Item Effects of Frequency of Sensor-Augmented Pump Use on HbA1c and C-Peptide Levels in the First Year of Type 1 Diabetes(American Diabetes Association, 2016-04) Triolo, Taylor M.; Maahs, David M.; Pyle, Laura; Slover, Robert; Buckingham, Bruce; Cheng, Peiyao; DiMeglio, Linda A.; Bremer, Andrew A.; Weinzimer, Stuart A.; Chase, H. Peter; Pediatrics, School of MedicineItem Metformin Improves Peripheral Insulin Sensitivity in Youth With Type 1 Diabetes(Endocrine Society, 2019-08) Cree-Green, Melanie; Bergman, Bryan C.; Cengiz, Eda; Fox, Larry A.; Hannon, Tamara S.; Miller, Kellee; Nathan, Brandon; Pyle, Laura; Kahn, Darcy; Tansey, Michael; Tichy, Eileen; Tsalikian, Eva; Libman, Ingrid; Nadeau, Kristen J.; Pediatrics, School of MedicineContext: Type 1 diabetes in adolescence is characterized by insulin deficiency and insulin resistance (IR), both thought to increase cardiovascular disease risk. We previously demonstrated that adolescents with type 1 diabetes have adipose, hepatic, and muscle IR, and that metformin lowers daily insulin dose, suggesting improved IR. However, whether metformin improves IR in muscle, hepatic, or adipose tissues in type 1 diabetes was unknown. Objective: Measure peripheral, hepatic, and adipose insulin sensitivity before and after metformin or placebo therapy in youth with obesity with type 1 diabetes. Design: Double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Setting: Multi-center at eight sites of the T1D Exchange Clinic Network. Participants: A subset of 12- to 19-year-olds with type 1 diabetes (inclusion criteria: body mass index ≥85th percentile, HbA1c 7.5% to 9.9%, insulin dosing ≥0.8 U/kg/d) from a larger trial (NCT02045290) were enrolled. Intervention: Participants were randomized to 3 months of metformin (N = 19) or placebo (N = 18) and underwent a three-phase hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp with glucose and glycerol isotope tracers to assess tissue-specific IR before and after treatment. Main outcome measures: Peripheral insulin sensitivity, endogenous glucose release, rate of lipolysis. Results: Between-group differences in change in insulin sensitivity favored metformin regarding whole-body IR [change in glucose infusion rate 1.3 (0.1, 2.4) mg/kg/min, P = 0.03] and peripheral IR [change in metabolic clearance rate 0.923 (-0.002, 1.867) dL/kg/min, P = 0.05]. Metformin did not impact insulin suppression of endogenous glucose release (P = 0.12). Adipose IR was not assessable with traditional methods in this highly IR population. Conclusions: Metformin appears to improve whole-body and peripheral IR in youth who are overweight/obese with type 1 diabetes.Item Proinsulin:C-peptide ratio trajectories over time in relatives at increased risk of progression to type 1 diabetes(Elsevier, 2021-02-19) Triolo, Taylor M.; Pyle, Laura; Seligova, Sona; Yu, Liping; Simmons, Kimber; Gottlieb, Peter; Evans-Molina, Carmella; Steck, Andrea K.; Medicine, School of MedicineObjective: Biomarkers are needed to characterize heterogeneity within populations at risk for type 1 diabetes. The ratio of proinsulin to C-peptide (PI:C ratio), has been proposed as a biomarker of beta cell dysfunction and is associated with progression to type 1 diabetes. However, relationships between PI:C ratios and autoantibody type and number have not been examined. We sought to characterize PI:C ratios in multiple islet autoantibody positive, single autoantibody positive and autoantibody negative relatives of individuals with type 1 diabetes. Methods: We measured PI:C ratios and autoantibodies with both electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assays (ECL-IAA, ECL-GADA and ECL-IA2A) and radiobinding (RBA) assays (mIAA, GADA, IA2A and ZnT8A) in 98 relatives of individuals with type 1 diabetes followed in the TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study at the Barbara Davis Center for a mean of 7.4 ± 4.1 years. Of these subjects, eight progressed to T1D, 31 were multiple autoantibody (Ab) positive, 37 were single Ab positive and 22 were Ab negative (by RBA). Results: In cross-sectional analyses, there were no significant differences in PI:C ratios between type 1 diabetes and/or multiple Ab positive subjects (4.16 ± 4.06) compared to single Ab positive subjects (4.08 ± 4.34) and negative Ab subjects (3.72 ± 3.78) (p = 0.92) overall or after adjusting for age, sex and BMI. Higher PI:C ratios were associated with mIAA titers (p = 0.03) and showed an association with ECL-IA2A titers (p = 0.09), but not with ECL-IAA, GADA, ECL-GADA, IA2A nor ZnT8A titers. In mixed-effects longitudinal models, the trajectories of PI:C ratio over time were significantly different between the Ab negative and multiple Ab positive/type 1 diabetes groups, after adjusting for sex, age, and BMI (p = 0.04). Conclusions: PI:C ratio trajectories increase over time in subjects who have multiple Ab or develop type 1 diabetes and may be a helpful biomarker to further characterize and stratify risk of progression to type 1 diabetes over time.Item The Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic is Associated with a Substantial Rise in Frequency and Severity of Presentation of Youth-Onset Type 2 Diabetes(Elsevier, 2022) Magge, Sheela N.; Wolf, Risa M.; Pyle, Laura; Brown, Elizabeth A.; Benavides, Valeria C.; Bianco, Monica E.; Chao, Lily C.; Cymbaluk, Anna; Balikcioglu, Pinar Gumus; Halpin, Kelsee; Hsia, Daniel S.; Huerta-Saenz, Lina; Kim, Jane J.; Kumar, Seema; Levitt Katz, Lorraine E.; Marks, Brynn E.; Neyman, Anna; O'Sullivan, Katie L.; Pillai, Sabitha Sasidharan; Shah, Amy S.; Shoemaker, Ashley H.; Siddiqui, Juwairriyyah A.W.; Srinivasan, Shylaja; Thomas, Inas H.; Tryggestad, Jeanie B.; Yousif, Maha F.; Kelsey, Megan M.; COVID-19 and Type 2 Diabetes Consortium; Pediatrics, School of MedicineObjectives: To evaluate the frequency and severity of new cases of youth-onset type 2 diabetes in the US during the first year of the pandemic compared with the mean of the previous 2 years. Study design: Multicenter (n = 24 centers), hospital-based, retrospective chart review. Youth aged ≤21 years with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes between March 2018 and February 2021, body mass index ≥85th percentile, and negative pancreatic autoantibodies were included. Demographic and clinical data, including case numbers and frequency of metabolic decompensation, were compared between groups. Results: A total of 3113 youth (mean [SD] 14.4 [2.4] years, 50.5% female, 40.4% Hispanic, 32.7% Black, 14.5% non-Hispanic White) were assessed. New cases of type 2 diabetes increased by 77.2% in the year during the pandemic (n = 1463) compared with the mean of the previous 2 years, 2019 (n = 886) and 2018 (n = 765). The likelihood of presenting with metabolic decompensation and severe diabetic ketoacidosis also increased significantly during the pandemic. Conclusions: The burden of newly diagnosed youth-onset type 2 diabetes increased significantly during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, resulting in enormous strain on pediatric diabetes health care providers, patients, and families. Whether the increase was caused by coronavirus disease 2019 infection, or just associated with environmental changes and stressors during the pandemic is unclear. Further studies are needed to determine whether this rise is limited to the US and whether it will persist over time.
