Abstract
Introduction An essential process affecting the course of type 1 diabetes (DM1) is the appearance and duration of clinical remission. One of the most important factors promoting the occurrence of remission is physical activity, due to increased activity of antioxidants, reduces insulin resistance and improves glucose transport. Maximal oxygen capacity (VO2max) is an objective measure of the body's aerobic capacity. To assess VO2max, oxygen uptake should be measured directly during the exercise test. The aim of the study was to evaluate the physical capacity in adults with DM1 and its relationship with the occurrence of partial clinical remission (pCR) during 2 years follow-up. Methods The pCR was assessed by the following mathematical formula: A1c (%) + [4 × insulin dose (U/kg/d)]. The result ⩽9 indicates pCR. VO2max was assessed between 6th and 24th month of diabetes duration using an ergospirometer (COSMED K5 System), during an exercise test carried out on a cycloergometer (RAMP incremental exercise test). Results The study group consisted of 32 adults with DM1. People with pCR were proved to have higher VO2max level [36.0 (33.0-41.5) vs 30.9 (26.5-34.4) ml/min/kg, P = .009. Univariate and multivariate regression confirmed a significant association between VO2max and presence of pCR [AOR 1.26 (1.05-1.52), P = .015]. Duration of remission was longer among group with higher VO2max results [15 (9-24) vs 9 (0-12) months, P = .043]. The positive relationship was observed between diabetes duration and VO2max (rs = 0.484, P = .005). Multivariate linear regression confirms a significant association between remission duration and VO2max (ml/min/kg) (β = 0.595, P = .002). Conclusion The higher VO2max, the better chance of partial clinical remission at 2 years of DM1 and longer duration of remission.

Kennedy EC, Hawkes CP. Approaches to Measuring Beta Cell Reserve and Defining Partial Clinical Remission in Paediatric Type 1 Diabetes. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 11:186. [PMID: 38397298 PMCID: PMC10887271 DOI: 10.3390/children11020186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
CONTEXT Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from the autoimmune T-cell mediated destruction of pancreatic beta cells leading to insufficient insulin secretion. At the time of diagnosis of T1D, there is residual beta cell function that declines over the subsequent months to years. Recent interventions have been approved to preserve beta cell function in evolving T1D. OBJECTIVE The aim of this review is to summarise the approaches used to assess residual beta cell function in evolving T1D, and to highlight potential future directions. METHODS Studies including subjects aged 0 to 18 years were included in this review. The following search terms were used; "(type 1 diabetes) and (partial remission)" and "(type 1 diabetes) and (honeymoon)". References of included studies were reviewed to determine if additional relevant studies were eligible. RESULTS There are numerous approaches to quantifying beta cell reserve in evolving T1D. These include c-peptide measurement after a mixed meal or glucagon stimuli, fasting c-peptide, the urinary c-peptide/creatinine ratio, insulin dose-adjusted haemoglobin A1c, and other clinical models to estimate beta cell function. Other biomarkers may have a role, including the proinsulin/c-peptide ratio, cytokines, and microRNA. Studies using thresholds to determine if residual beta cell function is present often differ in values used to define remission. CONCLUSIONS As interventions are approved to preserve beta cell function, it will become increasingly necessary to quantify residual beta cell function in research and clinical contexts. In this report, we have highlighted the strengths and limitations of the current approaches.

Abstract
Shortly after diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and initiation of insulin therapy, many patients experience a transient partial remission (PR) phase, also known as the honeymoon phase. This phase presents a potential therapeutic opportunity due to its association with immunoregulatory and β cell-protective mechanisms. However, the lack of biomarkers makes its characterization difficult. In this review, we cover the current literature addressing the discovery of new predictive and monitoring biomarkers that contribute to the understanding of the metabolic, epigenetic, and immunological mechanisms underlying PR. We further discuss how these peripheral biomarkers reflect attempts to arrest β cell autoimmunity and how these can be applied in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Persistence of β cell-function in Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with glycaemia stability and lower prevalence of microvascular complications. We aimed to assess the prevalence of residual C- peptide secretion in long-term Brazilian childhood onset T1D receiving usual diabetes care and its association to clinical, metabolic variables and microvascular complications. METHODS A cross-sectional observational study with 138 T1D adults with ≥ 3 years from the diagnosis by routine diabetes care. Clinical, metabolic variables and microvascular complications were compared between positive ultra-sensitive fasting serum C-peptide (FCP +) and negative (FCP-) participants. RESULTS T1D studied had ≥ 3 yrs. of diagnosis and 60% had FCP > 1.15 pmol/L. FCP + T1D were older at diagnosis (10 vs 8 y.o; p = 0.03) and had less duration of diabetes (11 vs 15 y.o; p = 0.002). There was no association between the FCP + and other clinical and metabolic variable but there was inversely association with microalbuminuria (28.6% vs 13.4%, p = 0.03), regardless of HbA1c. FCP > 47 pmol/L were associated with nephropathy protection but were not related to others microvascular complications. CONCLUSION Residual insulin secretion is present in 60% of T1D with ≥ 3 years of diagnosis in routine diabetes care. FCP + was positively associated with age of diagnosis and negatively with duration of disease and microalbuminuria, regardless of HbA1c.

Abstract
A literature search was conducted to identify publications addressing the early phases of lipid phenotypes in children and adults with either type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes. Medline, EMBASE, and Ovid were searched using the following search terms: clinical remission, partial remission, partial clinical remission, honeymoon phase, C-peptide, type 1 or 2 diabetes, children, pediatric type 1 or 2 diabetes, and paediatrics type 1 or 2 diabetes, adults, adult type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Partial clinical remission (PR) of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by continued endogenous production of insulin and C-peptide following the diagnosis and the introduction of exogenous insulin therapy. PR is associated with improved glycemic control and reduced prevalence of diabetes complications. The theory of hyperglycemic memory was proposed to explain this concept of improved glycemic outcomes in remitters (those who experienced PR) versus non-remitters (those who did not experience PR). However, this theory is incomplete as it does not explain the dichotomy in early lipid phenotypes in T1D based on PR status, which is an understudied area in diabetology and lipidology. To fill this knowledge gap, we propose the Theory of Hyperlipidemic Memory of T1D. This theory is premised on our 5-year research on early post-diagnostic dichotomy in lipid phenotypes between remitters and non-remitters across the lifespan. It provides a more rigorous explanation for the differences in lifelong atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk between remitters and non-remitters. We conducted 4 clinical studies in pediatric and adult subjects with diabetes mellitus to characterize the particulars of the hyperlipidemic memory. In the first investigation, we explored the impact of the presence or absence of PR on lipid parameters in children and adolescents with T1D. In the second, we investigated whether pubertal maturation influenced our findings in T1D; and whether these findings could be replicated in healthy, non-diabetic children and adolescents. In the third, we leveraged our findings from T1D and controls to investigate the mechanisms of early lipid changes in T2D by comparing the earliest lipid phenotype of subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) to those of remitters, non-remitters, and controls. In the fourth, we investigated the impact of PR on the earliest lipid phenotypes in adults with T1D and compared these early lipid data to those of T2D subjects and controls. This body of work across the lifespan in children, adolescents, and adults supports the Theory of Hyperlipidemic Memory. This new theory clarifies why PR largely determines the risks for early-phase dyslipidemia, mid-term microvascular disease risk, and long-term ASCVD risk in subjects with T1D.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To propose a new definition of partial remission (PR) for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) of all-ages using insulin dose and glycated albumin (GA), and find the optimal cut-off values for stimulated C-peptide to diagnose PR in different age-groups. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Patients with newly diagnosed T1D (n=301) were included. GA/insulin dose was used to diagnose PR, and insulin dose-adjusted glycated albumin (IDAGA) was proposed to facilitate clinical application. The optimal diagnostic levels of IDAGA and stimulated C-peptide were determined in different age-groups (≤ 12y, 12-18y and ≥ 18y). Furthermore, the diagnostic consistency between different PR definitions was studied. RESULTS GA≤ 23%/insulin dose ≤ 0.5u/kg/day was used to define PR, and IDAGA (GA (%) + 40 * insulin dose(u/kg/day)) ≤ 40 was feasible in all age-groups. Whereas, the optimal diagnostic level showed difference for stimulated C-peptide (265.5, 449.3 and 241.1 pmol/L for the ≤ 12y, 12-18y and ≥ 18y age-group, respectively). About 40% of patients met the PR definition by stimulated C-peptide but not GA/insulin dose or IDAGA, who showed dyslipidemia and higher insulin resistance. CONCLUSIONS A new definition of the PR phase is proposed using GA/insulin dose, and the calculated IDAGA≤ 40 applies to all age-groups. The stimulated C-peptide to diagnose PR is the highest in the 12-18y age-group, which reflects the effect of puberty on metabolism. For patients with insulin resistance, it is not recommended to use stimulated C-peptide alone to diagnose PR.
