RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To compare the long-term effects of glucose-lowering medications (insulin glargine U-100, glimepiride, liraglutide, and sitagliptin) when added to metformin on insulin sensitivity and ß-cell function. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: In the Glycemia Reduction Approaches in Diabetes: A Comparative Effectiveness Study (GRADE) cohort with type 2 diabetes (n = 4,801), HOMA2 was used to estimate insulin sensitivity (HOMA2-%S) and fasting ß-cell function (HOMA2-%B) at baseline and 1, 3, and 5 years on treatment. Oral glucose tolerance test ß-cell responses (C-peptide index [CPI] and total C-peptide response [incremental C-peptide/incremental glucose over 120 min]) were evaluated at the same time points. These responses adjusted for HOMA2-%S in regression analysis provided estimates of ß-cell function. RESULTS: HOMA2-%S increased from baseline to year 1 with glargine and remained stable thereafter, while it did not change from baseline in the other treatment groups. HOMA2-%B and C-peptide responses were increased to variable degrees at year 1 in all groups but then declined progressively over time. At year 5, CPI was similar between liraglutide and sitagliptin, and higher for both than for glargine and glimepiride [0.80, 0.87, 0.74, and 0.64 (nmol/L)/(mg/dL) * 100, respectively; P < 0.001], while the total C-peptide response was greatest with liraglutide, followed in descending order by sitagliptin, glargine, and glimepiride [1.54, 1.25, 1.02, and 0.87 (nmol/L)/(mg/dL) * 100, respectively, P < 0.001]. After adjustment for HOMA2-%S to obtain an estimate of ß-cell function, the nature of the change in ß-cell responses reflected those in ß-cell function. CONCLUSIONS: The differential long-term effects on insulin sensitivity and ß-cell function of four different glucose-lowering medications when added to metformin highlight the importance of the loss of ß-cell function in the progression of type 2 diabetes.

Importance: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is the leading cause of kidney disease in the US. It is not known whether glucose-lowering medications differentially affect kidney function. Objective: To evaluate kidney outcomes in the Glycemia Reduction Approaches in Diabetes: A Comparative Effectiveness (GRADE) trial comparing 4 classes of glucose-lowering medications added to metformin for glycemic management in individuals with T2D. Design, Setting, and Participants: A randomized clinical trial was conducted at 36 sites across the US. Participants included adults with T2D for less than 10 years, a hemoglobin A1c level between 6.8% and 8.5%, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) greater than or equal to 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 who were receiving metformin treatment. A total of 5047 participants were enrolled between July 8, 2013, and August 11, 2017, and followed up for a mean of 5.0 years (range, 0-7.6 years). Data were analyzed from February 21, 2022, to March 27, 2023. Interventions: Addition of insulin glargine, glimepiride, liraglutide, or sitagliptin to metformin, with the medication combination continued until the HbA1c was greater than 7.5%; thereafter, insulin was added to maintain glycemic control. Main Outcomes and Measures: Chronic eGFR slope (change in eGFR between year 1 and trial end) and a composite kidney disease progression outcome (albuminuria, dialysis, transplant, or death due to kidney disease). Secondary outcomes included incident eGFR less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, 40% decrease in eGFR to less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, doubling of urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) to 30 mg/g or greater, and progression of Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes stage. Analyses were intention-to-treat. Results: Of the 5047 participants, 3210 (63.6%) were men. Baseline characteristics were mean (SD) age 57.2 (10.0) years; HbA1c 7.5% (0.5%); diabetes duration, 4.2 (2.7) years; body mass index, 34.3 (6.8); blood pressure 128.3/77.3 (14.7/9.9) mm Hg; eGFR 94.9 (16.8) mL/min/1.73 m2; and median UACR, 6.4 (IQR 3.1-16.9) mg/g; 2933 (58.1%) were treated with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone inhibitors. Mean chronic eGFR slope was -2.03 (95% CI, -2.20 to -1.86) mL/min/1.73 m2 per year for patients receiving sitagliptin; glimepiride, -1.92 (95% CI, -2.08 to -1.75) mL/min/1.73 m2 per year; liraglutide, -2.08 (95% CI, -2.26 to -1.90) mL/min/1.73 m2 per year; and insulin glargine, -2.02 (95% CI, -2.19 to -1.84) mL/min/1.73 m2 per year (P = .61). Mean composite kidney disease progression occurred in 135 (10.6%) patients receiving sitagliptin; glimepiride, 155 (12.4%); liraglutide, 152 (12.0%); and insulin glargine, 150 (11.9%) (P = .56). Most of the composite outcome was attributable to albuminuria progression (98.4%). There were no significant differences by treatment assignment in secondary outcomes. There were no adverse kidney events attributable to medication assignment. Conclusions and Relevance: In this randomized clinical trial, among people with T2D and predominantly free of kidney disease at baseline, no significant differences in kidney outcomes were observed during 5 years of follow-up when a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor, sulfonylurea, glucagonlike peptide 1 receptor agonist, or basal insulin was added to metformin for glycemic control.

BACKGROUND: In youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D), high haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels are associated with an increased risk for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). AIMS: This study examined whether daily school-supervised basal insulin injections were feasible and if they reduced the risk of morning ketosis in children and adolescents with high HbA1c levels. We hypothesized that supervised glargine and degludec would reduce the risk of ketosis and that the prolonged action of degludec would protect from ketosis after consecutive days of unsupervised injections. MATERIALS & METHODS: After a 2-4-week run-in, youth (10-18 years, HbA1c ≥ 8.5%) managing T1D with injections were randomized to school-supervised administration of degludec or glargine for 4 months. School nurses observed daily blood ß-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and glucose checks. During COVID closures, the research team supervised procedures remotely. RESULTS: Data from 28 youth (age 14.3 ± 2.3 years, HbA1c 11.4 ± 1.9%, 64% F) were analysed. School-supervised injections of both basal insulins for 1-4 days progressively lowered the percent of participants with elevated BHB. The percent of participants with elevated BHB (≥0.6 mmol/L) after 2 days of unsupervised basal insulin doses at home was greater in the glargine than degludec group but had a high p-value (17.2% vs. 9.0%, p = 0.3). HbA1c was unchanged in both groups. DISCUSSION: In youth with T1D at high risk for DKA, daily supervised long-acting insulin administration decreased the probability of elevated ketone levels on subsequent school days, regardless of basal insulin type. A larger sample size may have demonstrated that the longer action profile of degludec would offer additional protection from ketosis during days of not attending school. CONCLUSION: Engaging school-based caregivers in management of youth with T1D on injected insulin may decrease clinically significant ketosis and minimize acute complications of diabetes.

BACKGROUND: The incidence of type 2 diabetes in young people is increasing, but treatments remain limited. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of an empagliflozin dosing regimen versus placebo and linagliptin versus placebo on glycaemic control in young people with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial done in 108 centres in 15 countries, participants with type 2 diabetes (aged 10-17 years; HbA1c 6·5-10·5% [48-91 mmol/mol]) who had been previously treated with metformin or insulin were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to oral empagliflozin 10 mg, oral linagliptin 5 mg, or placebo. Participants in the empagliflozin group who did not have HbA1c below 7·0% (<53 mmol/mol) by week 12 underwent a second double-blinded randomisation (1:1) at week 14, either remaining on 10 mg or increasing to 25 mg. Participants in the placebo group were randomly reassigned (1:1:1) in a double-blinded manner at week 26 to linagliptin 5 mg or one of the empagliflozin doses (10 mg or 25 mg). Investigators were masked throughout the trial and received assignments of blinded medication kits through interactive response technology for all participants at the initial randomisation and for the re-randomisations at weeks 14 and 26. The primary outcome was change from baseline in HbA1c at 26 weeks. For empagliflozin, results were based on a pooled analysis for all participants on empagliflozin. Safety was assessed until week 52. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03429543. FINDINGS: Between April 26, 2018, and May 26, 2022, of 262 screened participants, 158 (60%) were randomly assigned to treatment (53 [34%] to placebo, 52 [33%] to empagliflozin 10 mg, and 53 [34%] to linagliptin). For the primary outcome, the adjusted mean HbA1c change from baseline at week 26 was -0·84% [-9·2 mmol/mol] in the empagliflozin pooled group versus placebo (95% CI -1·50 to -0·19 [-16·4 to -2·1]; p=0·012); the corresponding change from baseline for linagliptin versus placebo was -0·34% [-3·8 mmol/mol; 95% CI -0·99 to 0·30 [-10·8 to 3·3]; p=0·29). Adverse events occurred in 34 (64%) participants in the placebo group, 40 (77%) in the empagliflozin pooled group, and 37 (71%) in the linagliptin group, up to week 26. Of these, severe adverse events were reported in two (4%) participants in the placebo group, one (2%) in the empagliflozin pooled group, and one (2%) in the linagliptin group. Hypoglycaemia was the most frequently reported adverse event with higher rates for those on active drug treatment compared with placebo. No severe hypoglycaemia cases were reported. INTERPRETATION: Empagliflozin provided clinically relevant placebo-corrected reductions in HbA1c, whereas linagliptin did not, and might offer a new treatment option for young people with type 2 diabetes.

OBJECTIVES: Achieving optimal glycemic outcomes in young children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is challenging. This study examined the durability of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) coupled with a family behavioral intervention (FBI) to improve glycemia. STUDY DESIGN: This one-year study included an initial 26-week randomized controlled trial of CGM with FBI (CGM+FBI) and CGM alone (Standard-CGM) compared with blood glucose monitoring (BGM), followed by a 26-week extension phase wherein the BGM Group received the CGM+FBI (BGM-Crossover) and both original CGM groups continued this technology. RESULTS: Time in range (70-180 mg/dL) did not improve with CGM use (CGM+FBI: baseline 37%, 52 weeks 41%; Standard-CGM: baseline 41%, 52 weeks 44%; BGM-Crossover: 26 weeks 38%, 52 weeks 40%). All three groups sustained decreases in hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL) with CGM use (CGM+FBI: baseline 3.4%, 52 weeks 2.0%; Standard-CGM: baseline 4.1%, 52 weeks 2.1%; BGM-Crossover: 26 weeks 4.5%, 52 weeks 1.7%, P-values <.001). Hemoglobin A1c was unchanged with CGM use (CGM+FBI: baseline 8.3%, 52 weeks 8.2%; Standard-CGM: baseline 8.2%, 52 weeks 8.0%; BGM-Crossover: 26 weeks 8.1%, 52 weeks 8.3%). Sensor use remained high (52-week study visit: CGM+FBI 91%, Standard-CGM 92%, BGM-Crossover 88%). CONCLUSION: Over 12 months young children with T1D using newer CGM technology sustained reductions in hypoglycemia and, in contrast to prior studies, persistently wore CGM. However, pervasive hyperglycemia remained unmitigated. This indicates an urgent need for further advances in diabetes technology, behavioral support, and diabetes management educational approaches to optimize glycemia in young children.

BACKGROUND: Incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in children and adolescents is increasing, but treatment options are limited. METHODS: This was a 26-week, phase 3 trial with a 26-week extension among patients (10 to 17 years of age) with uncontrolled T2D (A1C 6.5 to 10.5%) receiving metformin, insulin, or both. Participants were randomly assigned 1:1:1 to 5 mg of dapagliflozin (N=81), 2.5 mg of saxagliptin (N=88), or placebo (N=76). Patients in active treatment groups with A1C ≥7% at week 12 were further randomly assigned 1:1 at week 14 to continue the dose or up-titrate to a higher dose (10 mg of dapagliflozin or 5 mg of saxagliptin). The primary end point was change in A1C at week 26. Safety was assessed over 52 weeks. RESULTS: At week 26, the difference versus placebo in adjusted mean change in A1C was −1.03 percentage points (95% confidence interval [CI], −1.57 to −0.49; P<0.001) for dapagliflozin and −0.44 percentage points (95% CI, −0.93 to 0.05; P=0.078) for saxagliptin. Adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs occurred in 72.8% and 8.6% of patients receiving dapagliflozin, 69.3% and 8.0% of patients receiving saxagliptin, and 71.1% and 6.6% of patients receiving placebo. Severe hypoglycemia occurred in 4.9%, 4.5%, and 7.9% of patients in each group, respectively. Over 52 weeks, the most common AE was headache (dapagliflozin 14.8%; placebo 5.3%). Most events were mild and none was considered serious or resulted in discontinuation. CONCLUSIONS: Dapagliflozin, but not saxagliptin, showed significant improvement in A1C compared with placebo. Nonserious headaches were more common in participants treated with dapagliflozin than in those receiving placebo. (Funded by AstraZeneca; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03199053.)

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this clinical practice guideline is to provide updated and new evidence-based recommendations for the comprehensive care of persons with diabetes mellitus to clinicians, diabetes-care teams, other health care professionals and stakeholders, and individuals with diabetes and their caregivers. METHODS: The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology selected a task force of medical experts and staff who updated and assessed clinical questions and recommendations from the prior 2015 version of this guideline and conducted literature searches for relevant scientific papers published from January 1, 2015, through May 15, 2022. Selected studies from results of literature searches composed the evidence base to update 2015 recommendations as well as to develop new recommendations based on review of clinical evidence, current practice, expertise, and consensus, according to established American Association of Clinical Endocrinology protocol for guideline development. RESULTS: This guideline includes 170 updated and new evidence-based clinical practice recommendations for the comprehensive care of persons with diabetes. Recommendations are divided into four sections: (1) screening, diagnosis, glycemic targets, and glycemic monitoring; (2) comorbidities and complications, including obesity and management with lifestyle, nutrition, and bariatric surgery, hypertension, dyslipidemia, retinopathy, neuropathy, diabetic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease; (3) management of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes with antihyperglycemic pharmacotherapy and glycemic targets, type 1 diabetes with insulin therapy, hypoglycemia, hospitalized persons, and women with diabetes in pregnancy; (4) education and new topics regarding diabetes and infertility, nutritional supplements, secondary diabetes, social determinants of health, and virtual care, as well as updated recommendations on cancer risk, nonpharmacologic components of pediatric care plans, depression, education and team approach, occupational risk, role of sleep medicine, and vaccinations in persons with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: This updated clinical practice guideline provides evidence-based recommendations to assist with person-centered, team-based clinical decision-making to improve the care of persons with diabetes mellitus.

OBJECTIVE: Approved treatments for type 2 diabetes in pediatric patients include metformin, liraglutide, and insulin. However, approximately one-half of the youth fail metformin monotherapy within 1 year, insulin therapy is associated with challenges, and liraglutide requires daily injections. Consequently, the efficacy and safety of once-weekly injections of exenatide for the treatment of youth with type 2 diabetes was evaluated. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Participants (aged 10 to <18 years) were randomized (5:2) to once-weekly exenatide 2 mg or placebo, respectively. The primary efficacy end point was change in glycated hemoglobin from baseline to week 24. Secondary efficacy end points were also evaluated, and the frequency of adverse events (AEs) was assessed. RESULTS: A total of 83 participants were randomized (exenatide, 59; placebo, 24) and 72 completed 24-week treatment (exenatide, 49; placebo, 23). At 24 weeks, the least squares mean change in glycated hemoglobin was -0.36% for the exenatide and +0.49% for the placebo groups (between-group difference, -0.85%; 95% CI -1.51, -0.19; P = 0.012). Nonsignificant least squares mean differences from baseline to 24 weeks favoring exenatide were observed: fasting glucose -21.6 mg/dL (-49.0, 5.7; P = 0.119), systolic blood pressure -2.8 mmHg (-8.0, 2.4; P = 0.284), and body weight -1.22 kg (-3.59, 1.15; P = 0.307). AEs occurred in 36 (61.0%) and 17 (73.9%) participants in the exenatide and placebo groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In youth with type 2 diabetes suboptimally controlled with current treatments, once-weekly exenatide reduced glycated hemoglobin at 24 weeks and was well tolerated.

BACKGROUND: Since there are few treatment options for young people with type 2 diabetes, we aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin as add-on therapy in children, adolescents, and young adults with type 2 diabetes receiving metformin, insulin, or both. METHODS: This multicentre, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomised phase 3 study was undertaken at 30 centres in five countries (Hungary, Israel, Mexico, Russia, and the USA). Participants aged 10-24 years with type 2 diabetes and HbA1c concentration of 6·5-11% (48-97 mmol/mol) were randomly assigned 1:1 to oral dapagliflozin 10 mg or placebo during a 24 week double-blind period, which was then followed by a 28 week open-label safety extension in which all participants received dapagliflozin. Participants and study personnel were masked and participants were randomly assigned treatment (placebo or study drug) using an interactive web and voice response system. The primary outcome was between-group differences in change in HbA1c concentration from baseline to 24 weeks (intention-to-treat analysis). A prespecified sensitivity analysis of the primary outcome was also assessed in the per-protocol population, which included only protocol-compliant participants. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02725593. FINDINGS: Between June 22, 2016, and March 15, 2019, 72 participants (19 [26%] of whom were aged 18-24 years) were randomly assigned (39 to dapagliflozin and 33 to placebo). Mean age was 16·1 (SD 3·3) years. In the intention-to-treat analysis, after 24 weeks, mean change in HbA1c concentration was -0·25% (95% CI -0·85 to 0·34; -2·7 [-9·3 to 3·7] mmol/mol) for dapagliflozin and 0·50% (-0·18 to 1·17; 5·5 [-2·0 to 12·8] mmol/mol) for placebo. The between-group difference was -0·75% (95% CI -1·65 to 0·15; -8·2 [-18·0 to 1·6] mmol/mol; p=0·10). In a sensitivity analysis in the per-protocol population (34 in the dapagliflozin group and 26 in the placebo group) after 24 weeks, mean change was -0·51% (-1·07 to 0·05; -5·6 [-11·7 to 0·5] mmol/mol) for dapagliflozin and 0·62% (-0·04 to 1·27; 6·8 [-0·4 to 13·9] mmol/mol) for placebo. The between-group difference was -1·13% (-1·99 to -0·26; -12·4 [-21·8 to -2·8] mmol/mol; p=0·012). Adverse events occurred in 27 (69%) dapagliflozin-assigned participants and 19 (58%) placebo-assigned participants over 24 weeks, and in 29 (74%) participants who received dapagliflozin over 52 weeks. Hypoglycaemia occurred in 11 (28%) dapagliflozin-assigned and six (18%) placebo-assigned participants who received dapagliflozin over 24 weeks and in 13 participants (33%) who received dapagliflozin over 52 weeks; none were considered as serious adverse events. No adverse events of diabetic ketoacidosis occurred. INTERPRETATION: The primary outcome of change in HbA1c concentration was not significant in the intention-to-treat analysis of children, adolescents, and young adults with type 2 diabetes receiving dapagliflozin in addition to standard-of-care treatment. A prespecified sensitivity analysis of protocol-compliant participants showed a significant difference in HbA1c concentration between groups. No new safety signals were identified and there was a low risk of severe hypoglycaemia. FUNDING: AstraZeneca.

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated blinded continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) profiles in a subset of adults with type 1 diabetes from the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (DCCT/EDIC) study to characterize the frequency of glycemic excursions and contributing factors. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: CGM-derived metrics were compared for daytime and nighttime periods using blinded CGM for a minimum of 6.5 days (average 11.9 days) and correlated with HbA1c levels, routine use of diabetes devices, and other characteristics in 765 participants. RESULTS: Participants were 58.9 ± 6.5 years of age with diabetes duration 36.8 ± 4.9 years and HbA1c 7.8 ± 1.2%; 58% used insulin pumps, and 27% used personal, unblinded CGM. Compared with daytime, nighttime mean sensor glucose was lower, percent time in range 70-180 mg/dL (TIR) was similar, and hypoglycemia was more common. Over the entire recording period, only 9% of the 765 participants achieved >70% TIR and only 28% achieved <1% of observations of <54 mg/dL. Indeed, participants with the highest percentage of hypoglycemia had the lowest HbA1c levels. However, use of insulin pumps and CGM decreased the percent time at <54 mg/dL. CONCLUSIONS: In adults with long-standing type 1 diabetes, short-term blinded CGM profiles revealed frequent clinically significant hypoglycemia (<54 mg/dL) during the night and more time in hyperglycemia during the day. The small subset of participants using routine CGM and insulin pumps had fewer hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic excursions and lower HbA1c levels. Thus, strategies to lower meal-stimulated hyperglycemia during the day and prevent hypoglycemia at night are relevant clinical goals in older patients with type 1 diabetes.

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes in the U.S. is more prevalent in youth of minority racial-ethnic background, but disparities in health outcomes have not been examined in this population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We examined racial-ethnic differences in the initial presentation and subsequent comorbidities in 1,217 youth with type 2 diabetes (63% girls) enrolled in the Pediatric Diabetes Consortium (PDC) Registry from February 2012 to June 2018. Demographic and clinical data were collected from medical records and participant self-report. RESULTS: Overall, the mean age at presentation was 13.4 ± 2.4 years, and BMI was 35.0 ± 9.4 kg/m2. HbA1c was higher and C-peptide was lower in non-Hispanic Black (NHB) and Hispanic (H) youth compared with non-Hispanic White (NHW) youth. NHB were three times as likely to present in diabetic ketoacidosis (19%) versus NHW (6.3%) and H (7.5%), and NHB and H both had a worse HbA1c trajectory compared with NHW peers. Microalbuminuria was documented in 11%, hypertension in 34%, and dyslipidemia in 42% of Registry participants, with no significant difference among racial-ethnic groups. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was diagnosed in 9% and 11% of H and NHW, respectively, versus 2% in NHB. CONCLUSIONS: NHB and H youth with type 2 diabetes presented with worse metabolic control and had persistently worse HbA1c trajectories compared with NHW. Comorbidities exist in a large percentage of these youth independent of race-ethnicity, except for NAFLD being less prevalent in NHB. Greater efforts are needed to mitigate racial-ethnic disparities at diagnosis and in the management of youth with type 2 diabetes.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Many youth do not use the hybrid closed-loop system for type 1 diabetes effectively. This study evaluated the impact of financial incentives for diabetes-related tasks on use of the 670G hybrid closed-loop system and on glycemia. METHODS: At auto mode initiation and for 16 weeks thereafter, participants received a flat rate for wearing and calibrating the sensor ($1/day), administering at least 3 mealtime insulin boluses per day ($1/day), and uploading ($5/week). Weekly bonuses were given for maintaining at least 70% of the time in auto mode, which were increased for persistent auto mode use from $3/week to a maximum of $13/week. If a participant failed to maintain auto mode for a week, the rewards were reset to baseline. Data from 17 participants aged 15.9 years ± 2.5 years (baseline hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] 8.6% ± 1.1%) were collected at 6, 12, and 16 weeks. The reinforcers were withdrawn at 16 weeks, with a follow-up assessment at 24 weeks. RESULTS: With reinforcers, the participants administered an average of at least 3 mealtime insulin boluses per day and wore the sensor over 70% of the time. However, auto mode use waned. HbA1c levels decreased by 0.5% after 6 weeks, and this improvement was maintained at 12 and 16 weeks (P < .05). Upon withdrawal of reinforcers, HbA1c levels increased back to baseline at 24 weeks. CONCLUSION: Compensation for diabetes-related tasks was associated with lower HbA1c levels, consistent administration of mealtime insulin boluses, and sustained sensor use. These results support the potential of financial rewards for improving outcomes in youth with type 1 diabetes.

Background. Griscelli syndrome (GS) is a rare disorder characterized by partial albinism and silver hair with alteration in genes necessary for melanin transport. Type 2 GS is fatal due to severe immunodeficiency without curative stem cell transplant (SCT). Late endocrinopathies are quite common in other disorders after SCT. These complications have not been reported in GS. Case Presentation. A 7-year-old female presented for growth failure with a history of GS status post curative SCT and consequently developed graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). She also had a history of eosinophilic enterocolitis, for which she was taking supraphysiologic glucocorticoids for the past year. She presented with severe short stature along with mild hyperthyroxinemia with subsequent diagnosis of Graves' disease, which was treated with methimazole. GH therapy was commenced due to persistent growth failure, with a robust increase in growth parameters. She started spontaneous puberty; however, initial biochemical evaluation revealed hypergonadotropic hypogonadism with undetectable anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) consistent with low ovarian reserve and premature ovarian failure. Discussion. Growth failure was multifactorial due to her inflammatory condition and poor weight gain from multiple underlying illnesses, including hyperthyroidism, as well as chronic supraphysiologic glucocorticoid use. Although hypothyroidism is more commonly seen after SCT, rare cases of hyperthyroidism have been reported. In addition to SCTs, GvHD and GS have been associated with autoimmune conditions. It is important to monitor pubertal progression as the majority of those treated with alkylating agents prior to SCT have pubertal and ovarian failure and remain at risk for premature menopause.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The aim of these analyses was to characterize the effect of exercise and meals on glucose concentrations in healthy individuals without diabetes. METHODS: Healthy individuals without diabetes (age ≥6 years) with nonobese body mass index were enrolled at 12 centers within the T1D Exchange Clinic Network. Participants wore a blinded Dexcom G6 for up to ten days. Throughout this sensor wear, participants completed a daily log indicating times and type of any exercise and start times of meals and snacks. RESULTS: A total of 153 participants (age 7-80 years) were included in the analyses. Exercise induced a mean change of -15 ± 18 mg/dL from baseline to nadir sensor glucose level. Mean nadir glucose concentration during nights following exercise days was 82 ± 11 mg/dL compared with 85 ± 11 mg/dL during nights following nonexercise days (P = .05). Mean change from baseline to nadir sensor glucose level during aerobic exercise was -15 ± 18 and -9 ± 12 mg/dL for resistance exercise (P = .25). Overnight nadir glucose during nights following aerobic and resistance exercise was 83 ± 12 and 76 ± 14 mg/dL, respectively (P = .25). Overall mean peak postprandial glucose per participant increased from 93 ± 10 mg/dL premeal to 130 ± 13 mg/dL with an average time to peak glucose per participant of 97 ± 31 minutes. Consumption of alcohol on the day prior did not impact overnight mean or nadir glucose. CONCLUSION: The present analysis provides important data characterizing the effect of exercise and meals on glucose in healthy individuals without diabetes. These data provide a repository to which future therapies, whether pharmacologic or technologic, can be compared.

OBJECTIVES: Alcohol consumption has serious potential consequences for persons with type 1 diabetes. This cross-sectional study examined associations between drinking status and diabetes-related outcomes. METHODS: Participants included 934 adults at Type 1 Diabetes Exchange Registry clinics who responded to an e-mail invitation to complete an electronic survey with items on alcohol consumption; glycated hemoglobin (A1C) and body mass index (BMI) were extracted from medical charts. Participants were an average 38±16 years of age, 61% were women and 90% were non-Hispanic white; A1C was 7.8%±1.5%. The sample was made up of 11% (n=103) never drinkers, 9% (n=89) former drinkers, 61% (n=567) current (past year) nonbinge drinkers and 19% (n=174) current binge drinkers. RESULTS: After controlling for covariates, diabetes distress was lower among never drinkers compared with former and nonbinge drinkers (p<0.009). Never drinkers compared with former drinkers had lower odds of past-year severe hypoglycemia (p=0.001) and lower odds of a neuropathy diagnoses (p=0.006). There were omnibus model trends toward associations between drinking status and diabetes self-care (p=0.10) and between drinking status and BMI (p=0.06). Never drinkers did not differ from other groups on daily frequency of blood glucose self-monitoring, A1C or past-year diabetic ketoacidosis (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest complex relationships between drinking and diabetes-related distress, and that recent severe hypoglycemia and the presence of neuropathy may motivate some to stop drinking. Prospective studies may improve understanding of these findings.

OBJECTIVE: To compare efficacy and safety of insulin glargine 300 units/mL (Gla-300) and 100 units/mL (Gla-100) in children and adolescents (6-17 years old) with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: EDITION JUNIOR was a noninferiority, international, open-label, two-arm, parallel-group, phase 3b trial. Participants were randomized 1:1 to Gla-300 or Gla-100, titrated to achieve fasting self-monitored plasma glucose levels of 90-130 mg/dL (5.0-7.2 mmol/L), with continuation of prior prandial insulin. The primary end point was change in HbA1c from baseline to week 26. Other assessments included change in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia with ketosis, and adverse events. RESULTS: In 463 randomized participants (Gla-300, n = 233; Gla-100, n = 230), comparable least squares (LS) mean (SE) reductions in HbA1c were observed from baseline to week 26 (-0.40% [0.06%] for both groups), with LS mean between-group difference of 0.004% (95% CI -0.17 to 0.18), confirming noninferiority at the prespecified 0.3% (3.3 mmol/mol) margin. Mean FPG change from baseline to week 26 was also similar between groups. During the 6-month treatment period, incidence and event rates of severe or documented (≤70 mg/dL [≤3.9 mmol/L]) hypoglycemia were similar between groups. Incidence of severe hypoglycemia was 6.0% with Gla-300 and 8.8% with Gla-100 (relative risk 0.68 [95% CI 0.35-1.30]). Incidence of any hyperglycemia with ketosis was 6.4% with Gla-300 and 11.8% with Gla-100. CONCLUSIONS: Gla-300 provided similar glycemic control and safety profiles to Gla-100 in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, indicating that Gla-300 is a suitable therapeutic option in this population.

There are multiple information sources available to assist families in learning about rapidly advancing diabetes technologies as care options for their children. This study explored where and from whom families of young children with type 1 diabetes get information about diabetes technologies and the valence (positive vs. negative) of that information. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents (86% mothers) of 79 youth <8 years old with type 1 diabetes for ≥6 months, ([mean ± standard deviation] age 5.2 ± 1.5 years, diabetes duration 2.4 ± 1.3 years, 77% white, A1c 63 ± 10 mmol/mol [7.9 ± 0.9%], 66% pump-treated, 58% using continuous glucose monitors [CGMs]). Interviews were transcribed and underwent content analysis to derive central themes. Most parents reported learning about new technologies from three direct sources: diabetes care providers, people with diabetes, and caregivers of children with diabetes. Parents also cited three indirect sources of information: online forums, publications, and diabetes-specific conferences. Parents reported hearing primarily positive things about technologies. Families not using pump and/or CGM noted reluctance to use technology due to family-specific concerns (e.g., cost, child's unwillingness to wear device) rather than information from outside sources. In this subset of parents, many still expressed willingness to initiate use once family-specific concerns were resolved. Parents of young children received largely positive information about diabetes technologies, primarily from health care providers and others familiar with using devices personally or for their children. To maximize diabetes technology use in young children, it is incumbent upon providers to ensure families receive balanced realistic information about benefits and barriers.

Background: Completing phase 3 trials of new drugs for youth with type 2 diabetes is challenging. The Pediatric Diabetes Consortium (PDC) of U.S. pediatric treatment centers developed a Consortium model to improve the efficiency of successfully completing these trials. Aims and Innovations: An aim of the PDC model is to utilize the resources of the PDC Coordinating Center and Executive Committee to improve study protocols, centralize interactions with sponsors, and oversee the performance of PDC Clinical Centers. Key features include a Consulting Group to improve protocol design; Master Service Agreements between the Coordinating Center and Clinical Centers covering confidentiality agreements and contract language; negotiation of a standard Site Budget with Contract Research Organizations (CROs)/Sponsors that reflect actual Clinical Center costs; Weekly Conference Calls with CROs/sponsors to track progress of Clinical Center launches, Monthly Oversight Calls with investigators and study Coordinators to track Clinical Center performance, discuss enrollment strategies, and identify emerging problems. Successes and Challenges: The Consortium model played a key role in the completion of the pivotal trial of liraglutide for treatment of youth with type 2 diabetes. PDC centers also played a pivotal role in exceeding the projected number of randomized subjects needed by two ongoing studies that are nearing completion. Conclusions: While the Consortium model is still a work in progress, PDC has assisted in the successful launch of new type 2 diabetes studies, and negotiations are in underway for PDC participation in pediatric type 1 diabetes and other diabetes-related studies.
