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.

Background: The effect of closed-loop insulin delivery on the risk of acute diabetes complications in people with type 1 diabetes is unclear. 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.

To analyze the ecological relationship between COVID-19 incidence in the total population and type 1 diabetes (T1D) incidence in children and adolescents, spatiotemporal models were applied considering time lags from 0 to 12 months. The results do not indicate a positive correlation between COVID-19 incidence and T1D incidence.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the relationship between Time in Range (TIR) and Time in Tight Range (TTR) with HbA1c levels in youth and young adults with type 1 diabetes using data from a large diabetes registry.
  • Results showed a strong correlation between TIR and TTR (r = 0.965) and between both metrics and HbA1c levels, indicating that higher TIR and TTR are associated with lower HbA1c levels.
  • Moreover, regression analysis suggested that TIR might be a slightly better predictor of HbA1c compared to TTR, especially in individuals with high blood glucose variability.

Introduction: We aimed to characterise and compare individuals diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D), latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), in a real-world setting.

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.

Article Synopsis
  • The COVID-19 pandemic led to significant lifestyle changes, prompting this study to analyze trends in body mass index (BMI) among individuals with type 1 diabetes across three international registries from 2018 to 2021.
  • Data collected from registries in Germany/Austria/Luxembourg/Switzerland, the USA, and Australia/New Zealand showed a consistent rise in BMI SDS for children and adolescents in one registry, while changes varied in others.
  • Nearly 50% of participants were found to be overweight or obese, with an increase in prevalence of obesity among younger children during the pandemic years.

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.

In a fragment-based approach using NMR spectroscopy, benzyloxyacetohydroxamic acid-derived inhibitors of the bacterial deacetylase LpxC bearing a substituent to target the uridine diphosphate-binding site of the enzyme were developed. 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.

Article Synopsis
  • Some young people with extreme obesity (very high body weight) face more physical pain and mental health issues than those with less obesity.
  • In a study of 431 youths, those with extreme obesity reported more pain, depression, and lower quality of life.
  • Girls with extreme obesity experienced more pain and depression than boys, showing that it's important to focus on both pain relief and mental health support for these young people.

Introduction & Objectives: To evaluate whether cardiovascular risk factors and their management differ in primary prevention between adult males and females with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in two European countries in 2020-2022 and sex inequalities in achievement of standards of care in diabetes.

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.
