Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the onset and the choice of treatment in children with very early onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). METHODS The study included 5,763 patients from the German Diabetes Patient Follow-up registry with onset of T1D in the first 4 years of life from January 2010 - June 2022. The analysis included diabetes-specific parameters, anthropometric data, and mode of treatment at onset, within the first and second year of T1D. Three groups were compared according to age at onset (G1: 223 patients 6-<12 months, G2: 1519 patients 12-<24 months, G3: 4001 patients 24-48 months). RESULTS In 12.3% of all cases in childhood and adolescence, the incidence of diabetes in the first 4 years of life was rare. At the onset, clinical status was worse and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) rates were higher in G1 and G2 (52.3% and 46.5%, respectively) compared to G3 (27.3% (p<0.001)). G1 and G2 were significantly more likely to be treated with insulin pump therapy (CSII) 2 years after onset (98.1% and 94.1%, respectively)) compared to G3 (85.8%, p<0.001). Median HbA1c after 2 years did not differ between groups (G1: 7.27% (56.0 mmol/mol), G2: 7.34% (56.7 mmol/mol) and G3: 7.27% (56.0 mmol/mol)) or when comparing CSII vs MDI. The rate of severe hypoglycemia (SH) and DKA during the first 2 years of treatment did not differ among the three groups, ranging from 1.83-2.63/100 patient-years (PY) for DKA and 9.37-24.2/100 PY for SH. Children with T1D under 4 years of age are more likely to be diagnosed with celiac disease but less likely to have thyroiditis than older children with T1DM. CONCLUSIONS Young children with T1D had high rates of DKA at onset and were predominantly treated with insulin pump therapy during the first 2 years. The median HbA1c for all three groups was<7.5% (58 mmol/mol) without increased risk of SH or DKA. The use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) was not associated with lower HbA1c in children under 48 months.

Abstract
This position paper is based on the authors' many years of clinical experience and basic science research on the diagnosis and treatment of children and adolescents with a presymptomatic early stage of type 1 diabetes. The benefits as well as potential disadvantages of early detection of type 1 diabetes by islet autoantibody screening are critically discussed. In addition, the perspectives of delaying the onset of the clinical metabolic disease through treatment with teplizumab are addressed. Today, we see the chance for a relevant improvement in therapeutic options and life perspectives of affected children and adolescents. Important next steps for the implementation of islet autoantibody screening in Germany are the training of pediatricians who should inform families about the screening, establishment of a few transregional laboratories that carry out the test, and expansion of regional capacities for the training and care of children with an early stage of type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Data regarding diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at diagnosis of type one diabetes (T1D) in developing countries are scarce. The aim of this study was to describe the frequency of DKA at the onset of T1D in children and adolescents in Jordan and to compare the clinical and biochemical characteristics between the group that presented with DKA and the group that did not. METHODS The records of 341 children and adolescents, less than sixteen years of age, who were diagnosed with T1D between 2015 and 2019 were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS Of all the children diagnosed with T1D, 108 (31.7%) presented with DKA. The majority had mild or moderate DKA (38% and 33.3% respectively). Higher paternal education levels were associated with a lower probability of presenting with DKA (p=0.043). A family history of T1D had a protective effect on the occurrence of DKA (Odds ratio=2.138; 95% confidence interval=1.167-3.917, p=0.014). Patients with celiac disease and higher HbA1c levels were more likely to experience recurrent episodes of DKA, (p=0.004 and 0.011, respectively). CONCLUSION In Jordan, the rate of DKA at presentation of T1D remains high. Prevention campaigns are needed to increase diabetes awareness among the public and healthcare providers.

Al-Abdulrazzaq D, Othman F, Qabazard S, Al-Tararwa A, Ahmad D, Al-Sanae H, Al-Kandari H. Epidemiological trends in the presentation of diabetic ketoacidosis in children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes from 2011 to 2017 in Kuwait. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:908458. [PMID: 36568099 PMCID: PMC9780369 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.908458] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Monitoring the trends in the presentation of T1D over decades cannot be underestimated as it provides a rich source of information on diabetes-related complications like DKA. DKA represents a medical emergency, with potentially fatal outcome, and thus the prevention of DKA is a priority in diabetes care. The aim of this study is to report on trends in the presentation of DKA in children newly diagnosed with T1D in Kuwait. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study is based on a retrospective review of children newly diagnosed with T1D aged 14 years or less at three Governmental Hospitals representing three health sectors out of the total six health sectors in the country during the period 2011-2017. RESULTS A total of 799 children (376 males and 423 females) were newly diagnosed with T1D. 287 children presented with DKA (35.9%) with only 73 children (9.1%) classified as severe. During the years 2011 to 2017, we note that the percentage of children older than 6 years of age presenting with severe DKA has decreased significantly (p=0.022). Unfortunately, this has not been replicated in children younger than 6 years. CONCLUSION This study highlights the importance of continued monitoring of clinical characteristics of children at diagnosis of T1D specifically presenting with DKA to enable diabetes care professionals to appreciate the multifaceted aspects of T1D, in particular the importance of raising awareness of the early signs of the onset of T1D with special attention to DKA and its severe consequences.
