RESUMEN
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of chronic complications with time in tight range (TITR: 3.9-7.8 mmol/l) and time in range (TIR: 3.9-10.0 mmol/l) in people with type 1 diabetes. METHODS: The prevalence of microvascular complications (diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy and diabetic peripheral neuropathy [DPN]) and macrovascular complications according to sensor-measured TITR/TIR was analysed cross-sectionally in 808 adults with type 1 diabetes. Binary logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between TITR/TIR and the presence of complications without adjustment, with adjustment for HbA1c, and with adjustment for HbA1c and other confounding factors (sex, age, diabetes duration, BMI, BP, lipid profile, smoking, and use of statins and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors). RESULTS: The mean TITR and TIR were 33.9 ± 12.8% and 52.5 ± 15.0%, respectively. Overall, 46.0% had any microvascular complication (34.5% diabetic retinopathy, 23.8% diabetic nephropathy, 16.0% DPN) and 16.3% suffered from any macrovascular complication. The prevalence of any microvascular complication, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy and a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) decreased with increasing TITR/TIR quartiles (all ptrend<0.05). Each 10% increase in TITR was associated with a lower incidence of any microvascular complication (OR 0.762; 95% CI 0.679, 0.855; p<0.001), diabetic retinopathy (OR 0.757; 95% CI 0.670, 0.856; p<0.001), background diabetic retinopathy (OR 0.760; 95% CI 0.655, 0.882; p<0.001), severe diabetic retinopathy (OR 0.854; 95% CI 0.731, 0.998; p=0.048), diabetic nephropathy (OR 0.799; 95% CI 0.699, 0.915; p<0.001), DPN (OR 0.837; 95% CI 0.717, 0.977; p=0.026) and CVA (OR 0.651; 95% CI 0.470, 0.902; p=0.010). The independent association of TITR with any microvascular complication (OR 0.867; 95% CI 0.762, 0.988; p=0.032), diabetic retinopathy (OR 0.837; 95% CI 0.731, 0.959; p=0.010), background diabetic retinopathy (OR 0.831; 95% CI 0.705, 0.979; p=0.027) and CVA (OR 0.619; 95% CI 0.426, 0.899; p=0.012) persisted after adjustment for HbA1c. Similar results were obtained when controlling for HbA1c and other confounding factors. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: TITR and TIR are inversely associated with the presence of microvascular complications and CVA in people with type 1 diabetes. Although this study was not designed to establish a causal relationship, this analysis adds validity to the use of TITR and TIR as key measures in glycaemic management. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02601729 and NCT02898714.

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to assess the long-term cost-effectiveness of Dexcom G6 real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) with alert functionality compared with FreeStyle Libre 1 intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) without alerts in adults with type 1 diabetes in Belgium. METHODS: The IQVIA CORE Diabetes Model was used to estimate cost-effectiveness. Input data for the simulated baseline cohort were sourced from the randomised ALERTT1 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov. REGISTRATION NO: NCT03772600). The age of the participants was 42.9 ± 14.1 years (mean ± SD), and the baseline HbA1c was 57.8 ± 9.5 mmol/mol (7.4 ± 0.9%). Participants using rtCGM showed a reduction in HbA1c of 3.6 mmol/mol (0.36 percentage points) based on the 6-month mean between-group difference. In the base case, both rtCGM and isCGM were priced at 3.92/day (excluding value-added tax [VAT]) according to the Belgian reimbursement system. The analysis was performed from a Belgian healthcare payer perspective over a lifetime time horizon. Health outcomes were expressed as quality-adjusted life years. Probabilistic and one-way sensitivity analyses were used to account for parameter uncertainty. RESULTS: In the base case, rtCGM dominated isCGM, resulting in lower diabetes-related complication costs and better health outcomes. The associated main drivers favouring rtCGM were lower HbA1c, fewer severe hypoglycaemic events and reduced fear of hypoglycaemia. The results were robust under a wide range of one-way sensitivity analyses. In models where the price of rtCGM is 5.11/day (a price increase of 30.4%) or 12.34/day (a price increase of 214.8%), rtCGM was cost-neutral or reached an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of 40,000 per quality-adjusted life year, respectively. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: When priced similarly, Dexcom G6 rtCGM with alert functionality has both economic and clinical benefits compared with FreeStyle Libre 1 isCGM without alerts in adults with type 1 diabetes in Belgium, and appears to be a cost-effective glucose monitoring modality. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03772600.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: There have been many developments in diabetes technology in recent years, with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin pump therapy (CSII) and automated insulin delivery (AID) becoming progressively accepted in outpatient diabetes care. However, the use of such advanced diabetes technology in the inpatient setting is still limited for several reasons, including logistical challenges and staff training needs. On the other hand, hospital settings with altered diet and stress-induced hyperglycemia often pose challenges to tight glycemic control using conventional treatment tools. Integrating smarter glucose monitoring and insulin delivery devices into the increasingly technical hospital environment could reduce diabetes-related morbidity and mortality. This narrative review describes the most recent literature on the use of diabetes technology in the hospital and suggests avenues for further research. RECENT FINDINGS: Advanced diabetes technology has the potential to improve glycemic control in hospitalized people with and without diabetes, and could add particular value in certain conditions, such as nutrition therapy or perioperative management. Taken together, CGM allows for more accurate and patient-friendly follow-up and ad hoc titration of therapy. AID may also provide benefits, including improved glycemic control and reduced nursing workload. Before advanced diabetes technology can be used on a large scale in the hospital, further research is needed on efficacy, accuracy and safety, while implementation factors such as cost and staff training must also be overcome.

The HLA region is the major genetic risk determinant of Type 1 diabetes. How non-HLA loci contribute to the genetic risk is incompletely understood, but there are indications that at least some impact progression of asymptomatic autoimmunity. We examined whether SNPs in 7 susceptibility loci (INS, SH2B3, PTPN2, PTPN22, CTLA4, CLEC16A, and IL2RA) could improve prediction of the progression from single to multiple autoantibody positivity, and from there on to diagnosis. SNPs were genotyped in persistently autoantibody positive relatives by allelic discrimination qPCR and disease progression was studied by multivariate Cox regression analysis. In our cohort, only the CTLA4 GA genotype (rs3087243, P = 0.002) and the CLEC16A AA genotype (rs12708716, P = 0.021) were associated with accelerated progression from single to multiple autoantibody positivity, but their effects were restricted to presence of HLA-DQ2/DQ8, and IAA as first autoantibody, respectively. The interaction of CTLA4 and HLA-DQ2/DQ8 overruled the effect of DQ2/DQ8 alone. The HLA-DQ2/DQ8-mediated risk of progression to multiple autoantibodies nearly entirely depended on heterozygosity for CTLA4. The SH2B3 TT genotype (rs3184504) was protective for HLA-DQ8 positive subjects (P = 0.003). At the stage of multiple autoantibodies, only the CTLA4 GA genotype was a minor independent risk factor for progression towards clinical diabetes (P = 0.034). Our study shows that non-HLA polymorphisms impact progression of islet autoimmunity in a subgroup-, stage- and SNP-specific way, suggesting distinct mechanisms. If confirmed, these findings may help refine risk assessment, follow-up, and prevention trials in risk groups.

Rates and modulators of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine nonresponse and breakthrough infections remain unclear in serially vaccinated transplant recipients. In a prospective, mono-centric, observational study, 1878 adult solid organ and hematopoietic cell transplant recipients, with prior SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, were included between March 2021 and February 2022. SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike IgG antibodies were measured at inclusion and details on SARS-CoV-2 vaccine doses and infection were collected. No life-threatening adverse events were reported after a total of 4039 vaccine doses. In transplant recipients without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection (n = 1636), antibody response rates ranged widely, from 47% in lung transplant to 90% in liver transplant and 91% in hematopoietic cell transplant recipients after third vaccine dose. Antibody positivity rate and levels increased after each vaccine dose in all types of transplant recipients. In multivariable analysis, older age, chronic kidney disease and daily dose of mycophenolate and corticosteroids were negatively associated with antibody response rate. Overall rate of breakthrough infections was 25.2% and mainly (90.2%) occurred after third and fourth vaccine dose. Lung transplant recipients had the highest rates of severe breakthrough infection (10.5%) and death (2.5%). In multivariable analysis, older age, daily dose of mycophenolate and corticosteroids were associated with severe breakthrough infection. Transplant recipients with infection before first vaccine dose (n = 160) had higher antibody response rates and levels after each vaccine dose, and a significantly lower overall rate of breakthrough infections compared to those without prior infection. Antibody response after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and rate of severe breakthrough infections vary largely between different transplant types and are modulated by specific risk factors. The observed heterogeneity supports a tailored approach against COVID-19 in transplant recipients.

BACKGROUND: Despite increasing use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII, insulin pumps) in type 1 diabetes (T1D) in pregnancy, achieving recommended pregnancy glycaemic targets (3.5-7.8 mmol/L or 63-140 mg/dL) remains challenging. Consequently, the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes remains high. Outside pregnancy, hybrid closed-loop (HCL) insulin delivery systems have led to a paradigm shift in the management of T1D, with 12% higher time in glucose target range (TIR) compared to conventional CSII. However, most commercially available HCL systems are currently not approved for use in pregnancy. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of the MiniMed™ 780G HCL system (Medtronic) in T1D in pregnancy. METHODS: In this international, open-label, randomized controlled trial (RCT), we will compare the MiniMed™ 780G HCL system to standard of care (SoC) in T1D in pregnancy. Women aged 18-45 years with T1D diagnosis of at least one year, HbA1c ≤ 86 mmol/mol (≤ 10%), and confirmed singleton pregnancy up to 11 weeks 6 days will be eligible. After providing written informed consent, all participants will wear a similar CGM system (Guardian™ 3 or Guardian™ 4 CGM) during a 10-day run-in phase. After the run-in phase, participants will be randomised 1:1 to 780G HCL (intervention) or SoC [control, continuation of current T1D treatment with multiple daily injections (MDI) or CSII and any type of CGM] stratified according to centre, baseline HbA1c (< 53 vs. ≥ 53 mmol/mol or < 7 vs. ≥ 7%), and method of insulin delivery (MDI or CSII). The primary outcome will be the time spent within the pregnancy glucose target range, as measured by the CGM at four time points in pregnancy: 14-17, 20-23, 26-29, and 33-36 weeks. Prespecified secondary outcomes will be overnight TIR, time below range (TBR: <3.5 mmol/L or < 63 mg/dL), and overnight TBR. Other outcomes will be exploratory. The planned sample size is 92 participants. The study will end after postpartum discharge from hospital. Analyses will be performed according to intention-to-treat as well as per protocol. DISCUSSION: This large RCT will evaluate a widely used commercially available HCL system in T1D in pregnancy. Recruitment began in January 2021 and was completed in October 2022. Study completion is expected in May 2023. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04520971. Registration date: August 20, 2020. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04520971.

Intraportal (IP) islet cell transplants can restore metabolic control in type 1 diabetes patients, but limitations raise the need for establishing a functional beta cell mass (FBM) in a confined extrahepatic site. This study reports on function and composition of omental (OM) implants after placement of islet cell grafts with similar beta cell mass as in our IP-protocol (2-5.106 beta cells/kg body weight) on a scaffold. Four of seven C-peptide-negative recipients achieved low beta cell function (hyperglycemic clamp [HGC] 2-8 percent of controls) until laparoscopy, 2-6 months later, for OM-biopsy and concomitant IP-transplant with similar beta cell dose. This IP-transplant increased HGC-values to 15-40 percent. OM-biopsies reflected the composition of initial grafts, exhibiting varying proportions of endocrine-cell-enriched clusters with more beta than alpha cells and leucocyte pole, non-endocrine cytokeratin-positive clusters surrounded by leucocytes, and scaffold remnants with foreign body reaction. OM-implants on a polyglactin-thrombin-fibrinogen-scaffold presented larger endocrine clusters with infiltrating endothelial cells and corresponded to the higher HGC-values. No activation of cellular immunity to GAD/IA2 was measured post-OM-transplant. Establishment of a metabolically adequate FBM in omentum may require a higher beta cell number in grafts but also elimination of their immunogenic non-endocrine components as well as local conditioning that favors endocrine cell engraftment and function.

BACKGROUND: People with type 1 diabetes can continuously monitor their glucose levels on demand (intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring [isCGM]), or in real time (real-time continuous glucose monitoring [rtCGM]). However, it is unclear whether switching from isCGM to rtCGM with alert functionality offers additional benefits. Therefore, we did a trial comparing rtCGM and isCGM in adults with type 1 diabetes (ALERTT1). METHODS: We did a prospective, double-arm, parallel-group, multicentre, randomised controlled trial in six hospitals in Belgium. Adults with type 1 diabetes who previously used isCGM were randomly assigned (1:1) to rtCGM (intervention) or isCGM (control). Randomisation was done centrally using minimisation dependent on study centre, age, gender, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), time in range (sensor glucose 3·9-10·0 mmol/L), insulin administration method, and hypoglycaemia awareness. Participants, investigators, and study teams were not masked to group allocation. Primary endpoint was mean between-group difference in time in range after 6 months assessed in the intention-to-treat sample. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03772600. FINDINGS: Between Jan 29 and Jul 30, 2019, 269 participants were recruited, of whom 254 were randomly assigned to rtCGM (n=127) or isCGM (n=127); 124 and 122 participants completed the study, respectively. After 6 months, time in range was higher with rtCGM than with isCGM (59·6% vs 51·9%; mean difference 6·85 percentage points [95% CI 4·36-9·34]; p<0·0001). After 6 months HbA1c was lower (7·1% vs 7·4%; p<0·0001), as was time <3·0 mmol/L (0·47% vs 0·84%; p=0·0070), and Hypoglycaemia Fear Survey version II worry subscale score (15·4 vs 18·0; p=0·0071). Fewer participants on rtCGM experienced severe hypoglycaemia (n=3 vs n=13; p=0·0082). Skin reaction was more frequently observed with isCGM and bleeding after sensor insertion was more frequently reported by rtCGM users. INTERPRETATION: In an unselected adult type 1 diabetes population, switching from isCGM to rtCGM significantly improved time in range after 6 months of treatment, implying that clinicians should consider rtCGM instead of isCGM to improve the health and quality of life of people with type 1 diabetes.

AIM: To evaluate the ability of ladarixin (LDX, 400 mg twice-daily for three cycles of 14 days on/14 days off), an inhibitor of the CXCR1/2 chemokine receptors, to maintain C-peptide production in adult patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A double-blind, randomized (2:1), placebo-controlled study was conducted in 45 males and 31 females (aged 18-46 years) within 100 days of the first insulin administration. The primary endpoint was the area under the curve (AUC) for C-peptide in response to a 2-hour mixed meal tolerance test (AUC[0-120 min] ) at week 13 ± 1. Secondary endpoints included C-peptide AUC(15-120 min) , HbA1c, daily insulin requirement, severe hypoglycaemic events (SHE), the proportion of subjects achieving HbA1c less than 7.0% without SHE and maintaining a residual beta cell function. Follow-up assessments were scheduled at weeks 13 ± 1, 26 ± 2 and 52 ± 2. RESULTS: In total, 26/26 (100%, placebo) and 49/50 (98%, LDX) patients completed week 13. The mean change from baseline to week 13 in C-peptide AUC(0-120 min) was -0.144 ± 0.449 nmol/L with placebo and 0.003 ± .322 nmol/L with LDX. The difference was not significant (0.149 nmol/L, 95% CI -0.04 to 0.33; P = .122). At week 26, the proportion of patients with HbA1c less than 7.0% without SHE was transiently higher in the LDX group (81% vs. 54%, P = .024). Otherwise, no significant secondary endpoint differences were noted. Transient metabolic benefit was seen at week 26 in favour of the LDX group in the prespecified subpopulation with fasting C-peptide less than the median value at screening. CONCLUSIONS: In newly diagnosed patients with type 1 diabetes, short-term LDX treatment had no appreciable effect on preserving residual beta cell function.

AIMS: To determine the frequency of ketonaemia in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes treated with a sensor-augmented pump (SAP) in predictive low glucose suspend (PLGS) mode compared with low glucose suspend (LGS) mode. METHODS: An open-label crossover pilot RCT in ten women with type 1 diabetes treated with a 640 Medtronic insulin pump, with inclusion between 12-30 weeks of pregnancy. Participants were 1/1 randomly assigned (allocation by statistician using a permuted block size of 2) to either 2 weeks with an SAP in PLGS mode or 2 weeks in LGS mode. After the first 2 weeks, participants were switched to the other mode. Ketones in the participants' serum were measured three times daily (fasting, midday and evening) during the 4 weeks. The primary endpoint was the frequency of blood ketones > 0.6 mmol/l. Participants and healthcare providers were not blinded to group assignment for assessment of outcomes. RESULTS: The median gestational week at inclusion was 12.5 weeks (12.0-15.0), participants had a median age of 31.5 years (24.0-33.0), BMI of 26.6 kg/m2 (24.5-31.8), baseline HbA1c of 41 mmol/mol (40-43; 5.9% [5.8-6.1]) and baseline time in range (TIR, 3.5-7.8 mmol/l) of 64.6% (55.6-68.7). Comparing the LGS mode with the PLGS mode, insulin suspension time per day was 2.0 h (1.3-2.3) vs 3.5 h (3.3-5.0; p = 0.002), ketonaemia > 0.6 mmol/l was 0% vs 0.5% (p = 1.000) and no participants had ketonaemia > 1 mmol/l. TIR on LGS was 64.7% (58.0-68.7) vs 61.1% (56.5-67.5) on PLGS (p = 0.492), time < 3.5 mmol/l was higher on LGS at 7.5% (4.6-8.3) vs 4.2% (2.4-6.9) on PLGS (p = 0.014). Treatment satisfaction and fear for hypoglycaemia were similar whether using LGS or PLGS mode. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: Despite longer time periods with suspended insulin delivery, pregnant women using an SAP in PLGS mode were not at higher risk of developing ketonaemia compared with those in LGS mode. Women with an SAP in PLGS mode had similar TIR with less time in hypoglycaemia.

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: We examined whether the non-HLA susceptibility locus ERBB3/IKZF4 influences progression of type 1 diabetes stage specifically according to sex. METHODS: SNPs of ERBB3 (rs2292239 T/G) and IKZF4 (rs1701704 G/T) were screened by allelic discrimination quantitative PCR assay in first-degree relatives of type 1 diabetes patients who had developed at least one circulating autoantibody. The effect of ERBB3/IKZF4 genotypes and sex, on the progression of single autoantibody positivity to multiple autoantibody positivity and from multiple autoantibody positivity to diabetes, was studied by Kaplan-Meier analysis and multivariate Cox regression. RESULTS: In the cohort of autoantibody-positive first-degree relatives, the risk allele frequencies for ERBB3 rs2292239 (T) and IKZF4 rs1701704 (G) were increased. There was a significant male excess at the stage of multiple autoantibody positivity (p = 0.021). In Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, progression from single to multiple antibody positivity was delayed in female participants with genotype ERBB3 GG (p = 0.018, vs ERBB3 TG+TT) or IKZF4 TT (p = 0.023, vs IKZF4 GT+GG), but not in male participants. In multivariate Cox regression models, the interaction effects between female sex and ERBB3 GG (p = 0.012; HR = 0.305 [95% CI 0.120, 0.773]) or between female sex and IKZF4 TT (p = 0.011; HR = 0.329 [95% CI 0.140, 0.777]) emerged as potential determinants of delayed progression to multiple autoantibodies. The progression from multiple autoantibody positivity to type 1 diabetes appeared not to be influenced by ERBB3/IKZF4. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: In siblings and offspring of type 1 diabetes patients, polymorphism in region ERBB3/IKZF4 may affect disease progression at the level of epitope spreading in female individuals. Our findings suggest that interaction between sex and ERBB3/IKZF4 may contribute to the post-pubertal male excess in type 1 diabetes.

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Numerous clinical studies have investigated the anti-CD3É monoclonal antibody otelixizumab in individuals with type 1 diabetes, but limited progress has been made in identifying the optimal clinical dose with acceptable tolerability and safety. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between dose-response, safety and tolerability, beta cell function preservation and the immunological effects of otelixizumab in new-onset type 1 diabetes. METHODS: In this randomised, single-blind, placebo-controlled, 24 month study, conducted in five centres in Belgium via the Belgian Diabetes Registry, participants (16-27 years old, <32 days from diagnosis of type 1 diabetes) were scheduled to receive placebo or otelixizumab in one of four dose cohorts (cumulative i.v. dose 9, 18, 27 or 36 mg over 6 days; planned n = 40). Randomisation to treatment was by a central computer system; only participants and bedside study personnel were blinded to study treatment. The co-primary endpoints were the incidence of adverse events, the rate of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation, and laboratory measures and vital signs. A mixed-meal tolerance test was used to assess beta cell function; exploratory biomarkers were used to measure T cell responses. RESULTS: Thirty participants were randomised/28 were analysed (placebo, n = 6/5; otelixizumab 9 mg, n = 9/8; otelixizumab 18 mg, n = 8/8; otelixizumab 27 mg, n = 7/7; otelixizumab 36 mg, n = 0). Dosing was stopped at otelixizumab 27 mg as the predefined EBV reactivation stopping criteria were met. Adverse event frequency and severity were dose dependent; all participants on otelixizumab experienced at least one adverse event related to cytokine release syndrome during the dosing period. EBV reactivation (otelixizumab 9 mg, n = 2/9; 18 mg, n = 4/8: 27 mg, n = 5/7) and clinical manifestations (otelixizumab 9 mg, n = 0/9; 18 mg, n = 1/8; 27 mg, n = 3/7) were rapid, dose dependent and transient, and were associated with increased productive T cell clonality that diminished over time. Change from baseline mixed-meal tolerance test C-peptide weighted mean AUC0-120 min following otelixizumab 9 mg was above baseline for up to 18 months (difference from placebo 0.39 [95% CI 0.06, 0.72]; p = 0.023); no beta cell function preservation was observed at otelixizumab 18 and 27 mg. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: A metabolic response was observed with otelixizumab 9 mg, while doses higher than 18 mg increased the risk of unwanted clinical EBV reactivation. Although otelixizumab can temporarily compromise immunocompetence, allowing EBV to reactivate, the effect is dose dependent and transient, as evidenced by a rapid emergence of EBV-specific T cells preceding long-term control over EBV reactivation.

Detection of amyloid in intraportal islet implants of type 1 diabetes patients has been proposed as cause in their functional decline. The present study uses cultured adult human islets devoid of amyloid to examine conditions of its formation. After intraportal injection in patients, amyloid deposits <15 µm diameter were identified in 5%-12% of beta cell containing aggregates, 3-76 months posttransplant. Such deposits also formed in glucose-controlling islet implants in the kidney of diabetic mice but not in failing implants. Alginate-encapsulated islets formed amyloid during culture when functional, and in all intraperitoneal implants that corrected diabetes in mice, exhibiting larger sizes than in functioning nonencapsulated implants. After intraperitoneal injection in a patient, retrieved single capsules presented amyloid near living beta cells, whereas no amyloid occurred in clustered capsules with dead cells. Amyloid was also demonstrated in functional human stem cell-generated beta cell implants in subcutaneous devices of mice. Deposits up to 35 µm diameter were localized in beta cell-enriched regions and related to an elevated IAPP over insulin ratio in the newly generated beta cells. Amyloid in device-encapsulated human stem cell-generated beta cell implants marks the formation of a functional beta cell mass but also an imbalance between its activated state and its microenvironment.

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of switching from traditional mealtime insulins to fast-acting insulin aspart (Fiasp) in a "real-world" clinical practice setting in adult people with type 1 diabetes (PWD1) who were using intermittently scanned or real-time continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM or rtCGM, respectively). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data from 438 adult PWD1 (60% men, age 44.6 ± 16.2 years, diabetes duration 21.5 ± 14.0 years, isCGM/rtCGM: 391/47, multiple daily injections/continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion: 409/29), who initiated Fiasp from January 2018 to May 2020, were analysed. The primary objective was the evolution of time in range (TIR; 70-180 mg/dL) at 6 and 12 months. Secondary objectives included change in HbA1c, body mass index (BMI), insulin doses, time below range (<70 and <54 mg/dL), and time above range (>180 and >250 mg/dL). RESULTS: TIR improved from 50.3% ± 15.6% to 54.3% ± 15.1% at 6 months (n = 425) and to 55.5% ± 15.2% at 12 months (n = 385) (P < .001), corresponding to 57 min/d at 6 months and 75 min/d at 12 months. Time spent below 54 mg/dL evolved from 3.1% ± 3.3% to 3.1% ± 3.7% and 2.5% ± 3.0% at 6 and 12 months, respectively (P = .011). Also, time spent above 180 mg/dL decreased from 42.3% ± 16.7% at start by 4.2% at 6 months and by 4.6% at 12 months (P < .001). The proportion of people reaching TIR more than 70% increased from 11.0% to 14.8% (P = .002), and those spending less than 4% at time less than 70 mg/dL increased from 36.1% to 42.1% (P = .002). After 12 months, HbA1c, insulin doses, and BMI did not change significantly. CONCLUSIONS: In a Belgian real-world setting of adult PWD1, switching to Fiasp was associated with a 5% increased TIR after 12 months, corresponding to 75 min/d, in combination with less time spent below and above range.

Physical exercise is an important component in the management of type 1 diabetes across the lifespan. Yet, acute exercise increases the risk of dysglycaemia, and the direction of glycaemic excursions depends, to some extent, on the intensity and duration of the type of exercise. Understandably, fear of hypoglycaemia is one of the strongest barriers to incorporating exercise into daily life. Risk of hypoglycaemia during and after exercise can be lowered when insulin-dose adjustments are made and/or additional carbohydrates are consumed. Glycaemic management during exercise has been made easier with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) systems; however, because of the complexity of CGM and isCGM systems, both individuals with type 1 diabetes and their healthcare professionals may struggle with the interpretation of given information to maximise the technological potential for effective use around exercise (i.e. before, during and after). This position statement highlights the recent advancements in CGM and isCGM technology, with a focus on the evidence base for their efficacy to sense glucose around exercise and adaptations in the use of these emerging tools, and updates the guidance for exercise in adults, children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Patients with heterotaxy syndrome (HS) can present with an associated complete dorsal pancreas agenesis (DPA). They are considered to be at increased risk for developing diabetes due to a reduced functional beta cell mass (FBM) as well as for chronic pancreatitis leading to unmanageable pain. We report the case of a young woman with chronic pancreatitis due to HS and associated DPA. She presented with a severe persisting upper abdominal pain refractory to nonsurgical treatment. Unlike in previously reported cases, she had a high FBM (ie, 150% of normoglycemic controls) as determined by hyperglycemic clamp. She underwent a total pancreatectomy followed within 24 hours by an intraportal autologous islet cell transplant containing 4 × 106 beta cells (4700 islet equivalent)/kg body weight. After surgery, the pain resolved, eliminating the need for analgesics. The intraportal implant established an adequate FBM (72% of controls at posttransplant month 2), achieving glycemic control without need for insulin administration. A hyperglycemic clamp can assess the utility and efficacy of an intraportal islet cell autotransplant following total pancreatectomy in patients with HS and complete DPA.

OBJECTIVE: We undertook a 24-month prospective observational single-center real-world trial to study impact of access to intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) on quality of life (QOL) and glycemic control of youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS: Between September 2016 and November 2017, 138 children and adolescents with T1D were recruited. Demographic, metabolic, and QOL data were collected during 24 months of routine follow-up. Primary endpoint was the evolution of QOL, with secondary outcomes change in HbA1c, occurrence of acute diabetes complications, and school absenteeism. RESULTS: Ninety-two percent of participants found isCGM more user-friendly than capillary finger-stick tests and had high treatment satisfaction, without change in diabetes-specific QOL. HbA1c significantly increased from 7.2% (7.0-7.3) (55 mmol/mol [53-56]) at baseline to 7.6% (7.4-7.8) (60 mmol/mol [57-62]) at 12 months (P < .0001) and was unchanged up to 24 months. Overall increase was mainly driven by children with baseline HbA1c <7.0% (<53 mmol/mol). Additionally, BMI adjusted for age was higher at study end. In year before isCGM, 228 days per 100 patient-years of school absenteeism were reported, which dramatically decreased to 13 days per 100 patient-years (P = .016) after 24 months. Parents of children also reported less work absenteeism (P = .011). CONCLUSION: The use of isCGM by T1D pediatrics is associated with high treatment satisfaction and fewer days of school absence. However, increased HbA1c and weight may reflect a looser lifestyle, with less attention to diet and more avoidance of hypoglycemia. Intensive education specifically focusing on these points may mitigate these issues.

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: HLA-A*24 carriership hampers achievement of insulin independence in islet allograft recipients. However, less than half of those who fail to achieve insulin independence carry the allele. We investigated whether genetic polymorphism at the recipients' zinc transporter 8-encoding SLC30A8 gene (rs13266634) could complement their HLA-A*24 status in predicting functional graft outcome. METHODS: We retrospectively analysed data of a hospital-based patient cohort followed for 18 months post transplantation. Forty C-peptide-negative type 1 diabetic individuals who received >2 million beta cells (>4000 islet equivalents) per kg body weight in one or two intraportal implantations under similar immunosuppression were genotyped for SLC30A8. Outcome measurements included achievement and maintenance of graft function. Metabolic benefit was defined as <25% CV of fasting glycaemia in the presence of >331 pmol/l C-peptide, in addition to achievement of insulin independence and maintenance of C-peptide positivity. RESULTS: In multivariate analysis, HLA-A*24 positivity, presence of SLC30A8 CT or TT genotypes and BMI more than or equal to the group median (23.9 kg/m2) were independently associated with failure to achieve insulin independence (p = 0.015-0.046). The risk increased with the number of factors present (p < 0.001). High BMI interacted with SLC30A8 T allele carriership to independently predict difficulty in achieving graft function with metabolic benefit (p = 0.015). Maintenance of C-peptide positivity was mainly associated with older age at the time of implantation. Only HLA-A*24 carriership independently predicted failure to maintain acceptable graft function once achieved (p = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: HLA-A*24, the SLC30A8 T allele and high BMI are associated with poor graft outcome and should be considered in the interpretation of future transplantation trials.
