Nutrition analysis - with particular focus on carbohydrate content in kefirs and natural yoghurts in the Polish consumer market.

The aim of the study was to assess the nutrition of selected fermented dairy products available in Polish supermarkets and how many of them meet the criterion set by the European Parliament and Council Act (UE) no. 1924/2006 form 20 December 2006 on nutrition and health claims made on foods regarding low sugar content in a solid product. In the study 100 fermented products, widely available in Polish supermarkets, were selected, and their nutrition was analysed based on the information placed on the producer's label, and the carbohydrate content was compared against the recommended 5 g per 100 g of the solid product.

Psychiatric Comorbidities in Pediatric Monogenic Diabetes due to GCK Mutation: Impact on Diabetes-Related Quality of Life.

Background: Monogenic diabetes caused by mutation in the glucokinase gene (GCK-MD) is a rare disorder manifesting in childhood as mild, prevalent hyperglycemia. By consensus, it is managed by dietary supervision and infrequent consultations. However, its impact on the mental health of the affected children is largely unknown.

How does a predictive low glucose suspend (PLGS) system tackle pediatric lifespan challenges in diabetes treatment? Real world data analysis.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the benefits of a predictive low glucose suspend (PLGS) system in real-life in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes of different age and age-related clinical challenges.

Methods: Real life retrospective and descriptive analysis included 44 children (26 girls) with type 1 diabetes who were introduced to PLGS system. We divided them in three age groups: I (3-6 years old, n = 12), II (7-10 y/o, n = 16), III (11-19 y/o, n = 16).

Dysglycemia in critically ill children.

Stress hyperglycemia remains a significant and unsolved medical condition in critically ill children. Treatment for hyperglycemia is controversial and, to date, no recommendations exist from pediatric professional society regarding the management of hyperglycemia in critically ill children. This review summarizes recent work investigating the pathogenesis of stress hyperglycemia, the importance of hypoglycemic episodes and glycemic variability among critically ill patients.

[Humoral response markers in GCK MODY].

Background: The prevalence of antibodies to pancreatic islets in monogenic diabetes remains unknown and the incidence estimation is difficult as the occurrence of autoantibodies in patient is one of the well-known exclusion criteria for further genetic diagnostics. They has been found not only among patients with type 1 diabetes, but also in other types of diabetes: Type 2 diabetes, Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA) (16) and monogenic diabetes (MD).

Aim: Immunological characteristic of GCK MODY patients.

Genetic counseling in monogenic diabetes GCK MODY.

Introduction: Genetic testing in families with monogenic GCK MODY has predictive, diagnostic, and preventive utility. Predictive tests relate to people who have no features of the disorder themselves at the time of testing. Diagnostic tests relate to family members who have been previously diagnosed with diabetes mellitus or glucose metabolism disturbances.

Carbohydrate-lipid profile and use of metformin with micronized fenofibrate in reducing metabolic consequences of craniopharyngioma treatment in children: single institution experience.

Aim: To evaluate auxology and metabolic disturbances in children with craniopharyngioma, and to present observational results of treatment of metabolic sequels with metformin and micronized fenofibrate.

Methods: The studied group comprised 22 children [median age at diagnosis 10.5 (0.

Helicobacter pylori infection in type 1 diabetes children and adolescents using 13C urea breath test.

There is a 10-30% prevalence of HP infection in the general pediatric population in Poland. This study aimed to determine its prevalence in T1DM children in Upper Silesia, Poland and estimate its influence on metabolic control of patients. We studied 149 (82 female) children with T1DM (duration > 12 months, mean HbA1c) and 298 (164 female) age-matched controls.

Practical approach to childhood craniopharyngioma: a role of an endocrinologist and a general paediatrician.

Objectives: The objectives of this study are to evaluate co-morbidities in patients with craniopharyngioma and to elaborate an interdisciplinary protocol of the follow-up.

Patients And Methods: The group comprised 15 children (median age at the diagnosis, 10.1; mean follow-up period, 4 years).

Evaluation of daily glycemic profiles in well controlled children with type 1 diabetes mellitus using a continuous glucose monitoring system.

Introduction: Effective diabetes mellitus management requires to maintain blood glucose levels in a narrow range between hyperglycemia causing late complications, and danger of severe hypoglycemia. This objective may be difficult to achieve especially in small children.

The Aim Of The Study: Evaluation of daily glycemic profiles obtained using a continuous glucose monitoring system in well controlled children with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
