ObjectiveTo identify the factors associated with residual C peptide production at least 10 years after diagnosis in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.Research design and methods73 children and adolescents (<25 years), born in 1988–2005, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes were included during the 4-year study period (2013–2016). At least 10 years after diagnosis, we measured any remaining C peptide concentration using an ultrasensitive C peptide ELISA (≥1.17 pmol/L). The average hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was calculated during each of the 10 years after diagnosis and further grand average was calculated for the entire study period.ResultsC peptide was detectable in 38% of participants. The C peptide concentration was 4.3±5.3 pmol/L. At onset of type 1 diabetes, participants were on average approximately 5 years of age, and their average HbA1c was 9.4% (79 mmol/mol). During the first 3 years after diagnosis, HbA1c was lower in the group with detectable C peptide at follow-up ≥10 years later. Moreover, detectable C peptide was more common among female participants. Body mass index SD scores had not increased since the 1-year follow-up, but were higher in patients with measurable C peptide. Nine participants (12%) had been diagnosed with celiac disease and two (3%) with hypothyreosis. Eighteen (25%) participants had retinopathy.ConclusionsChildren and adolescents with detectable C peptide after more than 10 years of diabetes duration were predominantly female and had better HbA1c than others during the first 3 years after diagnosis.

<b>Objective:</b> As diabetes technology use in youth increases worldwide, inequalities in access may exacerbate disparities in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). We hypothesized an increasing gap in diabetes technology use by socioeconomic status (SES) would be associated with increased HbA1c disparities. <p> </p> <p><b>Research Design and Methods: </b>Participants aged <18 years with diabetes duration ≥1 year in the Type 1 Diabetes Exchange (T1DX, US, n=16,457) and Diabetes Prospective Follow-up (DPV, Germany, n=39,836) registries were categorized into lowest (Q1) to highest (Q5) SES quintiles. Multiple regression analyses compared the relationship of SES quintiles with diabetes technology use and HbA1c from 2010-2012 and 2016-2018. </p> <p> </p> <p><b>Results: </b>HbA1c was higher in participants with lower SES (in 2010-2012 & 2016-2018, respectively: 8.0% & 7.8% in Q1 and 7.6% & 7.5% in Q5 for DPV; and 9.0% & 9.3% in Q1 and 7.8% & 8.0% in Q5 for T1DX). For DPV, the association between SES and HbA1c did not change between the two time periods, whereas for T1DX, disparities in HbA1c by SES increased significantly (p<0.001). After adjusting for technology use, results for DPV did not change whereas the increase in T1DX was no longer significant.</p> <p> </p> <p><b>Conclusions: </b>Although causal conclusions cannot be drawn, diabetes technology use is lowest and HbA1c is highest in those of the lowest SES quintile in the T1DX and this difference for HbA1c broadened in the last decade.

Abstract Background The preservation or restoration of β cell function in type 1 diabetes (T1D) remains as an attractive and challengeable therapeutic target. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells with high capacity of immunoregulation, which emerged as a promising cell-based therapy for many immune disorders. The objective of this study was to examine the efficacy and safety of one repeated transplantation of allogeneic MSCs in individuals with T1D. Methods This was a nonrandomized, open-label, parallel-armed prospective study. MSCs were isolated from umbilical cord (UC) of healthy donors. Fifty-three participants including 33 adult-onset (≥ 18 years) and 20 juvenile-onset T1D were enrolled. Twenty-seven subjects (MSC-treated group) received an initial systemic infusion of allogeneic UC-MSCs, followed by a repeat course at 3 months, whereas the control group (n = 26) only received standard care based on intensive insulin therapy. Data at 1-year follow-up was reported in this study. The primary endpoint was clinical remission defined as a 10% increase from baseline in the level of fasting and/or postprandial C-peptide. The secondary endpoints included side effects, serum levels of HbA1c, changes in fasting and postprandial C-peptide, and daily insulin doses. Results After 1-year follow-up, 40.7% subjects in MSC-treated group achieved the primary endpoint, significantly higher than that in the control arm. Three subjects in MSC-treated group, in contrast to none in control group, achieved insulin independence and maintained insulin free for 3 to 12 months. Among the adult-onset T1D, the percent change of postprandial C-peptide was significantly increased in MSC-treated group than in the control group. However, changes in fasting or postprandial C-peptide were not significantly different between groups among the juvenile-onset T1D. Multivariable logistic regression assay indicated that lower fasting C-peptide and higher dose of UC-MSC correlated with achievement of clinical remission after transplantation. No severe side effects were observed. Conclusion One repeated intravenous dose of allogeneic UC-MSCs is safe in people with recent-onset T1D and may result in better islet β cell preservation during the first year after diagnosis compared to standard treatment alone.

AbstractTo determine whether continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) vs. multiple daily injections (MDI) therapy from near-diagnosis of type 1 diabetes is associated with reduced glycaemic variability (GV) and altered microRNA (miRNAs) expression. Adolescents (74% male) within 3-months of diabetes diagnosis (n = 27) were randomized to CSII (n = 12) or MDI. HbA1c, 1-5-Anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), high sensitivity C-peptide and a custom TaqMan qPCR panel of 52 miRNAs were measured at baseline and follow-up (median (LQ-UQ); 535 (519–563) days). There were no significant differences between groups in baseline or follow-up HbA1c or C-peptide, nor baseline miRNAs. Mean ± SD 1,5-AG improved with CSII vs. MDI (3.1 ± 4.1 vs. − 2.2 ± − 7.0 mg/ml respectively, P = 0.029). On follow-up 11 miRNAs associated with diabetes vascular complications had altered expression in CSII-users. Early CSII vs. MDI use is associated with lower GV and less adverse vascular-related miRNAs. Relationships with future complications are of interest.

Aim — The establishment of mechanisms for T1D development at early and late preclinical stages of disease formation in children and adolescents. Material and methods. At the State Institution «V.P. Komisarenko Institute of Endocrinology and Metabolism of NAMS of Ukraine» mentioned the Program «Immunity in the preclinical period of T1D development» was initiated, on the basis of which the Register of marker-positive children with predictable development of type 1 diabetes was created, which includes 612 children aged from 7 to 15 years with burdened heredity, in which the titer of diabetes-associated autobodies (DAA), cytokines, levels of basal and postprandial glycemia and secretion of C-peptide at preclinical and clinical stages of T1D development in children and adolescents based on the performed clinical and immunological study. Results. The new data have been obtained at the State Institution «V.P. Komisarenko Institute of Endocrinology and Metabolism of NAMS of Ukraine», which allowed to substantially supplement the existing ideas about the type 1 diabetes (T1D) pathogenesis. As a result of the performed study, a group of marker-positive children with burdened heredity and a predicted risk of developing the disease was formed. It was found that an increased titer of DAA was observed in 162 (35.45%) of 457 children with burdened heredity with no less than two times determination of DAA presence in them, mainly GADA and IA‑2A, the clinical debut was manifested in 86 (53.08%) of them from 6 months to 16 years (27.4±4.3 months). The formula of combined occurrence and values of simultaneously increased DAA titers to islet autoantigens, namely IA‑2A + GADA, was determined, which is a predictor of both the duration of preclinical stage of T1D development and the debut rate. Impaired cytokine production (increase of the level of proinflammatory cytokines IL‑1α, IL‑6 and TNFα, IL‑8 and IL‑16 while reducing the concentration of IL‑4 in the PB) as key factors of the T1D pathogenesis, which determine the rate of T1D debut, and the aggressiveness of its course were also established. It was found that the early preclinical period of T1D development in DAA+ children was characterized by the presence of dysglycemia in the form of increased glycemia in 2 hour after the glucose tolerance test and a slight decrease in secretion of stimulated C-peptide; in addition, dysglycemia in the form of impaired fasting glycemia was added in DAA+children in the late preclinical period, and a decrease in both basal and stimulated secretion of the C-peptide was determined, indicating that the potential of pancreatic beta cells was depleted.

Abstract Background Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by immune-mediated destruction of the β-cells. After initiation of insulin therapy many patients experience a period of improved residual β-cell function leading to partial disease remission. Cytokines are important immune-modulatory molecules and contribute to β-cell damage in T1D. The patterns of systemic circulating cytokines during T1D remission are not clear but may constitute biomarkers of disease status and progression. In this study, we investigated if the plasma levels of various pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines around time of diagnosis were predictors of remission and residual β-cell function in children with T1D followed for one year after disease onset. Methods In a cohort of 63 newly diagnosed children (33% females) with T1D with a mean age of 11.3 years (3.3–17.7), ten cytokines were measured of which eight were detectable in plasma samples by Mesoscale Discovery multiplex technology at study start and after 6 and 12 months. Linear regression models were used to evaluate association of cytokines with stimulated C-peptide. Results Systemic levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-6 inversely correlated with stimulated C-peptide levels over the entire study (P < 0.05). The concentrations of TNFα and IL-10 at study start predicted stimulated C-peptide level at 6 months (P = 0.011 and P = 0.043, respectively, adjusted for sex, age, HbA1c and stage of puberty). Conclusions In recent-onset T1D, systemic cytokine levels, and in particular that of TNFα, correlate with residual β-cell function and may serve as prognostic biomarkers of disease remission and progression to optimize treatment strategies. Trial Registration The study was performed according to the criteria of the Helsinki II Declaration and was approved by the Danish Capital Region Ethics Committee on Biomedical Research Ethics (journal number H-3-2014-052). The parents of all participants gave written consent.

Abstract Objective: Obesity was once a rare problem in Type 1 diabetes mellitus, but is a growing problem today. The aim of our study is to determine the frequency of overweight / obesity at the time of diagnosis and during follow-up in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus as well as review the conditions that may accompany. Methods: 315 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to the last examination as normal weight and overweight / obese. The two groups were compared in terms of age at diagnosis, gender, birth weight, family history, anthropometric measurements, insulin dose used and blood pressure measurements, and insulin, c-peptide, hemoglobin A1c, triglyceride, and high-density lipoprotein levels at the time of diagnosis and follow-up. Results: The prevalence of overweight / obese in all patients was 4.8% at the time of diagnosis, while it was 9.8% at the last examination. The height, weight and BMI SD scores and c-peptide levels at the time of diagnosis of the overweight / obese group were higher than those with normal weight (p <0.001 and p = 0.008, respectively). The frequency of dyslipidemia and hypertension was higher in the overweight / obese group than in the normal weight group [18.2% versus 5% (p = 0.015) and 10% versus 1.5% (p = 0.003), respectively]. Conclusion: In our study, the fact that the overweight / obese group had higher BMI and c-peptide and lower HDL values at the time of diagnosis can be evaluated as indicators that insulin resistance syndrome can accompany T1DM from the beginning (double diabetes). When determining the treatment and follow-up strategies of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, considering the risk of obesity and taking the necessary precautions is very important in terms of morbidity.
