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.
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 investigate the psychosocial burden during the COVID-19 pandemic in adolescents with type 1 diabetes and its association with metabolic control.
Methods: Prospective multicenter observational cohort study based on data from the German Diabetes Prospective Follow-up Registry. Adolescents aged 12-20 years with type 1 diabetes were asked during routine follow-up visits to complete a questionnaire on psychosocial distress and daily use of electronic media during the COVID-19 pandemic from June 2021 to November 2022.
Context: The condition when a person's gender identity does not match the sex assigned at birth is called gender incongruence (GI). Numbers of GI people seeking medical care increased tremendously over the last decade. Diabetes mellitus is a severe and lifelong disease.
