Background/objective: Multiple factors have been proposed to explain the increasing prevalence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), including psychological stress. The prevalence of gender dysphoria (GD) in youth is also growing. Identifying environmental triggers, such as psychological minority stress experienced by youth with GD, that may influence the pathogenesis and management of T1DM could have important clinical implications. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of concurrent diagnosis of T1DM and GD in adolescents evaluated at a university-based children's hospital.
Methods: An electronic data extraction was conducted at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics from 1 November 2007 to 1 November 2017. Inclusion criteria included age 10 to 21 years and diagnosis of T1DM and/or GD. Prevalence rates were calculated for T1DM and GD. For adolescents with T1DM and GD, information related to diagnosis, treatment, and psychiatric history was collected.
Results: The prevalence for T1DM was 2.69 per 1000; the prevalence for GD was 0.42 per 1000. Eight adolescents had T1DM and GD. In adolescents with GD, the prevalence of T1DM was 9.4-fold higher than the prevalence of T1DM alone (24.77 vs 2.68 per 1000). Five adolescents were seen in GD clinic and their glycemic control initially improved after the first GD clinic visit.
Conclusions: There was an increased prevalence of a concurrent diagnosis of T1DM in those with GD compared to the general population. Glycemic control improved after the first GD clinic visit in adolescents with T1DM and GD, which may be secondary to stress reduction.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the detection rate of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) among children with Graves' disease (GD) at a single center and to compare clinical characteristics between those with isolated GD and those GD with APS (APS-GD).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 555 patients and were categorized into isolated GD and APS-GD groups based on their progression status. The time for FT to return to normal was used as an indicator of short-term treatment effectiveness.

This study assessed trends in age-standardized incidence (ASIR), prevalence (ASPR), and mortality rates (ASMR) per 100,000 population for asthma, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Psoriasis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) in China from 1990 to 2021 and projected ASIR trends through 2046. Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study. Trends in ASIR, ASPR, and ASMR were analyzed using Joinpoint regression to calculate annual percentage change (APC) and average APC (AAPC).

Background: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of death in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). However, conventional risk factors do not fully account for the increased risk. This study aimed to investigate whether serum proteins associate with diabetes status and the occurrence of CVD in T1DM.

Backgrounds: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major complication of diabetes, which is rising among adolescents and young adults worldwide, but data on the trends of these diseases are sparse. This study examined the burden of CKD due to type 1 diabetes (CKD-T1D) and type 2 diabetes (CKD-T2D) among those aged 10-35 from 1990 to 2021 on global, regional, and national levels.
Methods: Using Global Burden of Disease 2021 data, joinpoint regression analysis and decomposition analysis were employed to identify significant changes in CKD-T1D and CKD-T2D trends, including incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs).
