Towards standardization of person-reported outcomes (PROs) in pediatric diabetes research: A consensus report.

Background: Diabetes ranks among the most common chronic conditions in childhood and adolescence. It is unique among chronic conditions, in that clinical outcomes are intimately tied to how the child or adolescent living with diabetes and their parents or carers react to and implement good clinical practice guidance. It is widely recognized that the individual's perspective about the impact of trying to manage the disease together with the burden of self-management should be addressed to achieve optimal health outcomes.

The Use of Automated Insulin Delivery around Physical Activity and Exercise in Type 1 Diabetes: A Position Statement of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) and the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD).

Regular physical activity and exercise (PA) are cornerstones of diabetes care for individuals with type 1 diabetes. In recent years, the availability of automated insulin delivery (AID) systems has improved the ability of people with type 1 diabetes to achieve the recommended glucose target ranges. PA provides additional health benefits but can cause glucose fluctuations, which challenges current AID systems.

Safety and Effectiveness of Glargine 300 U/ml After Switching from Basal Insulins in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes: COMET-T Study.

Introduction: Appropriate glycemic control is paramount for people with type 1 diabetes (PwT1D) by the effective delivery of exogenous insulin. However, glycemic variability and the risk of severe hypoglycemia must be reliably controlled.

Methods: COMET-T is a prospective, multicenter, observational study conducted in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland during 2021-2022 to assess the effectiveness and safety of insulin glargine 300 U/ml (Gla-300) after switching from other basal insulins.

Investigating the effect of verapamil on preservation of beta-cell function in adults with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus (Ver-A-T1D): protocol for a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicentre trial.

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a disorder that arises following the selective autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells. Beta-cell protective or beta-cell regenerative approaches have gained wider attention, and pharmacological approaches to protect the patient's own insulin-producing beta-cell mass have been proposed. Verapamil is an L-type calcium channel blocker that has been reported to effectively lowers beta-cell thioredoxin-interacting protein expression in rodent beta cells and islets, as well as in human islets, and thus promotes functional beta-cell mass.

Consensus Guidance for Monitoring Individuals With Islet Autoantibody-Positive Pre-Stage 3 Type 1 Diabetes.

Given the proven benefits of screening to reduce diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) likelihood at the time of stage 3 type 1 diabetes diagnosis, and emerging availability of therapy to delay disease progression, type 1 diabetes screening programs are being increasingly emphasized. Once broadly implemented, screening initiatives will identify significant numbers of islet autoantibody-positive (IAb+) children and adults who are at risk for (confirmed single IAb+) or living with (multiple IAb+) early-stage (stage 1 and stage 2) type 1 diabetes. These individuals will need monitoring for disease progression; much of this care will happen in nonspecialized settings.

Towards the standardisation of adult person-reported outcome domains in diabetes research: A Consensus Statement development panel.

Diabetes is unique among chronic diseases because clinical outcomes are intimately tied to how the person living with diabetes reacts to and implements treatment recommendations. It is further characterised by widespread social stigma, judgement and paternalism. This physical, social and psychological burden collectively influences self-management behaviours.

Moving from Insulin Substitution to the Treatment of the Underlying Autoimmune Disease in Type 1 Diabetes.

Currently, a paradigm change occurs in type 1 diabetes from insulin substitution to the treatment of the underlying autoimmune disease. Teplizumab, a humanized monoclonal anti-CD3 antibody, is the first FDA-approved disease-modifying treatment of preclinical stage 2 diabetes. Research of drugs like golimumab, a monoclonal antibody specific for TNF alpha, baricitinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, or frexalimab, a monoclonal antibody against the CD40 ligand, is still ongoing.

Association Between Treatment Adherence and Continuous Glucose Monitoring Outcomes in People With Diabetes Using Smart Insulin Pens in a Real-World Setting.

Objective: To evaluate the association of insulin injection adherence, smart insulin pen engagement, and glycemic control using real-world data from 16 countries from adults self-administering basal insulin degludec and bolus insulin with a smart insulin pen (NovoPen 6 or NovoPen Echo Plus) alongside continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

Research Design And Methods: Data were aggregated over 14-day periods. Treatment adherence was defined according to the number of missed basal and missed bolus insulin doses and smart pen engagement according to the number of days with data uploads.

The INNODIA Type 1 Diabetes Natural History Study: a European cohort of newly diagnosed children, adolescents and adults.

Aims/hypothesis: Type 1 diabetes is an heterogenous condition. Characterising factors explaining differences in an individual's clinical course and treatment response will have important clinical and research implications. Our aim was to explore type 1 diabetes heterogeneity, as assessed by clinical characteristics, autoantibodies, beta cell function and glycaemic outcomes, during the first 12 months from diagnosis, and how it relates to age at diagnosis.

Electronic reporting of rare endocrine conditions within a clinical network: results from the EuRRECa project.

Objective: The European Registries for Rare Endocrine Conditions (EuRRECa, eurreb.eu) includes an e-reporting registry (e-REC) used to perform surveillance of conditions within the European Reference Network (ERN) for rare endocrine conditions (Endo-ERN). The aim of this study was to report the experience of e-REC over the 3.

Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes: Lipid goal attainment in a large German-Austrian diabetes registry.

Aim: To assess the implementation of the 2019 European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) guideline recommendations for lipid-lowering therapies among more than 30 000 patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a German and Austrian registry from 2020 to 2022.

Materials And Methods: Registry data from 2020 and 2021 of 32 170 adult patients (8314 patients with T1D and 23 856 with T2D) were stratified according to the 2019 ESC/EAS risk categories, and guideline-based low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) goal attainment was analysed.

Results: In patients with T1D (median age 38.

Intermittent Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring: A New Paradigm in Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes.

Objectives: To suggest how continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) may be used intermittently in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Materials And Methods: The use of CGM is largely in those with type 1 diabetes (T1D), in whom it makes sense to use CGM continuously as CGM provides a valuable tool to not only adjust their insulin doses but also to match it with their diet, physical activity, and other lifestyle modifications. In the case of T2D, however, especially for those not on insulin, the use of CGM may not be needed on a continuous basis.

Prevalence of LDL-hypercholesterolemia and other cardiovascular risk factors in young people with type 1 diabetes.

Background: Mortality and morbidity in people with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is mainly caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD). Early treatment of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) is of great importance.

Objective: To analyze the prevalence of LDL-hypercholesterolemia and other CVRFs in youth with T1D.
