OBJECTIVE We evaluated the real-world cost-effectiveness of the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) for people with prediabetes in a large workforce with employer-sponsored health insurance. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We performed difference-in-differences analyses using individual-level health insurance claims and survey data for 5,948 adults with prediabetes who enrolled (n = 575) or did not enroll (n = 5,373) in the NDPP to assess NDPP’s effects on health economic outcomes. We assessed direct medical costs for the year before the NDPP enrollment/index date and for 2 years thereafter; EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) utility scores at baseline, 1 year, and 2 years; and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) over 2 years. We used propensity score weighting to adjust for potential bias due to self-selection for enrollment, multiple imputation to handle missing data, and bootstrapping to produce CIs. We adopted a health care sector perspective and discounted costs and QALYs at 3% annually. Costs were expressed in 2020 U.S. dollars. RESULTS Compared with nonenrollees, each NDPP enrollee had an average reduction of $4,552 (95% CI −13,231, 2,014) in 2-year total direct medical costs. Cost savings were primarily related to hospitalizations, outpatient visits, and emergency room visits. Compared with nonenrollees, each enrollee had no difference in EQ-5D-5L utility scores at 2 years or QALYs gained over 2 years. The uncertainty analyses found that enrollment in the NDPP had an 88% probability of saving money and 84% probability of being cost-effective at a willingness-to-pay threshold of $100,000/QALY-gained over 2 years. CONCLUSIONS In this real-world population with prediabetes, enrollment in the NDPP was likely to provide cost savings.

OBJECTIVE The widely adopted Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) classification system has been underused in assessing the burden and risk of adverse outcomes in type 1 diabetes. This observational study aimed to clarify how each KDIGO category correlates with outcomes, including mortality, in this patient group. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In 40,199 individuals with type 1 diabetes from the Swedish National Diabetes Register, we examined the 1) prevalence of different KDIGO categories at baseline; 2) incidence of adverse kidney and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes, including mortality, within each category; and 3) association of baseline category with excess risk of five outcomes: 40% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), kidney failure, major adverse kidney/CV events, and all-cause mortality. Cox regression analyses were conducted using three different reference categories: 1) the conventional low-risk “combined G1A1 + G2A1”; 2) “G1A1” alone to assess whether G2A1 had excess risk; and 3) “G1bA1” alone to evaluate whether eGFR ≥105 mL/min/1.73 m2 had increased risk. RESULTS Among 39,067 included patients, with a mean follow-up of 9.1 years, 18.5% presented with chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined as eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and/or albuminuria. A progressive increase in the incidence and adjusted hazard ratio for all studied outcomes was found with advancing eGFR and albuminuria categories, including in G2A1 (non-CKD). A eGFR ≥105 mL/min/1.73 m2 without albuminuria was not associated with increased risk. CONCLUSIONS A progressively increasing burden of all studied adverse outcomes was observed with advancing KDIGO categories. Even individuals with preserved eGFR and normoalbuminuria (G2A1) conventionally perceived as non-CKD, had an excess risk for all outcomes.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of aqueous retinol-binding protein 3 (RBP3) with history of diabetic macular edema (DME) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) progression. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS RBP3 concentration was measured by ELISA in aqueous from patients undergoing cataract surgery at Joslin Diabetes Center. DR progression was defined as two-step or more worsening on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study severity scale, and DME history was determined by clinical diagnosis. RESULTS In 153 eyes (31 with type 1 and 122 with type 2 diabetes; n = 149 patients), 37% had no signs of DR, 40% had mild nonproliferative DR (NPDR), and 23% had moderate NPDR. Aqueous RBP3 decreased from a median of 2.1 nmol/L (interquartile range 0.8–3.4) in eyes with no DR to 1.5 nmol/L (0.8–3.8) in eyes with mild-to-moderate NPDR (P = 0.047). The difference between aqueous RBP3 levels in those with type 1 or type 2 diabetes was not significant. Elevated RBP3 (β = −0.701, 95% CI −1.151 to 0.250, P = 0.002) was associated with no DME history. With a mean follow-up of 5.5 ± 3.6 years, elevated RBP3 at baseline was associated with less subsequent DR progression (odds ratio 0.51, 95% CI 0.28–0.93, P = 0.03). In multivariable analyses, RBP3 remained significantly associated with a DR progression and history of DME. A 5% improvement was seen in the area under the curve when RBP3 was added to clinical models for predicting DR progression (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that aqueous RBP3 may be an important protective factor, the first neuroretinal-specific biomarker of DME or DR progression, and a possible therapeutic target.

OBJECTIVE Both air pollution and diabetes are key urban challenges. The association between particulate matter with a diameter of <2.5 μm (PM2.5) exposure and prediabetes/diabetes in adults is well documented, but the health effects of life course exposure remain unclear. This study evaluated the impact of PM2.5 exposure throughout various life stages on the prevalence of prediabetes/diabetes in adulthood. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We included 4,551 individuals with 19,593 medical visits from two open cohorts in Taiwan and Hong Kong between 2000 and 2018. Ambient PM2.5 exposure was assessed using a satellite-based model, delivering a 2-year average exposure at a resolution of 1 km2. Logistic mixed-effects models were used to investigate longitudinal associations between PM2.5 exposure and the prevalence of prediabetes/diabetes. Life course models were used to examine the impact of PM2.5 exposure at different life stages on prediabetes/diabetes in adulthood. RESULTS Over an average follow-up period of 9.93 years, 1,660 individuals with prediabetes/diabetes were observed. For the longitudinal association, every 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 was associated with an increased odds of having prediabetes/diabetes (odds ratio 1.32, 95% CI 1.13, 1.54). The odds of adulthood prediabetes/diabetes increased by 15%, 18%, and 29% for each 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 exposure during school age, adolescence, and adulthood, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest a link between PM2.5 exposure during each life stage and the prevalence of prediabetes/diabetes in adulthood, with the health impacts of exposure during adulthood being slightly greater. This study underscores the need for life course air pollution control strategies to mitigate the substantial disease burden of diabetes.

Diabetes is a prevalent chronic disease in school-age children. To keep students with diabetes safe at school, support their long-term health, prevent complications, and ensure full participation in all school activities, proper monitoring of and response to glucose levels must be attended to throughout the school day and during all school-sponsored activities. Care coordination among the family, school, and diabetes health care professionals is critical. With proper planning, including the education and training of school staff, children and youth with diabetes can fully and safely participate in school. In this statement, we review the legal framework for diabetes care in schools, the core components of school-based diabetes care, the responsibilities of various stakeholders, and special circumstances.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems provide frequent glucose measurements in interstitial fluid and have been used widely in ambulatory settings for diabetes management. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, regulators in the U.S. and Canada temporarily allowed for CGM systems to be used in hospitals with the aim of reducing health care professional COVID-19 exposure and limiting use of personal protective equipment. As such, studies on hospital CGM system use have been possible. With improved sensor accuracy, there is increased interest in CGM usage for diabetes management in hospitals. Laboratorians and health care professionals must determine how to integrate CGM usage into practice. The aim of this consensus guidance document is to provide an update on the application of CGM systems in hospital, with insights and opinions from laboratory medicine, endocrinology, and nursing.

OBJECTIVE Higher truncated-to-native apolipoprotein (apo) C-I proteoform ratios (C-I′/C-I) are associated with favorable cardiometabolic risk profiles, but their relationship with longitudinal changes in insulin resistance (IR) and incident diabetes is unknown. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Plasma apoC-I proteoforms were measured by mass spectrometry immunoassay at baseline in 4,742 nondiabetic participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) and 524 participants with prediabetes in the Actos Now for Prevention of Diabetes (ACT NOW) study. The primary outcome was incident diabetes (fasting glucose [FG] ≥7.0 mmol/L or hypoglycemic medication use in MESA; FG ≥7.0 mmol/L or 2-h glucose ≥11.1 mmol/L in an oral glucose tolerance test [OGTT] in ACT NOW). Secondary outcomes were changes in FG and HOMA-IR in MESA, and OGTT-glucose area under the curve (AUCglucose) and Matsuda insulin sensitivity index (ISI) in ACT NOW. RESULTS In MESA, a higher C-I′/C-I was associated with lower risk of diabetes (n = 564 events; HR 0.87 [95% CI 0.79, 0.95] per SD; P = 0.0036; median follow-up, 9 years), and smaller increases (follow-up adjusted for baseline) in FG (−0.5%; P < 0.0001) and HOMA-IR (−2.9%; P = 0.011) after adjusting for baseline clinical and demographic covariates, including plasma triglycerides and HDL cholesterol. Total apoC-I concentrations were not associated with changes in FG, HOMA-IR, or incident diabetes. In ACT NOW, higher C-I′/C-I was associated with smaller increases in AUCglucose (−1.8%; P = 0.0052), greater increases in ISI (7.2%; P = 0.0095), and lower risk of diabetes (n = 59 events; 0.66 [95% CI 0.48, 0.91]; P = 0.004; median follow-up, 2.5 years) after adjusting for treatment group and diabetes risk factors, including plasma lipids. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that apoC-I truncation may contribute to changes in glucose levels, IR, and risk of diabetes.

Negative binomial models were used to estimate incidence rates and relative risk (RR) of hospitalization for infections (respiratory; genitourinary; skin, soft tissue, and bone; and sepsis), comparing two levels of relaxed (hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] 7% to <8% and 8% to <9%) with intensive (HbA1c 6% to <7%) glycemic control from 1 January 2019 to 1 March 2020. RESULTS Among 103,242 older patients (48.5% with HbA1c 6% to <7%, 35.3% with HbA1c 7% to <8%, and 16.1% with HbA1c 8% to <9%), the rate of hospitalization for infections was 51.3 per 1,000 person-years. Compared with HbA1c 6% to <7%, unadjusted risk of hospitalization for infections was significantly elevated among patients with HbA1c 8% to <9% (RR 1.25; 95% CI 1.13, 1.39) but not among patients with HbA1c 7% to <8% (RR 0.99; 95% CI 0.91, 1.08), and the difference became nonsignificant after adjustment. Across categories of infections, the adjusted RR of hospitalization was significantly higher among patients with HbA1c 8% to <9% only for skin, soft tissue, and bone infection (RR 1.33; 95% CI 1.05, 1.69). CONCLUSIONS Older patients with type 2 diabetes who achieve relaxed glycemic control levels endorsed by clinical guidelines are not at significantly increased risk of hospitalization for most infections, but HbA1c 8% to <9% is associated with an increased risk of hospitalization for skin, soft tissue, and bone infections.

OBJECTIVE The recent availability of cardiovascular risk-reducing type 2 diabetes (T2D) therapies makes it imperative to optimally identify individuals who could derive benefit. Current clinical risk prediction may misclassify individuals as low risk and could be improved. Our aim was to determine the incremental prognostic value of a coronary heart disease (CHD) genome-wide polygenic risk score (PRS) to a clinical risk score in prediction of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with T2D. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We evaluated 10,556 individuals with T2D aged 40–79 without a prior cardiovascular hospitalization. We calculated 10-year clinical cardiovascular risk at the date of recruitment using the Pooled Cohort Equation (PCE Risk) and constructed a CHD PRS. The primary outcome was time to first MACE incidence, and we assessed the additional incremental predictive value of the CHD PRS to the PCE risk. RESULTS At 10 years, there were 1,477 MACE. After adjustment for clinical risk, the CHD PRS was significantly associated with MACE (hazard ratio [HR] 1.69 per SD increase, 95% CI 1.60–1.79). Individuals with PCE Risk <7.5% but in the top quintile of CHD PRS had a significantly increased likelihood of MACE (HR 10.69, 95% CI 5.07–22.55) compared with those in the lowest. The addition of the PRS to the clinical risk score led to significant improvements in risk prediction, particularly in those at low clinical risk. CONCLUSIONS The addition of a CHD PRS to clinical assessment improved MACE prediction in T2D individuals without prior cardiovascular disease, particularly in those at low clinical risk.

OBJECTIVE Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increases the risk of fetal overgrowth as measured by two-dimensional ultrasonography. Whether fetal three-dimensional (3D) soft tissue and organ volumes provide additional insight into fetal overgrowth is unknown. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We prospectively evaluated longitudinal 3D fetal body composition and organ volumes in a diverse US singleton pregnancy cohort (2015–2019). Women were diagnosed with GDM, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), or normal glucose tolerance (NGT). Up to five 3D ultrasound scans measured fetal body composition and organ volumes; trajectories were modeled using linear mixed models. Overall and weekly mean differences in fetal 3D trajectories were tested across glycemic status, adjusted for covariates. RESULTS In this sample (n = 2,427), 5.2% of women had GDM, and 3.0% had IGT. Fetuses of women who developed GDM compared with NGT had larger fractional arm and fractional fat arm volumes from 26 to 35 weeks, smaller fractional lean arm volume from 17 to 22 weeks, and larger abdominal area from 24 to 40 weeks. Fetuses of women with IGT had similar growth patterns, which manifested later in gestation and with larger magnitudes, and had larger fractional lean arm volume. No overall differences were observed among thigh or organ volumes across glycemic status. CONCLUSIONS Body composition differed in fetuses of GDM-complicated pregnancies, including larger arm and abdominal measures across the second and third trimesters. Patterns were similar in IGT-complicated pregnancies except that they occurred later in gestation and with larger magnitudes. Future research should explore how lifestyle and medication may alter fetal fat accumulation trajectories among hyperglycemic pregnancies.
