Abstrakt Background Diabetes and periodontitis belong to the group of civilizational diseases, which are not associated with any specific bacterial or viral infection but with the rapid development of civilization and technological advances that affect comfort and quality of life. Civilizational diseases occur in highly developed and developing societies. Glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is one of the standard indicators for the assessment of metabolic compensation in diabetes that reflects the risk of disease complications. One of the significant complications of diabetes that manifests in the oral cavity is gingival and periodontal inflammation, which is directly related to increased insulin resistance and worsened diabetes compensation. Factors influencing inflammation are the patient’s age, directly linked with fine motor skills when it comes to cleaning teeth, and patients’ awareness related to cause-and-effect relationship between dental hygiene, gingival and periodontal inflammation, and HbA1c testing during routine check-ups. Objectives To compare the relationship between gingival inflammation and metabolic compensation (HbA1c levels), depending on the patient’s age. Materials and methods The study involved 100 patients (50 adolescents and 50 adults, 42 M; 58 F) with type 1 diabetes. The study group was divided according to sex and age into 19 male adolescent patients (10–18 years old; mean age 15.5) and 23 male adult patients (19–45 years old; mean age 27.1). The mean duration of diabetes was 7 years in the group of adolescents and 11 years in the group of adults. The HbA1c levels and gingival index (GI) were measured in all patients. The obtained results were statistically analyzed. Results By comparing the study groups, higher HbA1c values were reported in the group of adolescents. HbA1c has been shown to correlate with the GI in adolescents and adults. Despite poorer compensation for diabetes (higher HbA1c), GI values were similar in adolescents and adults.

Aim. This systematic review aimed at investigating the effectiveness of structured education (SE) in improving glycemic control and psychological outcomes in adolescent and adult patients with type 1 diabetes. Methods. Electronic databases (EMBASE, Medline, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library) and the reference lists of included studies were searched from the beginning of the database through April 2019. Randomized controlled trials comparing SE with a control condition and reporting a change in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level were included. The primary outcome was glycemic control measured by HbA1c. Secondary outcomes were diabetes-related distress, well-being, depression, and quality of life. Results. Eighteen studies representing 2759 patients were included. Twelve studies targeted adolescents and six targeted adults. Adolescent patients who were randomized to the intervention group did not show significant improvement of HbA1c in the short (SMD = −0.04; 95% CI: −0.14 to 0.06; P=0.41), medium (SMD = −0.03; 95% CI: −0.13 to 0.07; P=0.55), and long term (SMD = 0.04; 95% CI: −0.16 to 0.25; P=0.66) or of diabetes self-efficacy (SMD = −0.17; 95% CI: −0.33 to 0.00; overall effect P=0.05). However, SE was effective in reducing HbA1c levels in adult patients with inadequate baseline control (HbA1c higher than 7.5%) (SMD = −0.52; 95% CI: −0.86 to −0.17; P=0.003). SE significantly improved the well-being and psychological distress of adult patients but had no effect on the extent of depression. Conclusions. Development of more efficient SE programs according to the patients’ personal characteristics is needed.

Aims: Our aim was to investigate the impact of glycemic variability (GV) on the relationship between glucose management indicator (GMI) and laboratory glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Methods: Adult patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) were enrolled from five hospitals in China. All subjects wore the iPro™2 system for 14 days before HbA1c was measured at baseline, 3 months and 6 months. Data derived from iPro™2 sensor was used to calculate GMI and GV parameters [standard deviation (SD), glucose coefficient of variation (CV), and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE)]. Differences between GMI and laboratory HbA1c were assessed by the absolute value of the hemoglobin glycation index (HGI). Results: A total of 91 sensor data and corresponding laboratory HbA1c, as well as demographic and clinical characteristics were analyzed. GMI and HbA1c were 7.20 ± 0.67% and 7.52 ± 0.73%, respectively. The percentage of subjects with absolute HGI 0 to lower than 0.1% was 21%. GMI was significantly associated with laboratory HbA1c after basic adjustment (standardized β = 0.83, p < 0.001). Further adjustment for SD or MAGE reduced the standardized β for laboratory HbA1c from 0.83 to 0.71 and 0.73, respectively (both p < 0.001). In contrast, the β remained relatively constant when further adjusting for CV. Spearman correlation analysis showed that GMI and laboratory HbA1c were correlated for each quartile of SD and MAGE (all p < 0.05), with the corresponding correlation coefficients decreased across ascending quartiles. Conclusions: This study validated the GMI formula using the iPro™2 sensor in adult patients with T1D. GV influenced the relationship between GMI and laboratory HbA1c.

AbstractBackground:Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is a metabolic disease causing hyperglycemia due to β-cell destruction. Despite adequate treatment, complications such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) are common. The first aim was to investigate if acute onset of type 1 diabetes differed between those who had developed retinopathy and who had not after 15 years from diagnosis. The second aim was to investigate if mean glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels affect the time to development of DR.Methods:The medical records of all children and adolescents diagnosed with type 1 diabetes during 1993–2001 in our area in Sweden were studied retrospectively and the mean HbA1ceach year until the development of retinopathy was investigated. In total 72 patients were included and the follow-up time was between 15 and 23 years. Gender, p-glucose, age and HbA1cat diagnosis were analyzed for possible correlations to years to retinopathy.Results:HbA1cwas significantly higher among those who had developed DR after 15 years from diagnosis, 98±9.2 (n=25) vs. 86±9.2 (n=46; p=0.025). A negative correlation was found between age at diagnosis and years to DR (rs=−0.376; p=0.026). Mean HbA1clevels at years 6–10 after diabetes diagnosis correlated significantly (rs=−0.354, p=0.037) to years until retinopathy. Mean HbA1clevels at years 1–15 after diabetes diagnosis were significantly higher at years 2–3 and years 5–8 for those who had developed retinopathy after 15 years from diagnosis.Conclusions:Higher HbA1clevels shortened the time to development of retinopathy. It is therefore important to keep HbA1cas close to normal as possible.

BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia that occurs due to impaired both in insulin secretion and insulin action. Children with type 1 diabetes mellitus should be targeted to achieve a glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) level ≤7.0% to reduce the risk of complications and improve quality of life. The majority of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus exhibit poor self-care and Health-related Quality of life behavior. AIM: The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between HbA1C level and the quality of life among type 1 diabetes mellitus in children. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 30 children with type 1 diabetes mellitus who attended at pediatric endocrine clinic Haji Adam Malik general hospital and Universitas Sumatera Utara hospital Medan. Sampling was carried out in April 2020–July 2020. HbA1C level and self-administered questionnaire were used to assess the quality of life. Spearman correlation test was conducted to assess the correlation between HbA1C levels and the quality of life. RESULTS: The mean of HbA1C level was 10.35 ± 2.68. No significant correlation between HbA1C level and the quality of life of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (r = 0.264, p > 0.05) CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant correlation between HbA1C levels and the quality of life of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

<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. Associations of SES with technology use and HbA1c were weaker in the DPV registry. </p>

There are not many real-world studies evaluating daily insulin doses requirements (DIDR) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using second-generation basal insulin analogs, and such comparison is necessary. The aim of this study was to compare DIDR in individuals with T1D using glargine 300 UI/mL (IGlar-300) or degludec (IDeg) in real clinical practice. An observational, retrospective study was designed in 412 patients with T1D (males: 52%; median age 37.0±13.4 years, diabetes duration: 18.7±12.3 years) using IDeg and IGla-300 ≥6 months to compare DIDR between groups. Patients using IGla-300 (n=187) were more frequently males (59% vs 45.8%; p=0.004) and had lower glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (7.6±1.2 vs 8.1%±1.5%; p<0.001) than patients using IDeg (n=225). Total (0.77±0.36 unit/kg/day), basal (0.43±0.20 unit/kg/day) and prandial (0.33±0.23 unit/kg/day) DIDR were similar in IGla-300 and IDeg groups. Patients with HbA1c ≤7% (n=113) used significantly lower basal (p=0.045) and total (p=0.024) DIDR, but not prandial insulin (p=0.241), than patients with HbA1c between 7.1% and 8% and >8%. Patients using IGla-300 and IDeg used similar basal, prandial and total DIDR regardless of metabolic control subgroup. No difference in basal, prandial and total DIDR was observed between patients with T1D using IGla-300 or IDeg during at least 6 months in routine clinical practice.
