Paediatric-to-adult transition in type 1 diabetes: A two-centre experience of a structured program, 2014 to 2022.

Background: Transition from paediatric to adult healthcare is a turning point for patients with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). A gradual coordinated process connecting paediatric and adult healthcare providers may improve adherence to adult follow-up.

Aims: To describe a transition process developed jointly by paediatric and adult diabetology units and compare patients progressing or not to follow-up in adult care setting.

Factors associated with high costs of patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: an observational study using the French CONSTANCES cohort.

Background & Aims: Despite its high prevalence in the western world metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) does not benefit from targeted pharmacological therapy. We measured healthcare utilisation and identified factors associated with high-cost MASLD patients in France.

Methods: The prevalent population with MASLD (including non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) in the CONSTANCES cohort, a nationally representative sample of 200,000 adults aged between 18 and 69, was linked to the French centralised national claims database (SNDS).

Prospective head-to-head comparison of non-invasive scores for diagnosis of fibrotic MASH in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Background & Aims: Non-invasive scores have been proposed to identify patients with fibrotic, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), who are at the highest risk of progression to complications of cirrhosis and may benefit from pharmacologic treatments. However, data in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are lacking. The aim of this multicenter prospective study was to perform a head-to-head comparison of FAST (FibroScan-aspartate aminotransferase [AST]), MAST (MRI-AST), MEFIB (magnetic resonance elastography [MRE] plus FIB-4), and FNI (fibrotic NASH index) for detecting fibrotic MASH in patients with T2DM.

Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy in subjects with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and diabetes mellitus: a real-life, case-control study.

Background: Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) can be associated with all types of diabetes. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) has short and long-term benefits in subjects with EPI, but its effects on diabetes control are uncertain. We aimed to study the effects of PERT initiation on glycemic control in subjects with diabetes and EPI from any cause.

[Proinsulin: physiology, measurement, and interest in clinical biology].

The proinsulin molecule results from the cleavage of pre-pro-insulin, produced in pancreatic beta cells. Its subsequent -cleavage allows the release of insulin, the key hormone of glycemia regulation and C-peptide in equimolar proportions. During fasting trial, insulinoma diagnosis relies on inadequately high insulin and C-peptide serum levels concomitant with an hypoglycemia.

The Prognosis of Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Antibodies in Women With Hyperglycemia in Pregnancy.

Context: We recently reported that the presence of glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (GADA) was not associated with large-for-gestational-age infants in women with hyperglycemia in pregnancy (HIP).

Objective: We explored the association between the presence of GADA and other HIP-related adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Methods: This observational prospective study, conducted at a university hospital in a suburb of Paris, France, included 1182 consecutive women with HIP measured for GADA at HIP care initiation between 2012 and 2017.

Protein supplementation changes gut microbial diversity and derived metabolites in subjects with type 2 diabetes.

High-protein diets are promoted for individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, effects of dietary protein interventions on (gut-derived) metabolites in T2D remains understudied. We therefore performed a multi-center, randomized-controlled, isocaloric protein intervention with 151 participants following either 12-week high-protein (HP; 30Energy %, N = 78) vs.

CT imaging shows specific pancreatic abnormalities in persons with cystic fibrosis related diabetes.

Cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) is observed in 20-50% of adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). Pancreas abnormalities on imaging, e.g.

HNF1B-MODY Masquerading as Type 1 Diabetes: A Pitfall in the Etiological Diagnosis of Diabetes.

Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1B (HNF1B) maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), also referred to as "renal cysts and diabetes syndrome" or MODY-5, is a rare form of monogenic diabetes that is caused by a deletion or a point mutation in the HNF1B gene, a developmental gene that plays a key role in regulating urogenital and pancreatic development. HNF1B-MODY has been characterized by its association with renal, hepatic and other extrapancreatic features. We present the case of a 39-year-old female patient who was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, but then, owing to the absence of anti-islet autoantibodies and to the disease's progression, was labeled later on as having atypical type 2 diabetes.

Decreased steroidogenic enzyme activity in benign adrenocortical tumors is more pronounced in bilateral lesions as determined by steroid profiling in LC-MS/MS during ACTH stimulation test.

Objective: Large response of steroid precursors, including 17-hydroxyprogesterone, to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) has been described in adrenocortical tumors, suggesting the existence of intra-tumoral enzymatic deficiencies. This study aimed to compare steroidogenesis enzymes activity in unilateral and bilateral benign tumors using serum steroid profiling in liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in the basal state and after ACTH 1-24 stimulation.

Design And Methods: A serum profile of seven consecutive adrenal steroids was determined in LC-MS/MS in the basal state (T0) and after ACTH 1-24 stimulation (T60) in 35 patients with bilateral adrenocortical tumors (BL), 38 patients with unilateral tumors (UL) and 37 control subjects (CT).

Insulin allergy: a diagnostic and therapeutic strategy based on a retrospective cohort and a case-control study.

Aims/hypothesis: Insulin allergy is a rare but significant clinical challenge. We aimed to develop a management workflow by (1) validating clinical criteria to guide diagnosis, based on a retrospective cohort, and (2) assessing the diagnostic performance of confirmatory tests, based on a case-control study.

Methods: In the retrospective cohort, patients with suspected insulin allergy were classified into three likelihood categories according to the presence of all (likely insulin allergy; 26/52, 50%), some (possible insulin allergy; 9/52, 17%) or none (unlikely insulin allergy; 17/52, 33%) of four clinical criteria: (1) recurrent local or systemic immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reactions; (2) reactions elicited by each injection; (3) reactions centred on the injection sites; and (4) reactions observed by the investigator (i.

Performance of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring systems in people with type 1 diabetes: A pooled analysis.

Aims: To conduct a pooled analysis to assess the performance of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) in association with the rate of change in sensor glucose in a cohort of children, adolescents, and adults with type 1 diabetes.

Material And Methods: In this pooled analysis, isCGM system accuracy was assessed depending on the rate of change in sensor glucose. Clinical studies that have been investigating isCGM accuracy against blood glucose, accompanied with collection time points were included in this analysis.

Design of a prospective, longitudinal cohort of people living with type 1 diabetes exploring factors associated with the residual cardiovascular risk and other diabetes-related complications: The SFDT1 study.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular (CV) complications, even after controlling for traditional CV risk factors. Therefore, determinants of the residual increased CV morbidity and mortality remain to be discovered. This prospective cohort of people living with T1DM in France (SFDT1) will include adults and children aged over six years living with T1DM, recruited throughout metropolitan France and overseas French departments and territories.

A Humanized Mouse Strain That Develops Spontaneously Immune-Mediated Diabetes.

To circumvent the limitations of available preclinical models for the study of type 1 diabetes (T1D), we developed a new humanized model, the YES-RIP-hB7.1 mouse. This mouse is deficient of murine major histocompatibility complex class I and class II, the murine insulin genes, and expresses as transgenes the HLA-A*02:01 allele, the diabetes high-susceptibility HLA-DQ8A and B alleles, the human insulin gene, and the human co-stimulatory molecule B7.

Immunoregulated insulitis and slow-progressing type 1 diabetes after duodenopancreatectomy.

Aims/hypothesis: We report the case of a woman who underwent a partial pancreatectomy for a serous cystadenoma when aged 56 years. She had been diagnosed with diabetes 6 years before and had Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Despite positive anti-GAD autoantibodies (GADA) and previous surgery, she was transiently weaned off long-acting insulin.

Diabetes Increases Severe COVID-19 Outcomes Primarily in Younger Adults.

Context: Diabetes is reported as a risk factor for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but whether this risk is similar in all categories of age remains unclear.

Objective: To investigate the risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes in hospitalized patients with and without diabetes according to age categories.

Design Setting And Participants: We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study of 6314 consecutive patients hospitalized for COVID-19 between February and 30 June 2020 in the Paris metropolitan area, France; follow-up was recorded until 30 September 2020.
