Abstract
AIMS To examine educational outcomes among adolescents with type 1 diabetes and determine the role of comorbidity. METHODS We conducted a nationwide register-based cohort study including 3370 individuals born between 1991 and 2003 and diagnosed with type 1 diabetes before the age of 16. They were all matched with up to four individuals without type 1 diabetes on age, gender, parents' educational level and immigration status. Information on comorbidity was based on hospital diagnoses. The individuals were followed in registers to determine whether they finished compulsory school (9th grade, usually at the age of 15-16 years), and were enrolled in secondary education by age 18 years. RESULTS Individuals with type 1 diabetes were more likely not to complete compulsory school (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.26-1.64), and not being enrolled in an upper secondary education by age 18 (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.31-1.73) compared to their peers. A total of 1869 (56%) individuals with type 1 diabetes were registered with at least one somatic (n = 1709) or psychiatric comorbidity (n = 389). Those with type 1 diabetes and psychiatric comorbidity were more likely not to complete compulsory school (OR 2.47, 95% CI 1.54-3.96), and not being enrolled in an upper secondary education by age 18 (OR 3.66, 95% CI 2.27-5.91) compared to those with type 1 diabetes only. Further, there was a tendency towards an association between having somatic comorbidity and adverse educational outcomes (OR 1.25, 95% CI 0.97-1.63; OR 1.26, 95% CI 0.95-1.66) among adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The associations differed markedly between diagnostic comorbidity groups. CONCLUSION Type 1 diabetes affects educational attainment and participation among adolescents. Psychiatric comorbidity contributes to adverse educational outcomes in this group, and there is a tendency that somatic comorbidity also plays a role.

Abstract
AIMS To find clinical and immunological signatures of the SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic on children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS A single-centre, retrospective, observational study comparing the clinical and immunological characteristics of children diagnosed with T1D the year before and during the first 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data extracted from the medical records included clinical and demographic parameters, COVID-19 PCR results and the presence of anti-islet, thyroid and celiac-related antibodies. Also obtained from the medical records was a family history of T1D, celiac disease and autoimmune thyroid disease in a first-degree family member. RESULTS A total of 376 children were diagnosed with T1D during the study period. A total of 132 in the pre-COVID era and 246 in the first 2 years of the pandemic. At diagnosis, the pH in children with DKA was lower, and HbA1c tended to be higher in the COVID-19 group compared to the pre-COVID-19 group (7.30 [7.18, 7.35] vs 7.33 [7.19, 7.36], p = 0.046) and (110.9 [86.9, 129.5] vs 100 [80.3, 129.5], p = 0.067]) respectively. Multiple islet antibodies (IA) were significantly more common among patients in the pre-COVID-19 group compared to the COVID-19 group (72% vs 61%, p = 0.032). Tissue transglutaminase antibodies were more common among children diagnosed in the COVID-19 compared to the pre-COVID group (16.6% vs 7.9%, p = 0.022). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 and the environmental alterations caused by the pandemic affected the clinical characteristics and the immunological profile of children diagnosed with T1D. It is, therefore, plausible that the virus plays a role in the autoimmune process causing T1D.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the associations between socioeconomic deprivation and sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy (STDR) in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data from 175,628 individuals with diabetes in the Health Improvement Network were used to assess the risk of STDR across Townsend Deprivation Index quantiles using Cox proportional hazard regression. RESULTS Among individuals with T1D, the risk of STDR was three times higher (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 2.67, 95% CI 1.05-7.78) in the most deprived quintile compared with the least deprived quintile. In T2D, the most deprived quintile had a 28% higher risk (aHR 1.28; 95% CI 1.15-1.43) than the least deprived quintile. CONCLUSIONS Increasing socioeconomic deprivation is associated with a higher risk of developing STDR in people with diabetes. This underscores persistent health disparities linked to poverty, even within a country offering free universal health care. Further research is needed to address health equity concerns in socioeconomically deprived regions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous meta-analyses have shown mixed results regarding the association between eating disorders (EDs) and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Our paper aimed to analyse different EDs and disordered eating behaviours that may be practiced by patients with T1DM. METHODS A literature search of PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science was conducted on 17 January 2023, using the key terms "T1DM," "Eating Disorders" and "Bulimia." Only observational controlled studies were included. The Revman software (version 5.4) was used for the analysis. RESULTS T1DM was associated with increased risk of ED compared with nondiabetic individuals (RR = 2.47, 95% CI = 1.84-3.32, p-value < 0.00001), especially bulimia nervosa (RR = 2.80, 95% CI = 1.18-6.65, p-value = 0.02) and binge eating (RR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.18-1.98, p-value = 0.001). Our analysis has shown that increased risk of ED among T1DM persisted regardless of the questionnaire used to diagnose ED; DM-validated questionnaires (RR = 2.80, 95% CI = 1.91-4.12, p-value < 0.00001) and generic questionnaires (RR = 2.03, 95% CI = 1.27-3.23, p-value = 0.003). Prevalence of insulin omission/misuse was 10.3%; diabetic females demonstrated a significantly higher risk of insulin omission and insulin misuse than diabetic males. CONCLUSION Our study establishes a significant and clear connection between EDs and T1DM, particularly bulimia and binge eating, with T1DM. Moreover, female diabetics are at higher risk of insulin misuse/omission. Early proactive screening is essential and tailored; comprehensive interventions combining diabetes and ED components are recommended for this population, with referral to a specialised psychiatrist.

Abstract
CONTEXT Prematurity increases the long-term risks for endocrine and metabolic morbidity of offspring, but there is uncertainty regarding the risks for early-term deliveries (370/7-386/7 weeks of gestation). OBJECTIVE We aim to evaluate whether early-term deliveries increase the long-term risk for type 1 diabetes and obesity of offspring up to the age of 18 years compared with full-term children. PubMed, Medline, and EMBASE were searched. Observational cohort studies addressing the association between early-term delivery and long-term risk for type 1 diabetes and obesity, were included. Two independent reviewers extracted data and assessed risk of bias. Pooled relative risks (RRs) and heterogeneity were determined. Publication bias was assessed by funnel plots with Egger's regression line and contours, and sensitivity analyses were performed. RESULTS Eleven studies were included following a screen of 7500 abstracts. All studies were scored as high quality according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. Early-term delivery was significantly associated with an increased risk for type 1 diabetes (RR 1.19, 1.13-1.25), while the association was weaker for overweight and obesity (RR 1.05, 0.97-1.12). It is challenging to determine whether the association between early-term births and long-term morbidity represents a cause and effect relationship or is attributable to confounders. Most of the included studies adjusted for at least some possible confounders. CONCLUSION Compared with full-term offspring, early-term delivery poses a modest risk for long-term pediatric type 1 diabetes. Our analysis supports that, whenever medically possible, elective delivery should be avoided before 39 completed weeks of gestation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Among youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D), longitudinal poor glycemic control is associated with adverse socioeconomic conditions at the neighborhood level. Child Opportunity Index (COI), which encompasses measures of education, health, environment, social, and economic factors, is associated with obesity in youth but has not been evaluated in youth with new-onset T1D or type 2 diabetes (T2D). We hypothesized that lower COI would be associated with adverse clinical outcomes at diabetes diagnosis, and due to differing risk factors and pathophysiology, that youth with new-onset T2D would have lower COI than youth with T1D. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Retrospective cohort of youth with new-onset diabetes admitted to a large academic pediatric hospital. COI was compared by diabetes type using t-tests and Χ2 tests. Multivariable linear and logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate associations between COI and clinical characteristics, stratified by diabetes type and adjusted for age and sex. RESULTS The cohort (n=484) differed in race and age by diabetes type (T1D: n=389; 10.0% black, 81.2% white; age 9.6±0.2 years; T2D: n=95; 44.2% black, 48.4% white; age 14.8±0.3 years). Youth with T2D had lower COI (p<0.001). Low COI was associated with diabetic ketoacidosis in T1D and T2D. Black youth with low COI had the highest hemoglobin A1c among youth with T2D and the highest obesity prevalence among youth with T1D. CONCLUSIONS COI is associated with differing characteristics at diagnosis in youth-onset T1D and T2D but is worse among youth with T2D overall. These findings underscore the need to address socioeconomic adversity when designing interventions to reduce T2D risk and to improve outcomes at diabetes diagnosis in youth.

Abstract
BackgroundSocioeconomic status in the risk of developing type 1 diabetes seems inconsistent. We investigated whether risk of childhood-onset type 1 diabetes differed by parental education or occupation in a nationwide cohort. METHODS This cohort study included all children born in Norway from 1974 to 2013. In individually linked data from nationwide population registries following children born in Norway up to 15 years of age, we identified 4647 with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes during 15 381 923 person-years of follow-up. RESULTS Children of mothers with a master's degree had lower risk of type 1 diabetes than children of mothers with completed upper secondary education only (adjusted incidence rate ratio, aIRR=0.82 95% CI: 0.70 to 0.95). There was no difference between upper secondary and lower secondary maternal education (aIRR=0.98, 95% CI: 0.89 to 1.08). Paternal education was not significantly associated with type 1 diabetes, lower secondary compared with upper secondary aIRR 0.96 (0.88-1.05) and master compared with upper secondary aIRR 0.93 (0.83-1.05). While maternal elementary occupation was associated with a lower risk of type 1 diabetes, specific maternal or paternal occupations were not. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested inverse U-shaped associations between maternal socioeconomic status and risk of type 1 diabetes. Non-linear associations may be part of the reason why previous literature has been inconsistent.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This systematic review aimed to assess the prevalence and incidence of diabetic retinopathy in patients with diabetes of Latin America and the Caribbean. METHODS We searched Web of Science (WoS)/Core Collection, WoS/MEDLINE, WoS/Scielo, Scopus, PubMed/Medline and Embase databases until January 16, 2023. We meta-analyzed prevalences according to type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). RESULTS Forty-three prevalence studies (47 585 participants) and one incidence study (436 participants) were included. The overall prevalence of retinopathy in patients with T1DM was 40.6% (95% CI: 34.7 to 46.6; I2: 92.1%) and in T2DM was 37.3% (95% CI: 31.0 to 43.8; I2: 97.7), but the evidence is very uncertain (very low certainty of evidence). In meta-regression, we found that age (T1DM) and time in diabetes (T2DM) were factors associated with the prevalence. On the other hand, one study found a cumulative incidence of diabetic retinopathy of 39.6% at 9 years of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Two out of five patients with T1DM or T2DM may present diabetic retinopathy in Latin America and the Caribbean, but the evidence is very uncertain. This is a major public health problem, and policies and strategies for early detection and opportunely treatment should be proposed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To assess time trends in incidence, clinical characteristics, complications, and hospital outcomes among patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and patients without diabetes who underwent kidney transplant (KT); to identify variables associated with in-hospital mortality (IHM); and to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We used a nationwide discharge database to select KT recipients admitted to Spanish hospitals from 2016 to 2020. We stratified patients according to diabetes status. We used multivariable logistic regression to identify the variables associated with IHM. RESULTS A total of 14 594 KTs were performed in Spain (T2D, 22.28%; T1D, 3.72%). The number of KTs rose between 2016 and 2019 and and decreased from 2019 to 2020 in all groups. In patients with T2D, the frequency of KT complications increased from 21.08% in 2016 to 34.17% in 2020 (p<0.001). Patients with T2D had significantly more comorbidity than patients with T1D and patients without diabetes (p<0.001). Patients with T1D experienced KT rejection significantly more frequently (8.09%) than patients with T2D (5.57%).COVID-19 was recorded in 26 out of the 2444 KTs performed in 2020, being found in 6 of the 39 patients deceased that year (15.38%) and in 0.83% of the survivors.The variables associated with IHM were comorbidity and complications of KT. The presence of T1D was associated with IHM (OR 2.6; 95% CI 1.36 to 5.16) when patients without diabetes were the reference category. However, T2D was not associated with a higher IHM (OR 0.86; 95% CI 0.61 to 1.2). CONCLUSIONS The COVID-19 pandemic led to a decrease in the number of transplants. Patients with T1D have more rejection of the transplanted organ than patients with T2D. Fewer women with T2D undergo KT. The presence of T1D is a risk factor for IHM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Whether the day of the week on which the child presents affects timely diagnosis and risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in children with new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) is not known. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We used data of 30,717 children with new-onset T1D during the last 10 years from the German Prospective Diabetes Registry. We determined the odds ratios of T1D diagnosis and DKA on a weekday, public holiday, and school vacation. RESULTS Compared with workdays, the odds ratios of being diagnosed with T1D were lower on weekends (0.39 [95% CI, 0.38-0.41]), public holidays (0.57 [0.53-0.63]), and school vacations (0.83 [0.80-0.85]). The odds of DKA diagnosis were also reduced on weekends (0.55 [0.52-0.59]), public holidays (0.73 [0.63-0.84]), and school vacations (0.85 [0.80-0.90]). Results did not change during the coronavirus 2019 pandemic. CONCLUSIONS New-onset T1D and DKA in children are more often diagnosed during weekdays than weekends and holidays.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare demographic, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics of children with type 1 diabetes age <6 years across three international registries: Diabetes Prospective Follow-Up Registry (DPV; Europe), T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Network (T1DX-QI; U.S.), and Australasian Diabetes Data Network (ADDN; Australasia). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS An analysis was conducted comparing 2019-2021 prospective registry data from 8,004 children. RESULTS Mean ± SD ages at diabetes diagnosis were 3.2 ± 1.4 (DPV and ADDN) and 3.7 ± 1.8 years (T1DX-QI). Mean ± SD diabetes durations were 1.4 ± 1.3 (DPV), 1.4 ± 1.6 (T1DX-QI), and 1.5 ± 1.3 years (ADDN). BMI z scores were in the overweight range in 36.2% (DPV), 41.8% (T1DX-QI), and 50.0% (ADDN) of participants. Mean ± SD HbA1c varied among registries: DPV 7.3 ± 0.9% (56 ± 10 mmol/mol), T1DX-QI 8.0 ± 1.4% (64 ± 16 mmol/mol), and ADDN 7.7 ± 1.2% (61 ± 13 mmol/mol). Overall, 37.5% of children achieved the target HbA1c of <7.0% (53 mmol/mol): 43.6% in DPV, 25.5% in T1DX-QI, and 27.5% in ADDN. Use of diabetes technologies such as insulin pump (DPV 86.6%, T1DX 46.6%, and ADDN 39.2%) and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM; DPV 85.1%, T1DX-QI 57.6%, and ADDN 70.5%) varied among registries. Use of hybrid closed-loop (HCL) systems was uncommon (from 0.5% [ADDN] to 6.9% [DPV]). CONCLUSIONS Across three major registries, more than half of children age <6 years did not achieve the target HbA1c of <7.0% (53 mmol/mol). CGM was used by most participants, whereas insulin pump use varied across registries, and HCL system use was rare. The differences seen in glycemia and use of diabetes technologies among registries require further investigation to determine potential contributing factors and areas to target to improve the care of this vulnerable group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a high prevalence and complex overlap between type 1 diabetes (T1D) and disordered eating. However, screening for disordered eating in children and young people (CYP) with T1D is not routinely conducted, with reluctance reported by both professionals and parents. This study aimed to validate a parent-reported version of a validated disordered eating screening tool for CYP with T1D (the Diabetes Eating Problems Survey-Revised; DEPS-R). METHODS The existing DEPS-R was adapted for parental use. Eighty-nine parents of CYP with T1D aged 11-14 years completed the parent-reported DEPS-R and other questionnaires related to demographics, child eating behaviours and parental well-being. CYP of parents were invited to participate, with 51 CYP completing the validated CYP-reported DEPS-R for comparison. RESULTS The parent-reported DEPS-R demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.89). Moderate to good inter-rater reliability was found between the parent-reported DEPS-R and CYP-reported DEPS-R (ICC 0.746, 95% CI = 0.554-0.855, p < 0.001), indicating good convergent validity. Construct validity with hypothesised variables, including specific eating behaviours, diabetes-related distress, well-being, CYP BMI, gender and parental worry about CYP disordered eating, suggested validity of the measure. However, some hypothesised variables did not significantly correlate with the parent-reported DEPS-R as expected. CONCLUSIONS The parent-reported DEPS-R has demonstrated good reliability and validity, and it may provide clinical benefit by increasing screening and early detection of disordered eating in CYP with T1D. Whilst novel and providing stepped increase in our knowledge, these findings would benefit from further validation (e.g. in a larger sample and responsiveness).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to compare two groups of celiac patients: the first one, in which diagnosis was based on a "biopsy sparing" approach according to the 2012 ESPGHAN criteria, and the second one, based on the biopsy approach like the one of the 1991 Revised Criteria, in order to find relevant difference for sex, M/F ratio, age at diagnosis, clinical features at the onset, presence and prevalence of concomitant autoimmune disorders. METHODS Our study involves 61 patients having the Celiac Disease (CD) onset from February 2013 to February 2020. The 32 patients who received diagnosis according "biopsy sparing" criteria were enrolled in group (1) The 29 patients who received diagnosis by duodenal biopsy were enrolled in group (2) Prevalence of comorbidities was analysed through chi-square test. RESULTS In group 1 the prevalence of comorbidities such as Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) and thyroiditis was of 53%, while in group 2 it was only of 24%. Analysing the IDDM prevalence between the two groups we found a relevant difference. At the same time, the prevalence of thyroiditis was also significantly different. In group 1, male patients, in particular, would seem to have a higher incidence of CD related autoimmune disorders. CONCLUSIONS An increased prevalence of IDDM, thyroiditis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in the first group would show that the "biopsy sparing" approach could expose patients to a greater length of disease activity that might be responsible for the onset of such comorbidities. Further studies should be carried out on more numerous samples of patients in order to confirm or not these data.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the prevalence and predictive factors for celiac disease (CD) after a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children and adolescents, to improve the current screening guidelines. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The association between sex, age at T1D diagnosis, HLA, and diabetes autoantibodies, and a diagnosis of CD was examined in 5,295 children with T1D from the Better Diabetes Diagnosis study in Sweden. RESULTS The prevalence of biopsy-proven CD was 9.8%, of which 58.2% already had a CD diagnosis before or at T1D onset. Almost all, 95.9%, were diagnosed with CD within 5 years after the T1D diagnosis. Younger age at the T1D diagnosis and being homozygote for DQ2 increased the risk of CD after T1D, but neither sex nor diabetes-related autoantibodies were associated with the risk. CONCLUSIONS Age at and time after diabetes diagnosis should be considered in screening guidelines for CD in children with T1D.

Abstract
AIM Socio-economic status (SES) influences diabetes onset, progression and treatment. In this study, the associations between SES and use of hospital care were assessed, focusing on hospitalizations, technology and cardiovascular complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was an observational cohort study comprising 196 695 patients with diabetes (all types and ages) treated in 65 hospitals across the Netherlands from 2019 to 2020 using reimbursement data. Patients were stratified in low, middle, or high SES based on residential areas derived from four-digit zip codes. RESULTS Children and adults with low SES were hospitalized more often than patients with middle or high SES (children: 22%, 19% and 15%, respectively; p < .001, adults: 28%, 25% and 23%; p < .001). Patients with low SES used the least technology: no technology in 48% of children with low SES versus 40% with middle SES and 38% with high SES. In children, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) use was higher in high SES {CSII: odds ratio (OR) 1.54 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.35-1.76]; p < .001; rtCGM OR 1.39 [95% CI 1.20-1.61]; p < .001} and middle SES [CSII: OR 1.41 (95% CI 1.24-1.62); p < .001; rtCGM: OR 1.27 (95% CI 1.09-1.47); p = .002] compared with low SES. Macrovascular (OR 0.78 (95% CI 0.75-0.80); p < .001) and microvascular complications [OR 0.95 (95% CI 0.93-0.98); p < .001] occurred less in high than in low SES. CONCLUSIONS Socio-economic disparities were observed in patients with diabetes treated in Dutch hospitals, where basic health care is covered. Patients with low SES were hospitalized more often, used less technology, and adults with high SES showed fewer cardiovascular complications. These inequities warrant attention to guarantee equal outcomes for all.

Abstract
Importance Youths with type 2 diabetes are at higher risk for complications compared with peers with type 1 diabetes, though few studies have evaluated differences in access to specialty care. Objective To compare claims with diabetes specialists for youths with type 1 vs type 2 diabetes and the association between specialist claims with multidisciplinary and acute care utilization. Design, Setting, and Participants This cross-sectional study used Optum Clinformatics Data Mart commercial claims. Individuals included in the study were youths younger than 19 years with type 1 or 2 diabetes as determined by a validated algorithm and prescription claims. Data were collected for youths with at least 80% enrollment in a commercial health plan from December 1, 2018, to December 31, 2019. Statistical analysis was performed from September 2022 to January 2024. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was the number of ambulatory claims from an endocrine and/or diabetes physician or advanced practice clinician associated with a diabetes diagnosis code; secondary outcomes included multidisciplinary and acute care claims. Results Claims were analyzed for 4772 youths (mean [SD] age, 13.6 [3.7] years; 4300 [90.1%] type 1 diabetes; 472 [9.9%] type 2 diabetes; 2465 [51.7%] male; 128 [2.7%] Asian, 303 [6.4] Black or African American, 429 [9.0%] Hispanic or Latino, 3366 [70.5%] non-Hispanic White, and 546 [11.4%] unknown race and ethnicity). Specialist claims were lower in type 2 compared with type 1 diabetes (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 0.61 [95% CI, 0.52-0.72]; P < .001) in propensity score-weighted analyses. The presence of a comorbidity was associated with increased specialist claims for type 1 diabetes (IRR, 1.07 [95% CI, 1.03-1.10]) and decreased claims for type 2 diabetes (IRR, 0.77 [95% CI, 0.67-0.87]). Pooling diagnosis groups and adjusted for covariates, each additional specialist claim was associated with increased odds of a claim with a diabetes care and education specialist (odds ratio [OR], 1.31 [95% CI, 1.25-1.36]), dietitian (OR, 1.14 [95% CI, 1.09-1.19]), and behavioral health clinician (OR, 1.16 [95% CI, 1.12-1.20]). For acute care claims, each additional specialist claim was associated with increased odds of admission (OR, 1.17 [95% CI, 1.11-1.24]) but not for emergency claims (OR, 1.03 [95% CI, 0.98-1.82]). Conclusions and Relevance This cross-sectional study found that youths with type 2 diabetes were significantly less likely to have specialist claims despite insurance coverage, indicating other barriers to care, which may include medical complexity. Access to diabetes specialists influences engagement with multidisciplinary services. The association between increasing ambulatory clinician services and admissions suggests high utilization by a subgroup of patients at greater risk for poor outcomes.

Abstract
AIMS We examined severe hospitalised hypoglycaemia (SHH) rates in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in Scotland during 2016-2022, stratifying by sociodemographics. METHODS Using the Scottish National diabetes register (SCI-Diabetes), we identified people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes alive anytime during 2016-2022. SHH events were determined through linkage to hospital admission and death registry data. We calculated annual SHH rates overall and by age, sex, and socioeconomic status. Summary estimates of time and stratum effects were obtained by fitting adjusted generalised additive models using R package mgcv. RESULTS Rates for those under 20 with type 1 diabetes reached their minimum at the 2020-2021 transition, 30% below the study period average. A gradual decline over time also occurred among 20-49-year-olds with type 1 diabetes. Overall, females had 15% higher rates than males with type 2 diabetes (rate ratio 1.15, 95% CI 1.08-1.22). People in the most versus least deprived quintile experienced 2.58 times higher rates (95% CI 2.27-2.93) in type 1 diabetes and 2.33 times higher (95% CI 2.08-2.62) in type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Despite advances in care, SHH remains a significant problem in diabetes. Future efforts must address the large socioeconomic disparities in SHH risks.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the clinical features and impact of flash glucose monitoring in older adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) across age groups defined as young-old, middle-old, and old-old. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinicians were invited to submit anonymized intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) user data to a secure web-based tool within the National Health Service secure network. We collected baseline data before isCGM initiation, such as demographics, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) values from the previous 12 months, Gold scores and Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS2) scores. For analysis, people with diabetes were classified as young-old (65-75 years), middle-old (>75-85 years) and old-old (>85 years). We compared baseline clinical characteristics across the age categories using a t test. All the analyses were performed in R 4.1.2. RESULTS The study involved 1171 people with diabetes in the young-old group, 374 in the middle-old group, and 47 in the old-old group. There were no significant differences in baseline HbA1c and DDS2 scores among the young-old, middle-old, and old-old age groups. However, Gold score increased with age (3.20 [±1.91] in the young-old vs. 3.46 [±1.94] in the middle-old vs. 4.05 [±2.28] in the old-old group; p < 0.0001). This study showed reduced uptake of insulin pumps (p = 0.005) and structured education (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating [DAFNE] course; p = 0.007) in the middle-old and old-old populations compared to the young-old population with T1D. With median isCGM use of 7 months, there was a significant improvement in HbA1c in the young-old (p < 0.001) and old-old groups, but not in the middle-old group. Diabetes-related distress score (measured by the DDS2) improved in all three age groups (p < 0.001) and Gold score improved (p < 0.001) in the young-old and old-old populations but not in the middle-old population. There was also a significant improvement in resource utilization across the three age categories following the use of is CGM. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated significant differences in hypoglycaemia awareness and insulin pump use across the older age groups of adults with T1D. The implementation of isCGM demonstrated significant improvements in HbA1c, diabetes-related distress, hypoglycaemia unawareness, and resource utilization in older adults with T1D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS To 1) assess the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID), PAID-5 and PAID-1 survey among Turkish adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, 2) estimate the level of elevated diabetes-specific distress (DD), and 3) determine the demographic and clinical correlates of DD-symptom severity. METHODS AND RESULTS From 2017-2019, 252 adults with type 1(n = 80) (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes (n = 172) (T2DM) self-reported demographic factors, DD(PAID) and related psychological and clinical questionnaires. We examined PAID internal consistency, structural and convergent validity. Associations of measures with DD were explored with hierarchical linear regression analysis. PCA yielded a 3-factor solution for PAID-20 and a 2-factor solution for PAID-5. Cronbach's α for PAID/PAID-5 subscales ranged from 0.63-0.90. All PAID versions correlated most strongly to BIPQ and HFS. The prevalence of elevated distress (PAID-20 ≥33) was 40% in T1DM and 15% in T2DM. DD severity was significantly positively associated (p < 0.01) with more negative diabetes perceptions (BIPQ) and type 1 diabetes. CONCLUSIONS The Turkish translation of the PAID and its short forms appeared to have satisfactory psychometric properties. Elevated diabetes distress was more common in T1DM.

Abstract
AIMS To determine contemporary incidence rates and risk factors for major adverse events in youth-onset T1D and T2D. METHODS Participant interviews were conducted once during in-person visits from 2018 to 2019 in SEARCH (T1D: N = 564; T2D: N = 149) and semi-annually from 2014 to 2020 in TODAY (T2D: N = 495). Outcomes were adjudicated using harmonized, predetermined, standardized criteria. RESULTS Incidence rates (events per 10,000 person-years) among T1D participants were: 10.9 ophthalmologic; 0 kidney; 11.1 nerve, 3.1 cardiac; 3.1 peripheral vascular; 1.6 cerebrovascular; and 15.6 gastrointestinal events. Among T2D participants, rates were: 40.0 ophthalmologic; 6.2 kidney; 21.2 nerve; 21.2 cardiac; 10.0 peripheral vascular; 5.0 cerebrovascular and 42.8 gastrointestinal events. Despite similar mean diabetes duration, complications were higher in youth with T2D than T1D: 2.5-fold higher for microvascular, 4.0-fold higher for macrovascular, and 2.7-fold higher for gastrointestinal disease. Univariate logistic regression analyses in T1D associated age at diagnosis, female sex, HbA1c and mean arterial pressure (MAP) with microvascular events. In youth-onset T2D, composite microvascular events associated positively with MAP and negatively with BMI, however composite macrovascular events associated solely with MAP. CONCLUSIONS In youth-onset diabetes, end-organ events were infrequent but did occur before 15 years diabetes duration. Rates were higher and had different risk factors in T2D versus T1D.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to describe the frequency of psychosocial risk and its associations with glycemic levels in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) seen by social work staff during regular clinical care. METHODS A retrospective longitudinal analysis of observational clinical data was conducted. Individuals (1-26 years) with known T1D who were seen at a pediatric diabetes clinic in a US academic medical center between 2014 and 2021 were included. Variables included psychosocial acuity, A1C, and demographic characteristics. Chi-square tests, Wilcoxon rank sum tests, and mixed linear regressions were used to examine associations between demographic variables, psychosocial acuity, and A1C. RESULTS Of 966 patients, 513 (53.1%) were male, 76 (7.9%) were non-Hispanic Black, and 804 (83.2%) were non-Hispanic White. There was a mean of 6.9 annual social work encounters per patient, with 3 psychosocial domains measured at each visit. Results showed that as psychosocial acuity level increased, glycemic control decreased. There were significant differences in A1C according to race/ethnicity, insurance, age, and psychosocial acuity. CONCLUSIONS In a real-world clinical population, psychosocial acuity was associated with glycemic control. Presenting for psychosocial issues in their diabetes clinic was associated with reduced glycemic control among youth with T1D. There is an opportunity to connect pediatric patients with appropriate mental health services and psychosocial supports.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the International SWEET registry and the possible role of clinical variables in modifying the risk of having single or multiple CVRFs. STUDY DESIGN The study is a cross-sectional study. Cut-off points for CVRFs were fixed according to International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) guidelines and WHO parameters: LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) > 100 mg/dL; Systolic Blood Pressure (BP-SDS) > 90th percentile for sex, age, and height; BMI-SDS > 2SD for sex and age. Logistic regression models were applied to evaluate variables associated with at least 1 or 2 CVRFs among registry children and adolescents. RESULTS 29,649 individuals with T1D (6-18 years, T1D ≥ 2 years) participating in the SWEET prospective multicenter diabetes registry were included. In the cohort, 41 % had one or more CVRFs, and 10 % had two or more CVRFs. Thirty-five percent of enrolled individuals had LDL-C > 100 mg/dL, 26 % had BMI-SDS > 2SD, and 17 % had Systolic BP-SDS > 90th percentile. Females had higher frequency than males of having 1 or 2 CVRFs (45.1 % vs 37.4 %, 11.8 % vs 7.8 %; p < 0.001). Multivariable logistic regression models showed that sex (female), HbA1c category (>7.0 %), and age (>10 years) were associated with a higher chance of having at least 1 or 2 CVRFs (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In children and adolescents with T1D, female sex, in addition to HbA1c above 7 %, and older age (>10 years) was associated with a higher risk of having at least a CVRF (LDL-C, BMI-SDS, BP) according to internationally defined cut-offs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of vitamin D on type 1 diabetes has been a controversial topic in public health. Furthermore, significant differences in the proportion of vitamin D have been noted. The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the overall proportion of vitamin D deficiency in children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS Based on six electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Ovid Medline, ProQuest, and Cochrane Library), eligible studies since the databases' inception up to April 2022 were searched. Reference lists were also manually searched to identify additional studies. Overall, studies with statistical information on vitamin D deficiency in children and adolescents with T1D were included, and a random effects model was applied for the meta-analysis. In addition, subgroup and sensitivity analyses were carried out to evaluate heterogeneity, and publication bias was evaluated by using Egger's test. RESULTS A total of 45 studies involving 6,995 participants met the inclusion criteria; these included 25 countries covering Africa, Oceania, Europe, North America and Asia. The proportion of vitamin D deficiency in children/adolescents with T1D was 45% (95% confidence interval [CI] 37-54%, I2 = 97.94%). Subgroup analysis further revealed that the publication year, study design, vitamin D classification, season and geographical region significantly contributed to the variation in the reported incidence of vitamin D deficiency. CONCLUSIONS The results of the meta-analysis showed that the proportion of vitamin D deficiency among T1D children/adolescents was 45%. In addition, the proportion remains higher, which has important implications for adapting health and social care systems.

Abstract
Objective Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Children with T1D have a similar or higher prevalence of being overweight (OW) or obese (Ob) compared to healthy peers. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of CVD risk factors in children and adolescents with T1D and the impact of obesity and sex differences on these factors. Methods Data of patients aged 10-21 years and who had been using intensive insulin therapy with a diagnosis of T1D for at least three years were evaluated. Patients were divided into normal weight (NW), OW and Ob groups based on body mass index percentiles. Risk factors for CVD (obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension) were compared between groups, and impact of gender was also analyzed. Results Data of 365 patients (200 girls, 54.8%), were evaluated. Prevalence of OW/Ob was 25.9% and was significantly higher in girls (30.6% vs 20.1%, p<0.001). Rate of hypertension was highest in OW/Ob girls followed by OW/Ob boys, and similar in NW girls and boys (p=0.003). Mean low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) and triglyceride (TG) levels were highest in OW/Ob girls, followed by OW/Ob boys, NW girls and NW boys, respectively (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). Mean high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c) levels were similar among groups. Rates of high LDL-c and TG were similar between OW/Ob girls and boys and higher than NW girls, followed by NW boys (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). The rate of low HDL-c was similar in OW/Ob girls and boys, and higher than NW girls, followed by NW boys (p<0.001). Overall, girls were 1.9 times more likely than boys to have two or more risk factors for CVD. Factors associated with risk for CVD in multiple logistic regression analyses were being a girl, followed by higher daily insulin dose, higher hemoglobin A1c, and longer duration of diabetes (r=0.856; p<0.001). Conclusion In spite of the increased prevalence for obesity in both sexes, the trend for CVD risk factors was greater in Ob girls, followed by Ob boys and NW girls. Girls with T1D are more likely to be OW/Ob and to have CVD risk than boys, highlighting the need for early intervention and additional studies to elucidate the causes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze the prevalence and progression of fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1D) in Qatar. METHODS This retrospective study analyzed consecutive index- diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) admissions (2015-2020) among patients with new-onset T1D (NT1D) in Qatar. RESULTS Of the 242 patients, 2.5% fulfilled the FT1D diagnostic criteria. FT1D patients were younger (median-age 4-years vs.15-years in classic-T1D). Gender distribution in FT1D was equal, whereas the classic-T1D group showed a female predominance at 57.6% (n = 136). FT1D patients had a mean C-peptide of 0.11 ± 0.09 ng/ml, compared to 0.53 ± 0.45 ng/ml in classic-T1D. FT1D patients had a median length of stay (LOS) of 1 day (1-2.2) and a DKA duration of 11.25 h (11-15). The median (length of stay) LOS and DKA duration in classic-T1D patients were 2.5 days (1-3.9) and 15.4 h (11-23), respectively. The FT1D subset primarily consisted of moderate (83.3%) and severe 916.7%) DKA, whereas classic T1D had 25.4% mild, 60.6% moderate, and 14% severe DKA cases. FT1D was associated with a higher median white cell count (22.3 × 103/uL) at admission compared to classic T1D (10.6 × 103/uL). ICU admission was needed for 66.6% of FT1D patients, compared to 38.1% of classic-T1D patients. None of the patients in the FT1D group had mortality, while two died in the classic-T1D group. CONCLUSION This is the first study establishing the existence of FT1D in ME, which presented distinctively from classic-T1D, exhibiting earlier age onset and higher critical care requirements. However, the clinical outcomes in patients with FT1D seem similar to classic T1D.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic autoimmune (type 1 diabetes and coeliac disease) and metabolic/cardiovascular (type 2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia, hypertension) diseases are highly prevalent across all age ranges representing a major public health burden. Universal screening for prediction/early identification of these conditions is a potential tool for reducing their impact on the general population. The aim of this study is to assess whether universal screening using capillary blood sampling is feasible at a population-based level. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a low-risk interventional, single-centre, pilot study for a population-based screening programme denominated UNISCREEN. Participants are volunteers aged 1-100 who reside in the town of Cantalupo (Milan, Italy) undergoing: (1) interview collecting demographics, anthropometrics and medical history; (2) capillary blood collection for measurement of type 1 diabetes and coeliac disease-specific autoantibodies and immediate measurement of glucose, glycated haemoglobin and lipid panel by point-of-care devices; (3) venous blood sampling to confirm autoantibody-positivity; (4) blood pressure measurement; (5) fulfilment of a feasibility and acceptability questionnaire. The outcomes are the assessment of feasibility and acceptability of capillary blood screening, the prevalence of presymptomatic type 1 diabetes and undiagnosed coeliac disease, distribution of glucose categories, lipid panel and estimate of cardiovascular risk in the study population. With approximately 3000 inhabitants, the screened population is expected to encompass at least half of its size, approaching nearly 1500 individuals. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This protocol and the informed consent forms have been reviewed and approved by the San Raffaele Hospital Ethics Committee (approval number: 131/INT/2022). Written informed consent is obtained from all study participants or their parents if aged <18. Results will be published in scientific journals and presented at meetings. CONCLUSIONS If proven feasible and acceptable, this universal screening model would pave the way for larger-scale programmes, providing an opportunity for the implementation of innovative public health programmes in the general population. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05841719.

Abstract
Obesity, a chronic low-grade inflammatory disease represented by multifactorial metabolic dysfunctions, is a significant global health threat for adults and children. The once-held belief that type 1 diabetes is a disease of people who are lean no longer holds. The mounting epidemiological data now establishes the connection between type 1 diabetes and the subsequent development of obesity, or vice versa. Beyond the consequences of the influx of an obesogenic environment, type 1 diabetes-specific biopsychosocial burden further exacerbates obesity. In the course of obesity management discussions, recurring challenges surfaced. The interplay between weight gain and escalating insulin dependence creates a vicious cycle from which patients struggle to break free. In the absence of weight management guidelines and regulatory approval for this population, healthcare professionals must navigate the delicate balance between benefits and risks. The gravity of this circumstance highlights the importance of bringing these topics to the forefront. In this Review, we discuss the changing trends and the biopsychosocial aspects of the intersection between type 1 diabetes and obesity. We highlight the evidence supporting the therapeutic means (i.e., exercise therapy, nutritional therapy, adjunct pharmacotherapy, and bariatric surgery) and directions for establishing a more robust and safer evidence-based approach.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the status quo of type 1 diabetes (T1D) management and characteristics of hospitalised patients with T1D in China through a nationwide multicentre registry study, the China Diabetes Type 1 Study (CD1S). MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical data from the electronic hospital records of all people with T1D were retrospectively collected in 13 tertiary hospitals across 7 regions of China from January 2016 to December 2021. Patients were defined as newly diagnosed who received a diagnosis of diabetes for less than 3 months. RESULTS Among the 4993 people with T1D, the median age (range) at diagnosis was 23.0 (1.0-87.0) years and the median disease duration was 2.0 years. The median haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level was 10.7%. The prevalence of obesity, overweight, dyslipidemia, and hypertension were 2.5%, 10.8%, 62.5% and 25.9%, respectively. The incidence rate of diabetic ketoacidosis at disease onset was 41.1%, with the highest in children <10 years of age (50.6%). In patients not newly diagnosed, 60.7% were diagnosed with at least one chronic diabetic complication, with the highest proportion (45.3%) of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Chronic complications were detected in 79.2% of people with T1D duration ≥10 years. CONCLUSIONS In the most recent years, there were still unsatisfactory metabolic control and high incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis as well as chronic diabetic complications among inpatients with T1D in China. The ongoing CD1S prospective study aims to improve the quality of T1D management nationally.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD occurs much earlier in people with T1D than in the general population, and several risk factors have been identified some of which are modifiable. Risk prediction models and imaging tests to detect early signs of CVD have not been extensively validated. Strategies to promote cardiovascular health (CVH) in T1D include identifying risk factors, early treatment to achieve CVH targets, and improving the education of health care providers and people with T1D.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The association of diabetes, and COVID-19 infection has been studied extensively; however, the occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hyperglycemic/hyperosmolar states (HHS) in adults during the lockdown has not been well characterized. In this study, we aimed to identify the impact of the lockdown on occurrence and severity of DKA/HHS admissions and glycemic management. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted of patients admitted to Hamilton Health Sciences with a diagnosis of DKA or HHS from April to September 2019 (pre-lockdown) and from April to September 2020 (lockdown). Adult (≥18 years old) nonpregnant patients with a single admission in the study period were included for study. RESULTS There were 229 admissions related to diabetes, with 171 admissions meeting the inclusion criteria (n=92 pre-lockdown, n=79 lockdown). In the lockdown group, 51.8% of the patients had type 2 diabetes mellitus, with 96.2% of admissions secondary to DKA. When comparing the 2 periods, the lockdown group trended toward higher rates of death (5.4% vs 10.1%, p=0.247) and euglycemic DKA (17.6% vs 24.4%, p=0.403). There were more new diagnoses of type 1 diabetes mellitus in the lockdown group compared with the pre-lockdown group (7.3% vs 16.7%, p=0.230). The average glycated hemoglobin was lower in the lockdown group compared with the pre-lockdown group (11.8% vs 10.4%, p=0.032). CONCLUSIONS Overall, this study is among the first in Canada to assess the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on admissions due to DKA and HHS. Although no significant differences were noted in severity of admissions, there was a trend toward more new diagnoses of type 1 diabetes mellitus presenting in DKA during the lockdown period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite evidence that continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use is associated with lower HbA1c among children with type 1 diabetes, uptake of this technology remains lower among those with difficulty accessing health care, including those from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds and racial and ethnic minorities. In this study, we sought to explore the impact of rural location in use of CGM technology to guide patient and provider decision making. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this retrospective study of electronic health record demographic and visits data from a single diabetes program from 1 January 2018 through 31 December 2021, we compared the odds of completing a visit with (+) and without (-) CGM interpretation between rural-urban commuting area (RUCA) designations. RESULTS Among the 13,645 visits completed by 2,008 patients with type 1 diabetes younger than age 18 years, we found children living in small rural towns had 31% lower odds (6.3% of CGM+ visits, 8.6% of CGM- visits; adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.69, 95% CI 0.51-0.94) and those living in isolated rural towns had 49% lower odds (2.0% of CGM+ visits, 3.4% of CGM- visits; aOR 0.51, 95% CI 0.28-0.92) of completing a CGM-billed clinic visit compared with those living in urban areas (70.0% of CGM+ visits, 67.2% of CGM- visits). We also found significant differences in CGM-billed visits by neighborhood deprivation as well as race/ethnicity and insurance payor. CONCLUSIONS Geographic location presents a meaningful barrier to access to care for patients living with type 1 diabetes. Further work is needed to identify and address the needs of children and families living in rural areas to improve the care of these patients.

Abstract
AIMS To determine the prevalence and associations of impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH) in pediatric type 1 diabetes. METHODS Nationwide, population-based cross-sectional study with 51 % participation. Participants (n = 1329; 53 % males) aged 2-19 years (median 13.3) with type 1 diabetes ≥ 6 months (median 4.6 years) self-assessed hypoglycemia awareness with a validated questionnaire ('Clarke'). Parents responded for children aged < 9 years (n = 235). We estimated associations between IAH and clinical data in the Norwegian Childhood Diabetes Registry. RESULTS The overall prevalence of IAH was 22 %, but gradually decreased from 53 % in preschoolers to 12 % in adolescents aged ≥ 16 years. IAH was associated (adjusted OR; 95 %CI) with episodes of severe hypoglycemia (6.0; 3.04, 11.8) and diabetic ketoacidosis (3.45; 1.37, 8.68) the preceding year, increased fear of hypoglycemia (highest quartile vs. lowest: 2.27; 1.51, 3.40), female sex (1.41; 1.05, 1.90), and HbA1c ≥ 8.5 % (69 mmol/mol) vs. 7.5-8.4 % (58-68 mmol/mol) (1.48; 1.01, 2.18), but not with disease duration, use of insulin pump or continuous glucose monitoring, or HbA1c < 7.5 % (58 mmol/mol). CONCLUSIONS IAH is prevalent in pediatric diabetes and more likely reported in young children. IAH is associated with severe hypoglycemia and fear of hypoglycemia, but good metabolic control seems achievable without increased risk of IAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adherence to insulin therapy is crucial to achieving good glycemic control for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D). A comprehensive estimation of adherence to insulin therapy in patients with diabetes is currently lacking. OBJECTIVE To explore the prevalence of adherence to insulin therapy in patients with both T1D and T2D. METHODS A systematic search was performed using the following databases: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane CENTRAL, and ProQuest Dissertation and Theses from the inception of each database to August 2023. Cross-sectional studies were included if they met the following criteria: (1) conducted in patients with T1D or T2D; (2) reported adherence to insulin therapy. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist for studies reporting prevalence data was used to assess the quality of included studies. Pooled estimates of the prevalence of adherence to insulin were calculated as a percentage together with a 95 % confidence interval (95%CI) using a random-effect model. All analyses were conducted using STATA 15 (College Station, Texas, United States); PROSPERO (CRD42022322323). RESULTS Search results yielded 14,914 articles, of these 57 studies with a total of 125,241 patients met the inclusion criteria. The overall estimated prevalence of adherence to insulin therapy in both types of diabetes was 55.37 % (95%CI: 48.55 %-62.19 %). The adherence for T1D was 52.63 % (95 % CI: 37.37 %-67.87 %), whereas the adherence for T2D was 52.55 % (95 % CI: 43.08 %-62.01 %). The prevalence of adherence in lower middle-income countries was 56.79 % (95 % CI: 27.85 %-85.74 %). CONCLUSIONS The overall prevalence of adherence to insulin therapy was remarkably low. This requires attention from healthcare practitioners and policymakers to implement appropriate strategic approaches to improve adherence to insulin therapy.

Abstract
AIMS To explore the relationship between preconception severe hypoglycemia (PSH) and pregnancy outcomes in pregnancies complicated with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this multicenter prospective cohort study, women with pregestational T1DM were stratified by episodes of severe hypoglycemia within 1 year before conception: No PSH, sporadic PSH (1-6 times/year), and recurrent PSH (>6 times/year). We analysed the predictive ability of PSH for maternal and neonatal outcomes using log-binomial regression models and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. RESULTS Of the 124 women studied, 37.1% experienced at least one episode of severe hypoglycemia preconception. In the multiple adjusted regression models, recurrent PSH was significantly associated with increased incidence of preeclampsia (RR 17.59, 95% CI: 2.89-150.62, p for trend = 0.007), preterm birth (RR 6.34, 95% CI: 1.22-40.63, p for trend = 0.027), neonatal hypoglycemia (RR 4.52, 95% CI: 1.14-17.16, p for trend = 0.017), neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (RR 4.12, 95% CI: 1.11-15.56, p for trend = 0.004), and composite neonatal outcome (RR 3.85, 95% CI: 1.01-19.61, p for trend = 0.003). In the ROC analysis, PSH predicted preeclampsia, preterm birth, neonatal hypoglycemia, neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, and composite neonatal outcome with areas under the ROC curve all ≥0.6. CONCLUSIONS Recurrent preconception severe hypoglycemia is associated with increased risks of adverse outcomes in pregnant women with T1DM.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the prevalence of heart failure (HF) in patients with diabetes in tertiary care, and the implementation of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i). METHODS Between 28.09.2020 and 31.03.2022, patients enrolled in the Swiss Diabetes Registry at one study centre were screened for HF based on the recommendations by the European Society of Cardiology. Indicated patients were referred for echocardiography and a clinical evaluation of HF, further stratified by preserved (HFpEF), mildly reduced (HFmrEF), and reduced (HFrEF) left ventricular ejection fraction. RESULTS In total, 534 patients were screened (31.5%, type 1 diabetes (T1D); 59.7%, type 2 diabetes (T2D); 8.8%, other forms). Overall, HF was present in 11.2% (HFpEF, 56.7%; HFmrEF, 11.7%; HFrEF, 31.7%). Prevalence by diabetes type was 2.4%, T1D; 16.0%, T2D; and 10.6%, other forms. Of the identified cases, 40.0% were previously diagnosed and 60.0% were diagnosed as a result of the screening. Of the 24 patients with previously known HF, 50.0% were prescribed SGLT2i (including 2 out of 3 patients with HFrEF). CONCLUSIONS The fact that most cases of HF were previously undiagnosed and treatment with SGLT2i could be improved highlights the need to increase awareness of HF among healthcare professionals treating patients with diabetes.

Abstract
AIM To better understand the prevalence of self-reported psychosocial burdens and the unmet needs identified by people with diabetes in relation to routine diabetes visits. METHODS An English language, online survey was distributed via social media, key stakeholder networks, charity and advocacy groups to adults with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes. Survey items were designed by members of the FDA RESCUE Collaborative Community Governing Committee prior to pilot testing with potential participants. Descriptive statistical analyses were conducted, as well as thematic analyses on free-text responses using NVivo v14. RESULTS Four hundred and seventy-eight participants completed the survey: 373 (78%) had type 1 diabetes, 346 (73%) identified as a woman and 433 (91%) were white. Most participants had experienced self-reported (rather than diagnosed) anxiety and depression (n = 323 and n = 313, respectively), as well as fear of low blood sugars (n = 294), low mood (n = 290) and diabetes-related distress (n = 257). Sixty-eight percent reported that diabetes had negatively affected self-esteem, 62% reported the feelings of loneliness, but 93% reported that friends/family/work colleagues were supportive when needed. Two hundred and seventy-two percent (57%) reported that their diabetes team had never raised the topic of mental health. The overwhelming majority stated that the best thing their diabetes team could do to help was to simply ask about mental well-being, listen with empathy and without judgement, and practice skills to understand psychosocial issues in diabetes. CONCLUSION Integrating psychosocial discussions and support within routine healthcare visits is crucial to improve outcomes for people with diabetes. Such a biopsychosocial model of healthcare has long been advocated by regulatory bodies.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to determine the global incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in children and adolescents under 20 years of age from 2000 to 2022. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two reviewers searched three electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL) for studies published between January 2000 and November 2022. Pooled estimates of T1DM incidence with a 95% confidence interval (CI) per 100,000 person-years were calculated by country/region, sex, age, and COVID-19 pandemic period (pre-COVID-19 and pandemic). RESULTS The study included 126 studies from 55 countries and 18 regions. The incidence rate (IR) of T1DM from 2000 to 2022 was 14.07 (95%CI, 12.15-16.29) per 100,000 person-years. Finland and high-income North America had the highest IR, with 56.81 (95%CI, 55.91-57.73) and 28.77 (95%CI, 26.59-31.13) per 100,000 person-years, respectively. The IR was 13.37 (95%CI, 10.60-16.88) per 100,000 person-years in boys and 13.87 (95%CI, 11.51-16.70) per 100,000 person-years in girls. There were statistically significant differences among different age ranges: 0-4 versus 5-9 and 10-14 years old (p < 0.001); 5-9 versus 15-19 (p < 0.001) and 10-14 versus 15-19 years old (p = 0.003). Finally, during the pandemic period (2020-2022), the IR was 24.84 (95%CI, 17.16-35.96) per 100,000 person-years, which was higher but not significant compared with the prepandemic period (2017-2019) of 13.56 (95%CI, 7.49-24.56) per 100,000 person-years (p = 0.090). CONCLUSIONS The IR of T1DM in children and adolescents under 20 years of age is substantial, especially during the pandemic period, although it varies across regions. More reliable data from additional countries are needed to determine the worldwide incidence of T1DM.

Abstract
PURPOSE Considering the high prevalence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) together with the importance of improved physical growth and the significance of promoting healthcare quality among T1DM children, this meta-analysis aims to determine mean final height in this population group. METHODS We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane databases for all studies published until May 2023 and reviewed references of published articles. Meta-analytic procedures were used to estimate the effect size (mean final height Z-score) among T1DM children in a random effects model. Significance values, weighted effect sizes, 95% CIs, and tests of homogeneity of variance were calculated. The included studies consisted of data from 3274 patients. RESULTS The mean final height Z-score for T1DM children was -0.201 (n = 25 studies, 95% CI: -0.389, -0.013; I2 = 97%), -0.262 in males (n = 20 studies, 95% CI: -0.539, 0.015, I2 = 97.1%), and -0.218 in females (n = 18 studies, 95% CI: -0.436, 0, I2 = 94.2%). The non-significant negative association between age at diagnosis, HbA1c levels, and final height Z-score is suggested by the findings of the univariate meta-regression. CONCLUSION Our findings indicated that children with T1DM have impaired linear growth and that monitoring of growth in these patient populations is an important issue in the management of T1DM. Due to a scarcity of studies providing data on the relationship between uncontrolled diabetes (increased HbA1c) and early diagnosis and final height, further investigation is warranted to determine whether there is indeed a correlation. Consequently, any conclusion regarding the association between uncontrolled diabetes (elevated HbA1c), early diagnosis of T1DM, and the increased risk of impaired linear growth or final height remains uncertain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A decline in sleep quality and regularity has been reported in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) in many studies. However, research on medical-based sleep disorders in patients with T1D is limited. Diagnosing sleep disorders is crucial, as it negatively impacts academic performance, cardiovascular health, and cognitive functions among children as well as essential skills for effective diabetes management. Our objective was to assess sleep disturbances in patients diagnosed with T1D and explore whether these patients experience significantly more sleep disturbances compared to their healthy peers. METHODS This study, designed as a cross-sectional case-control investigation, involved a cohort of 250 participants (144 T1D, 106 control cases) aged 6-15 years. The Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDCS) scores of the T1D group were compared with those of the control group. Furthermore, the study explored the correlation between clinical/biochemical parameters and SDCS scores within the T1D group. RESULTS The mean age of individuals in the T1D group was 10.27 ± 3.25 years, while the control group had a comparable mean age of 10.48 ± 3.5 years (P = 0.303). Within the T1D group, the median duration of diabetes was 5 (1-15) years, and the median glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level for the past one year was 8.4 %. Although there was no significant difference in total SDSC scores between the T1D and control groups, both groups exhibited average scores that remained close to the threshold indicative of sleep disturbances (>39). Notably, individuals with total SDSC scores surpassing 39 were identified at rates of 48.6 % in the T1D group and 47.6 % in the control group, respectively. Furthermore, disorders of arousal nightmares (DA) were more prevalent in T1D patients compared to their healthy peers (P = 0.049). Additionally, HbA1c showed a positive correlation with scores for disorders of excessive somnolence (DOES) and total scores (P < 0.001, R = 0.368; P = 0.003, R = 0.243). CONCLUSION Our study found that the prevalence of sleep disturbances among children and adolescents with T1D was not significantly higher than that observed in their healthy peers. Nevertheless, it is crucial to note that a notable portion, 48.6 % of T1D cases and 47.6 % of healthy cases, displayed sleep disturbances based on SDSC scores. To optimize diabetes management and proactively address potential challenges, incorporating routine screening for sleep disturbances in the monitoring of T1D patients can yield valuable benefits.

Abstract
AIMS To analyse predictors for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use in people with diabetes aged ≥60 years using insulin therapy and to assess the rates of CGM use during recent years (2019-2021). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Prospective study including 6849 individuals with diabetes and insulin therapy (type 2 diabetes: n = 5320; type 1 diabetes: n = 1529) aged ≥60 years. Data from 129 treatment centres were retrieved from the Diabetes Prospective Follow-up Registry (DPV) in March 2023. RESULTS Sensor use in individuals aged ≥60 years has increased in type 1 (2019: 28%, 2020: 39%, 2021: 45%) and type 2 diabetes (2019: 10%, 2020: 16%, 2021: 18%). Predictors for sensor use in older individuals with type 1 diabetes are younger age and CSII use (p < 0.001). Predictors in older individuals with type 2 diabetes are younger age, longer diabetes duration, higher BMI and CSII use (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS CGM has become more common in older adults with diabetes and will presumably increase further. Age is a predictor for sensor use in older adults with diabetes. Age-related physical barriers and insufficient usability of devices, lack of interest in technologies, but possibly also effects of prejudice on the grounds of age may contribute to this finding.

Abstract
PURPOSE People with pediatric and early adulthood type 1 diabetes (T1D) might have a higher fracture risk at several sites compared to the general population. Therefore, we assessed the hazard ratios (HR) of various fracture sites and determined the risk factors associated with fractures among people with newly diagnosed childhood and adolescence T1D. METHODS All people from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink GOLD (1987-2017), below 20 years of age with a T1D diagnosis code (n = 3100) and a new insulin prescription, were included and matched 1:1 by sex, age, and practice to a control without diabetes. Cox regression was used to estimate HRs of any, major osteoporotic fractures (MOFs) and peripheral fractures (lower-arm and lower-legs) for people with T1D compared to controls. The analyses were adjusted for sex, age, diabetic complications, medication (glucocorticoids, anti-depressants, anxiolytics, bone medication, anti-convulsive), Charlson-comorbidity-index (CCI), hypoglycemia, falls and alcohol. T1D was further stratified by diabetes duration, presence of diabetic microvascular complications (retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy) and boys versus girls. RESULTS The crude HRs for any fracture (HR: 1.30, CI95%: 1.11-1.51), lower-arm (HR: 1.22, CI95%: 1.00-1.48), and lower-leg fractures (HR: 1.54, CI95%: 1.11-2.13) were statistically significant increase in T1D compared to controls, but the effect disappeared in the adjusted analyses. For MOFs, no significant differences were seen. Risk factors in the T1D cohort were few, but the most predominantly one was a previous fracture (any fracture: HR: 2.00, CI95%: 1.70-2.36; MOFs: HR: 1.89, CI95%: 1.44-2.48, lower- arm fractures: HR: 2.08, CI95%: 1.53-2.82 and lower-leg fractures: HR: 2.08, CI95%: 1.34-3.25). Others were a previous fall (any fracture: HR: 1.54, CI95%: 1.20-1.97), hypoglycemia (Any fracture: HR: 1.46, CI95%: 1.21-1.77 and lower-leg fractures: HR: 2.34, CI95%: 1.47-3.75), and anxiolytic medication (Any fracture: HR: 1.52, CI95%: 1.10-2.11). Whereas girls had a lower risk compared to boys (Any fracture: HR: 0.78, CI95%: 0.67-0.90 and lower-arm fractures; HR: 0.51, CI95%: 0.38-0.68). The risk of any fracture in T1D did not increase with longer diabetes duration compared to controls (0-4 years: HR: 1.20, CI95%: 1.00-1.44; 5-9 years: HR: 1.17, CI95%: 0.91-1.50; <10 years: HR: 0.83, CI95%: 0.54-1.27). Similar patterns were observed for other fracture sites. Furthermore, one complication compared to none in T1D correlated with a higher fracture risk (1 complication: HR: 1.42, CI95%: 1.04-1.95). CONCLUSION The overall fracture risk was not increased in pediatric and early adulthood T1D; instead, it was associated with familiar risk factors and specific diabetes-related ones.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION An overrepresentation of epilepsy has been suggested in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate if type 1 diabetes is associated with a higher incidence of epilepsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Longitudinal observational studies which are relevant to the purpose of the meta-analysis were screened and obtained by searching PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases. Random-effects models were used when significant heterogeneity was observed; otherwise, fixed-effects models were used. RESULTS Six observational studies involving 10 datasets of 8,001,899 participants were included, with six datasets including children and only one dataset including older people. Among them, 100,414 (1.25%) had type 1 diabetes. During the follow-up duration of 5.4-15.2 years (mean: 9.5 years), 98,644 cases (1.23%) of epilepsy were observed. Compared with participants with normoglycemia, those with type 1 diabetes were shown to have a higher incidence of epilepsy (risk ratio [RR]: 2.41, 95% confidence interval 1.69-3.44, P < 0.001; I2 = 95%) after adjustment of potential confounding variables including age and sex. Subgroup analysis showed consistent results in nested case-control and retrospective cohort studies, and in studies of children, non-elderly adult, and older participants (P for subgroup difference = 0.42 and 0.07). In addition, a stronger association of type 1 diabetes and epilepsy was suggested in studies with follow-up duration <10 years compared with those ≥10 years (RR: 3.34 vs 1.61, P for subgroup difference < 0.001). CONCLUSION Patients with type 1 diabetes may have a higher risk of epilepsy, which was mainly driven by datasets including children.

Abstract
AIMS Suboptimal glycaemic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes is prevalent and associated with increased risk of diabetes-related complications and mortality later in life. First, we aimed to identify distinct glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) trajectories in children and adolescents (2-19 years) with type 1 diabetes. Second, we examined their associations with clinical and socio-demographic factors. METHODS Data were obtained from the Danish Registry of Childhood and Adolescent Diabetes (DanDiabKids) comprising all Danish children and adolescents diagnosed with type 1 diabetes from 1996 to 2019. Subgroups of distinct mean trajectories of HbA1c were identified using data-driven latent class trajectory modelling. RESULTS A total of 5889 children (47% female) had HbA1c measured a median of 6 times (interquartile range 3-8) and contributing to 36,504 measurements. We identified four mean HbA1c trajectories, referred to as 'Stable but elevated HbA1c' (83%), 'Increasing HbA1c' (5%), 'Late HbA1c peak' (7%), and 'Early HbA1c peak' (5%). Compared to the 'Stable but elevated HbA1c' group, the three other groups presented rapidly deteriorating glycaemic control during late childhood or adolescence, had higher HbA1c at study entry, and included fewer pump users, higher frequency of inadequate blood glucose monitoring, more severe hypoglycaemic events, lower proportions with Danish origin, and worse educational status of parents. The groups also represented significant differences by healthcare region. CONCLUSIONS Children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes experience heterogenous trajectories with different timings and magnitudes of the deterioration of HbA1c levels, although the majority follow on average a stable, yet elevated HbA1c trajectory. The causes and long-term health implications of these heterogenous trajectories need to be addressed.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic disrupted health care, creating challenges for people with diabetes and health care systems. Diabetes was recognized as a risk factor for severe disease early in the pandemic. Subsequently, risk factors specific for people with type 1 diabetes were identified, including age, hemoglobin A1c level, and lack of continuous glucose monitoring . Telemedicine, especially when accompanied by diabetes data, allowed effective remote care delivery. However, pre-existing racial disparities in access to diabetes technology persisted and were associated with worse outcomes. Events of the COVID-19 pandemic underscore the importance of continuing to develop flexible and more equitable health care delivery systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), identified by the Fatty Liver Index (FLI), is associated with increased mortality and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes. Whether this also applies to type 1 diabetes (T1D) has not been yet reported. METHODS We prospectively observed 774 subjects with type 1 diabetes (males 52%, 30.3 ± 11.1 years old, diabetes duration (DD) 18.5 ± 11.6 years, HbA1c 7.8 ± 1.2%) to assess the associations between FLI (based on BMI, waist circumference, gamma-glutamyl transferase and triglycerides) and all-cause death and first CV events. RESULTS Over a median 11-year follow-up, 57 subjects died (7.4%) and 49 CV events (6.7%) occurred among 736 individuals with retrievable incidence data. At baseline, FLI was < 30 in 515 subjects (66.5%), 30-59 in 169 (21.8%), and ≥ 60 in 90 (11.6%). Mortality increased steeply with FLI: 3.9, 10.1, 22.2% (p < 0.0001). In unadjusted Cox analysis, compared to FLI < 30, risk of death increased in FLI 30-59 (HR 2.85, 95% CI 1.49-5.45, p = 0.002) and FLI ≥ 60 (6.07, 3.27-11.29, p < 0.0001). Adjusting for Steno Type 1 Risk Engine (ST1-RE; based on age, sex, DD, systolic BP, LDL cholesterol, HbA1c, albuminuria, eGFR, smoking and exercise), HR was 1.52 (0.78-2.97) for FLI 30-59 and 3.04 (1.59-5.82, p = 0.001) for FLI ≥ 60. Inclusion of prior CV events slightly modified HRs. FLI impact was confirmed upon adjustment for EURODIAB Risk Engine (EURO-RE; based on age, HbA1c, waist-to-hip ratio, albuminuria and HDL cholesterol): FLI 30-59: HR 1.24, 0.62-2.48; FLI ≥ 60: 2.54, 1.30-4.95, p = 0.007), even after inclusion of prior CVD. CV events incidence increased with FLI: 3.5, 10.5, 17.2% (p < 0.0001). In unadjusted Cox, HR was 3.24 (1.65-6.34, p = 0.001) for FLI 30-59 and 5.41 (2.70-10.83, p < 0.0001) for FLI ≥ 60. After adjustment for ST1-RE or EURO-RE, FLI ≥ 60 remained statistically associated with risk of incident CV events, with trivial modification with prior CVD inclusion. CONCLUSIONS This observational prospective study shows that FLI is associated with higher all-cause mortality and increased risk of incident CV events in type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Seasonal environment at birth may influence diabetes incidence in later life. We sought evidence for this effect and analyzed the association between the month of birth and the risk of developing type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS This was a cohort study carried out with 814 patients diagnosed with T1DM in the region of Bauru - São Paulo State, Brazil, receiving medical care in a private Endocrinology clinic or in the public Brazilian National Health Care System, from 1981 to 2021. All live births that occurred in São Paulo State between 1974 and 2020 were classified by month of birth and were considered as the control group. RESULTS We found no statistically significant difference (χ2=16.31, critical 19.68) between the month of birth and risk of developing T1DM, when comparing our patients with the background population of the region. There was no association between the month of birth, sex, age at diagnosis, duration of symptoms before diagnosis, self-reported color, and socioeconomic status. CONCLUSIONS We found no association between month of birth and the risk of developing T1DM in this highly admixed South American population. Our data suggest that our population heterogeneity and geographic location may be important factors in the development of T1DM. Future prospective studies, evaluating environmental factors that may confer risk or protection to the disease, are warranted.

Abstract
CONTEXT Although physical activity (PA) is recognized to reduce fracture risk, whether its benefits differ according to glycemic status remains unknown. OBJECTIVE We investigated the effect of PA on incident hip fracture (HF) according to glycemic status. METHODS We studied 3 723 097 patients older than 50 without type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) or past fractures. HF risks were calculated using Cox proportional hazard regression. Participants were categorized by glycemic status into 5 groups: normal glucose tolerance, impaired fasting glucose, new-onset type 2 DM, type 2 DM less than 5 years, and type 2 DM of 5 years or greater. PA was evaluated using the Korean adaptation of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form. RESULTS The highest HF risk were associated with the lowest PA level (<500 metabolic equivalent task [MET]-min/wk). While similar risks emerged across MET 500 to 1000, 1000 to 1500, and greater than 1500 categories, the relationship showed variations in different glycemic status groups. Exceptions were particularly noted in women with normoglycemia. However, a consistent inverse pattern, with few exceptions, was observed both in men and women with type 2 DM of 5 years or greater. Furthermore, the benefit of PA in the prevention of HFs was most evident in participants with type 2 DM of 5 years or greater. Compared to the reference group (lowest physical activity level <500 MET-min/wk within type 2 DM ≥5 years), the adjusted hazard ratios were 0.74 (0.62-0.88) in men and 0.74 (0.62-0.89) in women, suggesting a significant reduction in risk. CONCLUSION Higher PA levels are associated with a lower risk of HF. This protective effect of PA on fracture risk is greatest in patients with DM, particularly in those with DM of 5 years or greater.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While the frequency of islet antibody-negative (idiopathic) type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is reported to be increased in Indian children, its aetiology has not been studied. We investigated the role of monogenic diabetes in the causation of islet antibody-negative T1DM. METHODS We conducted a multicenter, prospective, observational study of 169 Indian children (age 1-18 years) with recent-onset T1DM. All were tested for antibodies against GAD65, islet antigen-2, and zinc transporter 8 using validated ELISA. Thirty-four islet antibody-negative children underwent targeted next-generation sequencing for 31 genes implicated in monogenic diabetes using the Illumina platform. All mutations were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS Thirty-five (21%) children were negative for all islet antibodies. Twelve patients (7% of entire cohort, 34% of patients with islet antibody-negative T1DM) were detected to have pathogenic or likely pathogenic genetic variants. The most frequently affected locus was WFS1, with 9 patients (5% of entire cohort, 26% of islet antibody-negative). These included 7 children with homozygous and 1 patient each with a compound heterozygous and heterozygous mutation. Children with Wolfram syndrome 1 (WS) presented with severe insulin-requiring diabetes (including 3 patients with ketoacidosis), but other syndromic manifestations were not detected. In 3 patients, heterozygous mutations in HNF4A, ABCC8, and PTF1A loci were detected. CONCLUSION Nearly one-quarter of Indian children with islet antibody-negative T1DM had recessive mutations in the WFS1 gene. These patients did not exhibit other features of WS at the time of diagnosis. Testing for monogenic diabetes, especially WS, should be considered in Indian children with antibody-negative T1DM.
