The type 1 diabetes incidence was analyzed in 0- to 14-year-old children in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, from 1996 to 2022. The data revealed an overall increasing trend, with variations by age and sex. The incidence increased in boys across age groups but peaked in girls in the 5-9-year age group.

We investigated whether the rates of severe hypoglycaemia and diabetic ketoacidosis are lower with hybrid closed-loop insulin therapy compared with sensor-augmented (open-loop) pump therapy in a large cohort of young people.
Methods: In this population-based cohort study, we evaluated young people with type 1 diabetes from 250 diabetes centres in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Luxembourg participating in the Diabetes Prospective Follow-up (DPV) initiative.
Introduction: The incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at the time of diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in youth varies between countries and is influenced by socioeconomic factors. We investigated the relationship between regional deprivation indices and DKA at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in six countries.
Methods: We analyzed children 0.
Background: Advances in paediatric type 1 diabetes management and increased use of diabetes technology have led to improvements in glycaemia, reduced risk of severe hypoglycaemia, and improved quality of life. Since 1993, progressively lower HbA targets have been set. The aim of this study was to perform a longitudinal analysis of HbA, treatment regimens, and acute complications between 2013 and 2022 using data from eight national and one international paediatric diabetes registries.

The results do not indicate a positive correlation between COVID-19 incidence and T1D incidence.

Methods: Anthropometric and clinical data from 36 959 people with diabetes diagnosed at age 30-70 years enrolled in the prospective diabetes patients follow-up (DPV) registry from 1995 to 2022 were analysed cross-sectionally at diagnosis and follow-up (≥6 months after diagnosis). LADA was defined as clinical diagnosis of T2D, positivity of ≥1 islet autoantibody and an insulin-free interval of ≥6 months upon diabetes diagnosis.
Background: Individuals with maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) are often misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes and receive inappropriate care. We aimed to investigate the characteristics and treatment of all MODY types in a multicenter, real-world setting.
Methods: Individuals with MODY from the diabetes prospective follow-up (DPV) registry were studied.
This study aimed to characterize the role of female sex in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. In the retinae of female Ins2Akita-diabetic mice (F-IA), ovariectomized female Ins2Akita-diabetic mice (F-IA/OVX), male Ins2Akita-diabetic mice (M-IA), and female STZ-diabetic mice (F-STZ), the formation of reactive metabolites and post-translational modifications, damage to the neurovascular unit, and expression of cellular stress response genes were analyzed. Compared to the male diabetic retina, the concentrations of the glycation adduct fructosyl-lysine, the Maillard product 3-deoxyglucosone, and the reactive metabolite methylglyoxal were significantly reduced in females.

By appending privileged fragments via a suitable linker, potent LpxC inhibitors with promising antibacterial activities could be obtained, like the one-digit nanomolar LpxC inhibitor ()- [ (LpxC C63A) = 9.5 nM; (LpxC): 5.

Methods: We used 2020-2022 data of patients without a cardiovascular history in the Prospective Diabetes Follow-up registry (DPV) centres, in Germany, and the Société Francophone du Diabète- Cohorte Diabète de Type 1 cohort (SFDT1), in France.
Results: We included 2,657 participants from the DPV registry and 1,172 from the SFDT1 study.
Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of early clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes by comparison of clinical parameters at diagnosis and during follow-up in patients with pediatric type 1 diabetes with early, intermediate, and late diagnosis.
Research Design And Methods: In a population-based analysis, data on 14,292 pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes diagnosed between 2015 and 2019 were retrieved from the Diabetes Prospective Documentation (DPV) registry in March 2023. Patients were divided into four groups: one with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at diagnosis and three with early, intermediate, or late diagnosis based on age-dependent HbA1c terciles.

Objective: This study investigated the onset and the choice of treatment in children with very early onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D).
Methods: The study included 5,763 patients from the German Diabetes Patient Follow-up registry with onset of T1D in the first 4 years of life from January 2010 - June 2022. The analysis included diabetes-specific parameters, anthropometric data, and mode of treatment at onset, within the first and second year of T1D.
Purpose: To compare the changes in body weight and glycemic control before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods: In 47,065 individuals with T1D from the German Diabetes Prospective Follow-up Registry (DPV), we compared the adjusted mean changes in BMI-Z-scores and HbA1c as well as the distribution of individual changes between four periods from March 2018 to February 2022, by sex and age group (4- < 11, 11- < 16, 16-50 years).
Results: At population level, the only significant pandemic effects were a slight increase in BMI Z-score in prepubertal children (girls: + 0.
Introduction: Currently, over two million war refugees live in Germany. Exposure to war and flight is associated with a high burden of diseases, not limited to mental disorders and infections. We aimed to analyze diabetes treatment and outcomes of pediatric refugees and migrants from Ukraine and Syria/Afghanistan with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in German-speaking countries.

This study aimed to compare the incidences of comorbid mental disorders and substance misuse in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes before and during the pandemic.
Methods: A total of 42,975 patients aged 6-18 years from the multicentre DPV (Diabetes Prospective Follow-up) registry were included.
