Pediatric COVID-19 and Diabetes: An Investigation into the Intersection of Two Pandemics. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:2436. [PMID: 37510181 PMCID: PMC10378192 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13142436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a complex infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and it currently represents a worldwide public health emergency. The pediatric population is less prone to develop severe COVID-19 infection, but children presenting underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, are thought to be at increased risk of developing more severe forms of COVID-19. Diabetic children face new challenges when infected with SARS-CoV-2. On one hand, the glycemic values become substantially more difficult to manage as COVID-19 is a predisposing factor for hyperglycemia. On the other hand, alongside other risk factors, high glycemic values are incriminated in modulating immune and inflammatory responses, leading to potentially severe COVID-19 cases in the pediatric population. Also, there are hypotheses of SARS-CoV-2 being diabetogenic itself, but this information is still to be confirmed. Furthermore, it is reported that there was a noticeable increase in the number of cases of new-onset type 2 diabetes among the pediatric population, and the complications in these patients with COVID-19 include the risk of developing autoimmune diseases under the influence of stress. Additionally, children with diabetes mellitus are confronted with lifestyle changes dictated by the pandemic, which can potentially lead to the onset or exacerbation of a potential underlying anxiety disorder or depression. Since the literature contains a series of unknowns related to the impact of COVID-19 in both types of diabetes in children, the purpose of our work is to bring together the data obtained so far and to identify potential knowledge gaps and areas for future investigation regarding COVID-19 and the onset of diabetes type 1 or type 2 among the pediatric population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cultural beliefs and practices influence management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in youth and their parents, and have been minimally explored, limiting our understanding and implementation of preventative healthcare. An enhanced evidence base may inform comprehensive, effective community health nursing (CHN). Thus, the purpose of this research was to explore the influence of youths' and their parents' understandings of cultural practices on risk for prediabetes and T2D. DESIGN A secondary thematic analysis was conducted. Qualitative data were obtained from semi-structured interviews with 24 participants who were purposefully recruited from two mid-western Canadian high schools. FINDINGS Three themes and one subtheme were developed including: 1) Food Culture and related subtheme, Acculturation to New Food Choices; 2) Exercise Culture: Adapting Physical Activity in a New Country; and, 3) Risk Perception of the Effects of T2D on Loved Ones: Behavior Modifications and Motivation. Cultural practices and acculturation to food such as dietary choices, preparation, large portions, different dietary staples, food availability, and food gathering patterns influenced health behaviors. Similarly, changes in exercise patterns including adapting to Western video game culture, weather in Canada, and the new way of life emerged as important factors that impacted health. Participants who perceived a familial risk of diabetes identified behavior modifications such as regular diabetes screening, nutrition counseling, healthier food choices, smaller food portions, and an increase in physical activity as strategies to reduce risk of prediabetes and diabetes. CONCLUSIONS There is a critical need for research aimed at prediabetes and T2D prevention, and intervention programs targeting ethnically diverse groups where prediabetes and T2D is most prevalent. CLINICAL EVIDENCE Community health nurses are at the core of implementing and supporting disease prevention and, therefore, may consider the findings from this research to develop family-focused, intergenerational, and culturally-based interventions.

Abstract
A decade since the discovery of insulin, the increasing prevalence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has underscored the prevailing inequalities in the provision of essential care for T1DM worldwide. However, the details on the availability of insulin types and associated medical devices remain unclear. A cross-sectional electronic survey was distributed across a global network of pediatric societies under the umbrella of the International Pediatric Association (IPA). Access to and availability of pediatric diabetes care were investigated using standardized questions. Responses from 25 of 132 pediatric societies across six regions were included. Pediatric endocrinologists typically manage T1DM together with pediatricians or adult endocrinologists. Nonetheless, 24% of the respondents reported pediatricians to be the sole healthcare professionals. According to the respondents, the patients were either partially or completely responsible for payments of insulin (40%), A1C (24%), C-peptide (28%), and antibody testing for diagnosis (28%). Government support is generally available for insulin, but this was merely 20% for insulin pumps and 12% for continuous glucose monitors. There are considerable disparities in the access, availability, and affordability of diabetes testing, medications, and support between countries with significant out-of-pocket payments for care. Country- and region-specific improvements to national programs are necessary to achieve optimal pediatric diabetes care globally.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2) is one of the most frequent glucose metabolism disorders, in which serum glucose concentrations are increased. In most cases, changes in lifestyle and diet are considered as the first step in addressing its therapy. If changes in lifestyle and diet fail, drugs, such as metformin, must be added. Lately, apart from metformin or insulin, the FDA has approved the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues for children and adolescents. Little is known about their efficacy and safety at this young age. The main aim of this systematic review/meta-analysis was to assess the safety and efficacy of metformin and GLP-1 analogues, exenatide and liraglutide, compared with placebos or other antidiabetic drugs used for DMT2 in children and adolescents. Metformin did not seem to demonstrate pharmacologic superiority, while GLP-1 analogues were found superior to placebos. GLP-1 analogues may be considered a useful alternative for the treatment of DMT2 in children and adolescents.

Abstract
Background Cardiovascular disease is still the number 1 cause of death globally. Meanwhile, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a risk factor for atherosclerosis vascular disease (ASCVD), so an assessment using Framingham Risk Score (FRS) is needed to predict the risk of ASCVD in the future. Objective Analyzing the risk factor of ASCVD using the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) in T2DM patients. Methods This study was conducted from July 2020 to July 2021, which the participants were measured for FRS including age, gender, current smoking, diabetes, blood pressure (systolic), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, total cholesterol (TC), and ASCVD risk score. The analysis employed multiple linear tests and ANOVA tests with p < 0.05. Results Several ASCVD risk factors in T2DM patients were found, including gender (t = 6.015; p < 0.001), age (t = 6.901; p < 0.001), HDL level (t = 2.287; p = 0.024), CT level (t = 5.273; p < 0.001), blood pressure (t = 5.850; p < 0.001), and current smoking (t = 2.638; p = 0.009). The results of analysis between ASCVD risk factor and level of ASCVD risk obtained a significant association (F = 36,642; p < 0.001). Conclusion Risk factors of ASCVD in T2DM patients such as gender, age, HDL level, CT level, blood pressure, and current smoking. Risk factors of ASCVD include gender, age, HDL level, CT level, blood pressure, and current smoking in T2DM patients. Significant ASCVD risk factors are age, gender, TC level, and blood pressure. The Framingham Risk Score is used to predict ASCVD in T2DM patients in the next 10 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adult patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus are at risk for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. AIM The objective of our study is to evaluate the electrocardiographic data of children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus and to determine the possibility of arrhythmia in order to prevent sudden death. METHODS Electrocardiographic data of 60 patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus and 86 controls, who were compatible with the patient group in terms of age and gender, were compared. RESULTS The duration of diabetes in our patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus was 5.23 ± 1.76 years, and the haemoglobin A1c levels were 9.63% ± 1.75%. The heart rate, QRS, QT maximum, QT dispersion, QTc minimum, QTc maximum, QTc dispersion, Tp-e maximum, Tp-e maximum/QTc maximum and the JTc were significantly higher compared to the control group. There was no significant correlation between the duration of type 1 diabetes mellitus and HbA1c levels and the electrocardiographic data. CONCLUSION We attributed the lack of a significant correlation between the duration of type 1 diabetes mellitus and the haemoglobin A1c levels and the electrocardiographic data to the fact that the duration of diabetes was short, since our patients were children. We believe that patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus should be followed up closely in terms of sudden death, as they have electrocardiographic changes that may cause arrhythmias compared to the control group. However, more studies with longer follow-up periods are necessary to support our data.

Impact of COVID-19 on Children and Young Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: A Narrative Review With Emphasis on the Potential of Intermittent Fasting as a Preventive Strategy. Front Nutr 2021; 8:756413. [PMID: 34778345 PMCID: PMC8581608 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2021.756413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2021] [Accepted: 09/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The world is still struggling to control the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The level of uncertainty regarding the virus is still significantly high. The virus behaves differently in children and young adults. Most children and adolescents are either asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. They generally have a very good prognosis. However, it is not well-known whether children and young adults with type 2 diabetes are at risk of getting a severe infection of COVID-19. Many Muslim children with type 2 diabetes have been performing dawn to dusk fasting during the month of Ramadan, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of this on their health has not been well investigated. Previous studies in adults have suggested that intermittent fasting may be beneficial in different ways including reversal of type 2 diabetes and prevention of COVID-19 infection. Objective: The primary aim of this narrative review is to summarise the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on children and young adults with type 2 diabetes, and to identify the knowledge gaps in the literature. It also explores the potential of intermittent fasting in reversing the pathogenesis of diabetes and highlighting how this approach could prevent these patients from developing chronic complications. Methods: This narrative review has been produced by examining several databases, including Google Scholar, Research Gate, PubMed, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE (EBSCO), and Web of Science. The most common search terms used were "COVID-19 AND Children", "SARS-CoV-2 AND/OR Children", "COVID-19 AND Diabetes" "COVID-19 Epidemiology", "COVID-19 AND Ramadan fasting", "COVID-19 and Intermittent fasting." All the resources used are either peer-reviewed articles/reports and/or official websites of various media, governmental and educational organisations. Results: Having reviewed the currently limited evidence, it has been found that the incidence of COVID-19 among children with type 2 diabetes seems to be not much different from children without diabetes. However, these patients are still vulnerable to any infection. Several studies have reported that prevention programmes such as intermittent fasting are effective to protect these groups of patients from developing any complications. Moreover, observing Ramadan fasting as a type of intermittent fasting could be beneficial for some children with established diabetes, prediabetes and people at risk. Conclusion: Children and young adults with type 2 diabetes are not at risk of severe COVID-19 infection as the case in adults with diabetes. More research is needed to identify the impact of COVID-19 and to investigate the efficacy and safety of intermittent fasting, including Ramadan fasting, among these age groups. Implementing these cost-effective programmes may have a great impact in minimising the incidence of diabetes. Moreover, this could be effective particularly at prediabetes stage by preventing these people from going onto develop type 2 diabetes and taking medications for the rest of their life and protecting people from complications linked to disease and infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review summarizes results of studies that evaluated the expression of microRNAs (miRs) in prediabetes or type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS The information was obtained from PubMed, EMBL-EBI, Wanfang, Trip Database, Lilacs, CINAHL, Human microRNA Disease Database (HMDD) v3.0, and Google. A qualitative synthesis of the results was performed and miRs frequency was graphically represented. From 1893 identified studies, only 55 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. These 55 studies analyzed miRs in T2D, and of them, 13 also described data of prediabetes. RESULTS In diabetics, 122 miRs were reported and 35 miRs for prediabetics. However, we identified that five miRs (-122-5p, 144-3p, 210, 375, and -126b) were reported more often in diabetics and four (144-3p, -192, 29a, and -30d) in prediabetics. CONCLUSIONS Circulating miRs could be used as biomarkers of T2D. However, it is necessary to validate these microRNAs in prospective and multicenter studies with different population subgroups, considering age, gender, and risk factors.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the present study is to understand the distribution of A1c in four different age groups in young adults and its relation to other co-variants. METHODS The countrywide data was collected in 2017 in Individuals with high risk analysed by Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) and self-declared diabetics were identified after screening a sample of 240,968 individuals from rural (4 villages of about 500 adults each) and urban (4 census enumeration blocks of about 500 adults each) population spanning 65 districts of 29 states/UTs of Indian subcontinent. Blood tests and other detailed assessments were carried out on this selected group. This study presents the analysis of the A1c values of 2862 young adults (<35 years). RESULTS In the age group of 31-34 years, the proportion of Diabetes (22.36%) and Prediabetes (9.86%) was higher in comparison with younger age groups. Also, Diabetes (7.3%) and Prediabetes (22%) were highest among those who had parental history of DM in both parents as compared to those with Diabetes history in one parent [Diabetes (7.1%) or Prediabetes (19.0%)] and no Diabetes Parental History (Diabetes (7.3%) and Prediabetes (18.3%) cases. BMI was found to play a significant positive correlation with Diabetes and Prediabetes (p < 0.001) with range of A1c. CONCLUSION Age, BMI and parental history were found to be correlated with A1c levels in IDRS screened high-risk population. With increasing age, the proportion of Diabetics and Prediabetics also increased with positive correlation of age with A1c levels.

Abstract
The screening strategy based on α-glucosidase inhibition has been widely employed for the discovery of antidiabetic drugs, but it still faces some challenges in practical applications, such as poor stability of enzyme, high consumption of test compounds, low sensitivity of screening methods and so on. In this work, a bifunctional hybrid enzyme-catalytic metal organic framework reactor (GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF) with a flower-shaped globular structure was innovatively prepared via self-assembling of α-glucosidase (GAA), glucose oxidase (GOx), Cu2+, and 4,4'-bipyridine. It was found that GAA@GOx@Cu-MOF not only enjoyed merits of high stability, selectivity, and sensitivity but also possessed the character of assembly line work, with about 4.58 times enhanced enzyme activity compared with the free enzyme system. Based on the above characteristics, a highly sensitive screening of GAA inhibitors could be achieved with the detection limit of 7.05 nM for acarbose. Furthermore, the proposed method was successfully applied to the screening of oleanolic acid derivatives as potential antidiabetic drugs. Therefore, it was expected that this work could provide new insights and inspirations for the screening of clinical antidiabetic drugs and for further exploration of functional MOF composites.
