes. The combination of ICA and GADA indicates impaired B-cell function at diagnosis of diabetes in those aged 35-64 years old.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Effects of fish oil supplements on metabolic variables are insufficiently clarified in type 2 diabetes. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate short-term (1 wk) and longer-term (9 wk) effects of n-3 fatty acids. DESIGN Twenty-six subjects with type 2 diabetes without hypertriacylglycerolemia participated in a double-blind controlled study. Median intake in the intervention group was 17.6 mL fish oil/d (1.8 g 20:5n-3, 3.0 g 22:6n-3, and 5.9 g total n-3 fatty acids). The control group received 17.8 mL corn oil/d (8.5 g 18:2n-6). RESULTS Plasma phospholipid 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3 increased, whereas 18:2n-6 decreased, in the fish oil group compared with the corn oil group after 1 wk. The two n-3 fatty acids also increased in adipose tissue biopsy samples taken after 9 wk in the fish oil group. Glucose concentrations (home-monitored) were approximately 1 mmol/L higher in the fish oil group than in the corn oil group at the end of the intervention (P = 0.035). Glucose utilization measured by using an isoglycemic clamp was lowered in the fish oil group compared with that in the corn oil group at the end of the intervention (P = 0.049), whereas glucagon-stimulated C-peptide tended to increase (P = 0.078). The fish oil group utilized less fat for oxidation after 1 wk, with a change to more fat and less carbohydrate oxidation after 9 wk (P = 0.040), than did the corn oil group. CONCLUSION A high intake of fish oil moderately increases blood glucose and decreases insulin sensitivity in persons with type 2 diabetes without hypertriacylglycerolemia and alters carbohydrate and fat utilization in a time-dependent manner.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The World Health Organization considers an aetiological classification of diabetes to be essential. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether HLA-DQB1 genotypes facilitate the classification of diabetes as compared with assessment of islet antibodies by investigating young adult diabetic patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Blood samples were available at diagnosis for 1,872 (90%) of the 2,077 young adult patients (aged 15-34 years old) over a 5-year period in the nationwide Diabetes Incidence Study in Sweden. Islet antibodies were measured at diagnosis in 1,869 patients, fasting plasma C-peptide (fpC-peptide) after diagnosis in 1,522, while HLA-DQB1 genotypes were determined in 1,743. RESULTS Islet antibodies were found in 83% of patients clinically considered to have type 1 diabetes, 23% with type 2 diabetes and 45% with unclassifiable diabetes. After diagnosis, median fpC-peptide concentrations were markedly lower in patients with islet antibodies than in those without (0.24 vs 0.69 nmol/l, p<0.0001). Irrespective of clinical classification, patients with islet antibodies showed increased frequencies of at least one of the risk-associated HLA-DQB1 genotypes compared with patients without. Antibody-negative patients with risk-associated HLA-DQB1 genotypes had significantly lower median fpC-peptide concentrations than those without risk-associated genotypes (0.51 vs 0.74 nmol/l, p=0.0003). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Assessment of islet antibodies is necessary for the aetiological classification of diabetic patients. HLA-DQB1 genotyping does not improve the classification in patients with islet antibodies. However, in patients without islet antibodies, HLA-DQB1 genotyping together with C-peptide measurement may be of value in differentiating between idiopathic type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is a disorder in which, despite the presence of islet antibodies at diagnosis of diabetes, the progression of autoimmune beta-cell failure is slow. LADA patients are therefore not insulin requiring, at least during the first 6 months after diagnosis of diabetes. Among patients with phenotypic type 2 diabetes, LADA occurs in 10% of individuals older than 35 years and in 25% below that age. Prospective studies of beta-cell function show that LADA patients with multiple islet antibodies develop beta-cell failure within 5 years, whereas those with only GAD antibodies (GADAs) or only islet cell antibodies (ICAs) mostly develop beta-cell failure after 5 years. Even though it may take up to 12 years until beta-cell failure occurs in some patients, impairments in the beta-cell response to intravenous glucose and glucagon can be detected at diagnosis of diabetes. Consequently, LADA is not a latent disease; therefore, autoimmune diabetes in adults with slowly progressive beta-cell failure might be a more adequate concept. In agreement with proved impaired beta-cell function at diagnosis of diabetes, insulin is the treatment of choice.

Abstract
Despite extensive and ongoing investigations of the immune mechanisms of autoimmune diabetes in humans and animal models, there is much less information about the natural history of insulin secretion before and after the clinical presentation of type 1 diabetes and the factors that may affect its course. Studies of insulin production previously published and from the Diabetes Prevention Trial (DPT)-1 suggest that there is progressive impairment in insulin secretory responses but the reserve in response to physiological stimuli may be significant at the time of diagnosis, although maximal responses are more significantly impaired. Other factors, including insulin resistance, may play a role in the timing of clinical presentation along this continuum. The factors that predict the occurrence and rapidity of decline in beta-cell function are still largely unknown, but most studies have identified islet cell autoantibodies as predictors of future decline and age as a determinant of residual insulin production at diagnosis. Historical as well as recent clinical experience has emphasized the importance of residual insulin production for glycemic control and prevention of end-organ complications. Understanding the modifiers and predictors of beta-cell function would allow targeting immunological approaches to those individuals most likely to benefit from therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To establish the prevalence of remaining beta-cell function 8 years after diagnosis of diabetes in young adults and relate the findings to islet antibodies at diagnosis and 8 years later. DESIGN Population-based cohort study. SETTING Nationwide from all Departments of Medicine and Endocrinology in Sweden. SUBJECTS A total of 312 young (15-34 years old) adults diagnosed with diabetes during 1987-88. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Plasma connecting peptide (C-peptide) 8 years after diagnosis. Preserved beta-cell function was defined as measurable C-peptide levels. Three islet antibodies - cytoplasmic islet cell antibodies (ICA), glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies and tyrosine phosphatase antibodies - were measured. RESULTS Amongst 269 islet antibody positives (ab+) at diagnosis, preserved beta-cell function was found in 16% (42/269) 8 years later and these patients had a higher body mass index (median 22.7 and 20.5 kg m-2, respectively; P = 0.0003), an increased frequency of one islet antibody (50 and 24%, respectively; P = 0.001), and a lower prevalence of ICA (55 and 6%, respectively; P = 0.007) at diagnosis compared with ab+ without remaining beta-cell function. Amongst the 241 patients without detectable beta-cell function at follow-up, 14 lacked islet antibodies, both at diagnosis and at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Sixteen per cent of patients with autoimmune type 1 diabetes had remaining beta-cell function 8 years after diagnosis whereas 5.8% with beta-cell failure lacked islet autoimmunity, both at diagnosis and at follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the occurrence of early-onset renal involvement in a nationwide population-based cohort of young adults with diabetes in Sweden and relate the findings to glycemic control, type of diabetes, sex, smoking, and blood pressure. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Diabetes Incidence Study in Sweden aims to register all incident cases of diabetes in the age-group 15-34 years. In 1987-1988, 806 patients were reported and invited to participate in a follow-up study focusing on microvascular complications. Of them, 469 subjects participated. The assessment was based on questionnaires (n = 469), blood samples (n = 424), urine samples (n = 251) and, when appropriate, medical records (n = 186). RESULTS During the follow-up time, median 9 years (range 6-12), 31 of 469 patients (6.6%) with incipient or overt diabetic nephropathy (i.e., micro- or macroalbuminuria) were found, 24 of 426 (5.6%) in type 1 and 7 of 43 (16%) in type 2 diabetic subjects (P = 0.016). Additionally, 24 of 31 patients (77%) had microalbuminuria and 7 (23%) had macroalbuminuria, which mainly occurred in patients with type 2 diabetes. In a Cox regression analysis, high mean HbA(1c) during the follow-up period and high blood pressure at follow-up increased the risk of developing signs of nephropathy (P = 0.020 and P = 0.003, respectively). Compared with patients with type 1 diabetes, those with type 2 diabetes tended to have an increased risk of renal involvement (P = 0.054) when adjusting for sex, tobacco use, glycemic control, and blood pressure. CONCLUSIONS Despite modern treatment and self-monitoring of blood glucose, young adult patients with diabetes may still develop renal involvement during the first 10 years of diabetes duration. Inadequate HbA(1c), high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes appear to be risk markers for early occurrence of diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether treatment with insulin in recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes is advantageous compared with glibenclamide treatment. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Beta-cell function, glycemic control, and quality of life were monitored over 2 years in 39 patients with islet cell antibody-negative type 2 diabetes diagnosed 0-2 years before inclusion in a Swedish multicenter randomized clinical trial. Patients were randomized to either two daily injections of premixed 30% soluble and 70% NPH insulin or glibenclamide (3.5-10.5 mg daily). C-peptide-glucagon tests were performed yearly in duplicate after 2-3 days of temporary withdrawal of treatment. RESULTS After 1 year the glucagon-stimulated C-peptide response was increased in the insulin-treated group by 0.14 +/- 0.08 nmol/l, whereas it was decreased by 0.12 +/- 0.08 nmol/l in the glibenclamide group, P < 0.02 for difference between groups. After 2 years, fasting insulin levels were higher after treatment withdrawal in the insulin-treated versus the glibenclamide-treated group (P = 0.02). HbA(1c) levels decreased significantly during the first year in both groups; however, at the end of the second year, HbA(1c) had deteriorated in the glibenclamide group (P < 0.01), but not in the insulin-treated group. The difference in evolution of HbA(1c) during the second year was significant between groups, P < 0.02. A questionnaire indicated no difference in well-being related to treatment. CONCLUSIONS Early insulin versus glibenclamide treatment in type 2 diabetes temporarily prolongs endogenous insulin secretion and promotes better metabolic control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence and severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) 10 years after diagnosis in a nationwide population-based cohort study of young adult diabetic patients in Sweden. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Diabetes Incidence Study in Sweden (DISS) aims to register all incident cases of diabetes aged 15-34 years in Sweden. In 1987-1988, 806 cases were reported, and 627 (78%) of them were followed up with regard to retinopathy 8-10 years later. The assessment was based on retinal photographs in most cases (86%). RESULTS Ten years after diagnosis, retinopathy was found in 247 patients (39%). The retinopathy was mild in 206 (33%), whereas 30 (4.8%) patients had moderate nonproliferative DR (NPDR) and 11 (1.8%) had proliferative DR (PDR). Patients with retinopathy had worse glycemic control during the years than patients without (HbA(1c) 8.1 +/- 1.5% and 6.8 +/- 1.2%, respectively; P < 0.001). In a Cox regression analysis, time to retinopathy was related to high HbA(1c) (P < 0.001) and high BMI (P = 0.001). Patients with type 2 diabetes had an increased prevalence of severe retinopathy (NPDR or PDR) compared with those with type 1 diabetes (14 of 93 [15%] versus no or mild 24 of 471 [5%], respectively; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Despite modern diabetes management, 39% of young adult diabetic patients developed retinopathy within the first 10 years of the disease. Nevertheless, compared with the prevalence of retinopathy (63%), after a similar duration of diabetes before the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial, this prevalence was clearly lower. Current treatment aimed to achieve strict glycemic control has reduced the risk for developing retinopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin autoantibodies (IAA), antibodies against endogenous insulin, may be detected in type 1 diabetic children before the start of insulin treatment. OBJECTIVE To relate IAA to islet antibodies (i.e., islet cell antibodies [ICA], and antibodies against two ICA-related islet antigens, glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 [GADA] and protein tyrosine phosphatase IA-2 [IA-2 A]) at diagnosis, and to endogenous beta-cell function at follow-up after diagnosis in diabetic children. SUBJECTS We investigated 74 children, aged 1-15 yr, at the diagnosis of diabetes and 1-10 yr later. Insulin treatment may induce antibody development against exogenous insulin. Patients with insulin treatment > or = 1 wk (n = 5) were therefore excluded from the final analysis. METHODS Radioligand-binding assays based on human recombinant antigen were used to measure IAA, GADA, and IA-2 A. ICA were determined with indirect immunofluorescence. RESULTS IAA were detected at a significantly lower frequency (43%; p < or = 0.001) than ICA (86%), GADA (72%), and IA-2 A (80%). In agreement, IAA measurements only marginally increased the frequency of positive autoimmune markers at diagnosis of diabetes (from 97 to 99% positive for at least one autoantibody). Preserved beta-cell function (detectable fasting p-C-peptide levels) was found in only nine patients, who were older (13 +/- 3 vs. 7 +/- 6 yr, p = 0.002) and had fewer of the antibodies (IAA, GADA, IA-2 A, ICA) in high titer (> median) compared with 60 patients with undetectable p-C-peptide levels. CONCLUSIONS Insulin autoantibodies are of less clinical value compared with islet antibodies in the diagnosis of autoimmune type 1 diabetes in children.

Abstract
To clarify the relationships between islet antibodies (islet cell antibody [ICA], GAD antibody [GADA], and IA-2 antibody [IA-2A]) versus the progression of beta-cell dysfunction, we have followed a group of diabetic patients from their diagnosis at 21-73 years of age. Patients with ICA had high levels of GADA and/or IA-2A at diagnosis and a more severe beta-cell dysfunction 5 years after diagnosis than those with only GADA in low concentrations. The aim of the current 12-year follow-up study was to examine the further progression of beta-cell dysfunction in relation to islet antibodies at and after diagnosis. Among 107 patients, complete beta-cell failure 12 years after diagnosis was restricted to those with islet antibodies at diagnosis (16 of 21 [77%] with multiple antibodies and 4 of 5 [80%] with only GADA). In contrast, among antibody-negative patients, fasting P-C-peptide levels were unchanged. Most GADA-positive patients (22 of 27 [81%]) remained GADA positive after 12 years. Associated with decreasing fasting P-C-peptide levels (0.85 nmol/l [0.84] at diagnosis vs. 0.51 nmol/l [0.21] 12 years after diagnosis, P < 0.05), ICA developed after diagnosis in 6 of 105 originally antibody negative mostly overweight patients. In conclusion, multiple islet antibodies or GADA alone at diagnosis of diabetes predict future complete beta-cell failure. After diagnosis, GADA persisted in most patients, whereas ICA development in patients who were antibody negative at diagnosis indicated decreasing beta-cell function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the progression of retinopathy 3 years after initiation of insulin therapy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In a prospective, observational case-control study, 42 type 2 diabetic patients were examined at baseline and 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after change to insulin therapy. Retinopathy was graded based on fundus photographs using the Wisconsin scale; HbA(1c) and IGF-1 were measured. RESULTS During the observation period of 3 years, 26 patients progressed in the retinopathy scale; 11 patients progressed at least three levels. After 3 years of insulin therapy, HbA(1c) and IGF-1 were significantly lower than at baseline. Progression of retinopathy greater than or equal to three levels was related to high IGF-1 levels. CONCLUSIONS A relationship was found between high IGF-1 levels at 3 years and progression of retinopathy in type 2 diabetic patients.

Abstract
Glutamate decarboxylase autoantibodies (GAD65Ab) and beta-cell function were evaluated at and 3 years after diabetes onset in consecutive subjects over 15 years of age. At onset, 21/32 (66%) insulin-treated patients (mean age 43, range 16-79 years) had GAD65Ab; all GAD65Ab persisted 3 years later. At onset, 20/82 (24%) non-insulin-treated patients (mean age 56, range 20-79 years) had GAD65Ab. Of those with persistent GAD65Ab, 8 non-insulin-treated and 11 insulin-treated patients consented to follow-up glucose and glucagon stimulation tests. For non-insulin-treated patients, quantitative GAD65Ab index at onset correlated inversely with 1 + 3 min C-peptide response to glucose (r = -0.68, P < 0.05) and to glucagon (r = -0.79, P < 0.05) 3 years later. Those with high (> 0.50) initial GAD65Ab index had lower C-peptide (fasting, 1 + 3 min after glucose and after glucagon) 3 years later, versus those with low (< 0.50) initial GAD65Ab index (P < 0.05). In conclusion, not only did GAD65Ab presence predict future insulin dependence, but higher GAD65Ab levels may mark more rapid decline in beta-cell function in apparent non-insulin-dependent diabetes.

Abstract
To clarify the utility of islet cell antibodies (ICA) to correctly classify and predict insulin treatment in newly diagnosed diabetic subjects, ICA, body mass index (BMI), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and fasting plasma C-peptide values were evaluated at and 3 years after diagnosis in 233 new, consecutively diagnosed, adult diabetic patients classified as obese or nonobese (National Diabetes Data Group, NDDG criteria). Among the 233 patients, 31 were nonobese ICA-positive (mean age at diagnosis 43 +/- 3 years), 55 nonobese ICA-negative (mean age at diagnosis 58 +/- 2 years), 7 obese ICA-positive (mean age at diagnosis 57 +/- 5 years), and 139 obese ICA-negative (mean age at diagnosis 58 +/- 1 years). Fasting C-peptide decreased (P < 0.05) in nonobese ICA-positive patients who after 3 years showed lower BMI (22.6 +/- 0.6 versus 24.5 +/- 0.4; P < 0.05), lower fasting C-peptide (0.14 +/- 0.06 nmol/l versus 0.71 +/- 0.07 nmol/l; P < 0.001), and higher frequency of insulin treatment [28/31 (90%) versus 6/45 (13%); P < 0.001] than nonobese ICA-negative patients.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) leads to deterioration of the endocrine pancreatic function by fibrotic destruction. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether resection or duct drainage in patients with CP would have a direct impact on the pancreatic beta cell function. An intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) was performed before, after and in some cases 3 months after operation in ten patients each of whom had been treated by either resection or duct drainage. Three patients undergoing pancreatic resection for cancer served as controls. Beta cell function was assessed by glucose elimination (K-values), insulin and C-peptide response. K-Values in patients with CP were not significantly influenced after resection (1.93 +/- 0.78/2.13 +/- 0.72; n.s.) or drainage (1.26 +/- 0.47/1.54 +/- 0.58; n.s.) but reduced in all three tumor patients (2.23 +/- 0.55/1.23 +/- 0.43). The initial insulin response [microU/ml] in CP patients was also not altered after resection (19.7 +/- 17.3/16.0 +/- 18.2; n.s.) or after drainage (16.7 +/- 16.5/13.0 +/- 9.0; n.s.), whereas all three resected tumor patients showed reduced values (42.9 +/- 15.7/17.5 +/- 3.8). Stimulated C-peptide synthesis [ngmin/ml] was not substantially lowered in patients resected for CP (90.5 +/- 85.6/73.8 +/- 48.9; n.s.) or in the drainage group (121.3 +/- 67.5/98.0 +/- 57.2; n.s.), but this parameter was decreased in every tumor patient postoperatively (157.8 +/- 66.9/125.1 +/- 69.6). Resection in patients with chronic pancreatitis did not inevitably result in loss of beta cell function. Parenchyma-preserving drainage procedures had no measurable advantage in this respect.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
