Aim. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis in children and adolescents with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes in 2006-2007 and 2013-2014.Method. The study group consisted of 426 children aged 0–18 years with type 1 diabetes onset admitted to our hospital in 2006-2007 (group A) and 2013-2014 (group B). The study comprised the analysis of medical and laboratory records from patients’ medical charts and the electronic database.Results. There was no difference between groups A and B in the percentage of children admitted with diabetic ketoacidosis (25% versus 28%, resp.,P=0.499). Among children with diabetic ketoacidosis, severe metabolic decompensation (pH < 7.1) appeared in similar frequency in groups A and B (28% versus 30%, resp.,P=0.110). In group B, children with diabetic ketoacidosis were statistically younger compared to patients without ketoacidosis(P=0.015)and had higher HbA1c levels(P=0.006). In both groups, a 2-fold increase in diabetic ketoacidosis was noted in children under the age of 3, compared to overall frequency.Conclusion. No decrease in diabetic ketoacidosis has been noted in the recent years. Although the prevalence and severity of diabetic ketoacidosis remain stable, they are unacceptably high. The youngest children are especially prone to ketoacidosis.

<b>Objective. </b>This study assessed whether a single diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) episode is associated with cognitive declines in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, and whether the same is true in children who had been previously diagnosed after accounting for variations in glycemic control and other relevant factors.<b> Design. </b>We prospectively enrolled 758 children, 6- to 18-years-old, who presented with DKA in a randomized multi-site clinical trial evaluating intravenous fluid protocols for DKA treatment. DKA was moderate/severe in 430 children and mild in 328 children. 392 children with DKA had new onset of type 1 diabetes, and the rest were previously diagnosed. Neurocognitive assessment occurred 2-6 months after the DKA episode. A comparison group of 376 children with type 1 diabetes, but no DKA exposure, was also enrolled. <b>Results. </b>Among all patients, moderate/severe DKA was associated with lower IQ (β=-.12, p<0.001), item-color recall (β=-0.08, p=0.010), and forward digit span (β=-0.06, p=0.04). Among newly diagnosed patients, moderate/severe DKA was associated with lower item-color recall (β=-0.08, p=0.04). Among previously diagnosed patients, repeated DKA exposure and higher hemoglobin A1c were independently associated with lower IQ (β=-.10 and β=-0.09, respectively, ps <.01) and higher hemoglobin A1c was associated with lower item-color recall (β=-0.10, p=0.007), after accounting for hypoglycemia, diabetes duration, and socio-economic status.<b> Conclusion. </b>A single DKA episode is associated with subtle memory declines soon after type 1 diabetes diagnosis. Sizable IQ declines are detectable in children with known diabetes, suggesting that DKA effects may be exacerbated in children with chronic exposure to hyperglycemia.<b> <br> </b>

Abstract Background: Data on the course of puberty and pubertal growth in boys with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) are sparse. Objectives: To study the course of puberty, pubertal growth and final height in boys with T1D as well as possible factors affecting these. Methods: In this retrospective longitudinal study, 68 boys diagnosed with T1D between 1996-2009 who were pre-pubertal at diagnosis and had completed puberty served as the cohort. Collected were data on anthropometric measurements, Tanner stage, and HbA1c levels from diagnosis to final height (F-Ht). F-Ht was compared to parental height and to the data of the national health survey Results – In the study cohort final height-SDS was lower than that at diagnosis. It was similar to parental Ht-SDS as well as to that of the national health survey (p=0.126). F-Ht was inversely related to average HbA1c during puberty (R=-0.27, p=0.045). Boys who presented with diabetic ketoacidosis at diagnosis were shorter than those who did not throughout the entire follow-up. Age at onset of puberty was significantly related to the age of maternal menarche (R=0.44, p=0.01) and to HbA1c levels in the year preceding puberty onset (R=0.36, p=0.01). Total pubertal growth was inversely related to HbA1c levels in the year preceding onset of puberty (average R=-0.3, p=0.03) Conclusions: Boys with T1D diagnosed before puberty achieve final height similar to that of their parents and that of the general population. Diabetic ketoacidosis at the diagnosis is associated with diminished F-Ht. Age of pubertal onset and F-Ht are affected by genetic factors as well as by glycemic control before and during puberty. These results emphasize the importance of tight metabolic control in adolescents, to enable growth within the genetic target.

Abstract Context Youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) do not meet hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) targets. Objective To assess HbA1c outcomes in children with new onset T1D enrolled in the Teamwork, Targets, Technology and Tight Control (4T) Study. Method HbA1c levels were compared between the 4T and Historical cohorts. HbA1c differences between cohorts were estimated using locally estimated scatter plot smoothing (LOESS). The change from nadir HbA1c (month 4) to 12 months post-diagnosis was estimated by cohort using a piecewise mixed effects regression model accounting for age at diagnosis, sex, ethnicity, and insurance type. Setting and Participants We recruited 135 youth with newly diagnosed T1D at Stanford Children’s Health. Intervention Starting July 2018, all youth within the first month of T1D diagnosis were offered continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) initiation and remote CGM data review was added in March 2019. Main Outcome Measure HbA1c. Results HbA1c at 6, 9, and 12 months post-diagnosis was lower in the 4T cohort than in the Historic cohort (-0.54%, -0.52%, and -0.58%, respectively). Within the 4T cohort, HbA1c at 6, 9, and 12 months post-diagnosis was lower in those patients with Remote Monitoring than those without (-0.14%, -0.18%, -0.14%, respectively). Multivariable regression analysis showed that the 4T cohort experienced a significantly lower increase in HbA1c between months 4 and 12 (p &lt; 0.001). Conclusions A technology-enabled team-based approach to intensified new onset education involving target setting, CGM initiation, and remote data review significantly decreased HbA1c in youth with T1D 12 months post-diagnosis.

Wild bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) may develop diabetes in laboratory captivity. The aim of this study was to test whether bank voles develop type 1 diabetes in association with Ljungan virus. Two groups of bank voles were analyzed for diabetes, pancreas histology, autoantibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65), IA-2, and insulin by standardized radioligand-binding assays as well as antibodies to in vitro transcribed and translated Ljungan virus antigens. Group A represented 101 trapped bank voles, which were screened for diabetes when euthanized within 24 hours of capture. Group B represented 67 bank voles, which were trapped and kept in the laboratory for 1 month before being euthanized. Group A bank voles did not have diabetes. Bank voles in group B (22/67; 33%) developed diabetes due to specific lysis of pancreatic islet beta cells. Compared to nondiabetic group B bank voles, diabetic animals had increased levels of GAD65 (P< .0001), IA-2 (P< .0001), and insulin (P= .03) autoantibodies. Affected islets stained positive for Ljungan virus, a novel picorna virus isolated from bank voles. Ljungan virus inoculation of nondiabetic wild bank voles induced beta-cell lysis. Compared to group A bank voles, Ljungan virus antibodies were increased in both nondiabetic (P< .0001) and diabetic (P= .0015) group B bank voles. Levels of Ljungan virus antibodies were also increased in young age at onset of newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes in children (P< .01). These findings support the hypothesis that the development of type 1 diabetes in captured wild bank voles is associated with Ljungan virus. It is speculated that bank voles may have a possible zoonotic role as a reservoir and vector for virus that may contribute to the incidence of type 1 diabetes in humans.
