Neonatal diabetes (ND) is a rare subtype of diabetes occurring in the first 6 months of life. High incidence has been reported among populations with high rates of consanguineous marriage. However, there is paucity of reported data from sub-Saharan African countries. We report the incidence, genotype, and phenotype of ND in a large cohort from Sudan and compare these findings to regional and international data. All infants with onset of diabetes in the first 6 months of life, attending one of the only two tertiary pediatric diabetes centers in Sudan, Gaafar Ibn Auf Pediatric Tertiary Hospital and Sudan Childhood Diabetes Center, during the period of January 2006 to December 2022 were included. Medical records were reviewed for demographic and clinical information. Genetic testing was performed for 48 patients by the Exeter Genomics laboratory in the UK and for one patient by the University of Cambridge, Metabolic Research Laboratories, UK. The estimated incidence was 4.8 per 100,000 live births. Forty-nine ND patients from 45 unrelated families were identified, and a genetic diagnosis was confirmed in 37 patients (75.5%) from 33 unrelated families. Consanguinity was reported in 34 families (75.6%). The commonest genetic cause for permanent neonatal diabetes was EIF2AK3 recessive variants causing Wolcott–Rallison syndrome (18.92%). Pathogenic variants in two recently identified genes, ZNF808 and NARS2, were found in three patients each (8.11%). Activating variants in KCNJ11 and ABCC8 were identified in four (10.81%) and two (5.41%) patients, respectively. Apart from hyperglycemia, the commonest clinical presentations included dehydration, failure to thrive, and diabetic ketoacidosis. ND in Sudan has a different pattern of etiologies compared to Western and Asian populations yet similar to some Arab countries with EIF2AK3 mutations being the commonest cause. Pathogenic variants in recently identified genes reflect the impact of genome sequencing on increasing the rate of genetic diagnosis.

Objectives. Our aim is to evaluate the impact of initiating a specialized children’s hospital and expanding the diabetes service for children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) on their glycemic control and on acute–diabetes-related complications over a 4-year follow-up period. Methods. This was a retrospective cohort study that included children aged 1–16 years with T1D, diagnosed for at least 1 year, and treated with multiple daily injections (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). The study period extended from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2019. Outcomes included the trend of glycemic control measured by HgbA1c and acute–diabetes-related complications, such as hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), reflected by the number of emergency room (ER) visits. Additionally, the number of visits per patient per year was captured over the 4-year study period. Results. Four hundred ninety-nine patients with T1D were included in the study (48.9% female). The mean age was 13.4 years (±2.0) in the CSII group and 12.4 years (±2.2) in the MDI group. Three thousand nine hundred and six visits were reviewed, with 618 in the CSII group and 3,288 in the MDI group. The mean hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) for the whole cohort was 10.56% at the start of the study period in 2016 and dropped by 0.67% to a mean of 9.89% in 2019 (p-value = 0.025). There was a 0.67% decline in the HgbA1c of the MDI group and a 0.47% decrease in the CSII group (p=<0.001). The average number of clinic visits per patient per year increased from 2.6 in 2016 to 2.8 in 2019. ER visits slightly decreased throughout the 4-year period (p-value = 0.46). Conclusion. Increased accessibility of the diabetes care team to children and adolescents with T1D and their families, with more frequent contact with team members, contributes significantly to the improvement of glycemic control.

Objective. There are significant socioeconomic and racial disparities in glycemic control among children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Community health workers (CHWs) have been shown to improve outcomes in marginalized, high-risk populations. The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe the prevalence and the impact of adverse social determinants of health (SDOH) on diabetes care soon after a diagnosis of pediatric T1D, and investigate the potential supportive role of a CHW. Research Design and Methods. Caregivers of youth <17-year old, with new onset T1D, and government insurance at the time of diagnosis were enrolled. Baseline demographic and SDOH questionnaires were administered at the time of enrollment. Semistructured interviews were performed at 3 months after diagnosis to explore the effect of SDOH on diabetes care and the impact of a CHW. Results. Seventeen caregivers were enrolled, 10 were randomly assigned to a CHW. Two-thirds of caregivers identified at least one SDOH need at enrollment; 35% of caregivers identified two SDOH needs. Interviews revealed that the two major themes identified as barriers to diabetes care were caregivers’ employment and financial issues. Social support was identified as a facilitator. The transition from hospital to home after the diagnosis of T1D was improved for families working with a CHW, and the CHW was identified as a strong source of support. Conclusions. There is a high prevalence of adverse SDOH in families from lower socioeconomic status at the time of diagnosis of pediatric T1D. These SDOH have a significant impact on families’ abilities to care for their children. Preliminary data suggest that CHWs can be a facilitator to the diabetes care. This trial is registered with NCT04238949.

Background: A-β+ ketosis-prone diabetes (KPD) in adults is characterized by presentation with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), negative islet autoantibodies, and preserved β-cell function in persons with a phenotype of obesity-associated type 2 diabetes (T2D). The prevalence of KPD has not been evaluated in children. We investigated children with DKA at "T2D" onset and determined the prevalence and characteristics of pediatric A-β+ KPD within this cohort.
Methods: We reviewed the records of 716 children with T2D at a large academic hospital and compared clinical characteristics of those with and without DKA at onset. In the latter group, we identified patients with A-β+ KPD using criteria of the Rare and Atypical Diabetes Network (RADIANT) and defined its prevalence and characteristics.
Results: Mean age at diagnosis was 13.7 ± 2.4 years: 63% female; 59% Hispanic, 29% African American, 9% non-Hispanic White, and 3% other. Fifty-six (7.8%) presented with DKA at diagnosis and lacked islet autoantibodies. Children presenting with DKA were older and had lower C-peptide and higher glucose concentrations than those without DKA. Twenty-five children with DKA (45%) met RADIANT A-β+ KPD criteria. They were predominantly male (64%), African American or Hispanic (96%), with substantial C-peptide (1.3 ± 0.7 ng/mL) at presentation with DKA and excellent long-term glycemic control (HbA1c 6.6% ± 1.9% at follow-up (median 1.3 years postdiagnosis)).
Conclusions: In children with a clinical phenotype of T2D and DKA at diagnosis, approximately half meet criteria for A-β+ KPD. They manifest the key characteristics of obesity, preserved β-cell function, male predominance, and potential to discontinue insulin therapy, similar to adults with A-β+ KPD.

Medication-induced diabetes (MID) is common during induction therapy for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and has potentially significant negative consequences. Reported risk factors for MID are variable with limited data comparing patients treated with standard-risk (SR) vs. high-risk (HR) regimens. This study aims to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for MID during induction in patients with ALL from the Maritimes over a 20-year period. We performed a retrospective single-center study of 262 patients (142 males, 120 females) diagnosed with ALL at IWK Health in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, from 2000 to 2019. Older age, higher body mass index, greater central nervous system status, Trisomy 21, and prednisone steroid type were risk factors associated with MID in our cohort. HR patients developed significantly more complications than SR patients including MID and infection. Screening for MID should be routine during ALL induction treatment, particularly in those with HR disease.
药物诱发糖尿病(MID)是小儿急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)诱导治疗期间的常见病,可能会带来严重的负面影响。据报道,MID的风险因素不尽相同,对采用标准风险(SR)与高风险(HR)方案治疗的患者进行比较的数据也很有限。本研究旨在评估 20 年来滨海省 ALL 患者诱导期间 MID 的发生率和风险因素。我们对2000年至2019年期间在加拿大新斯科舍省哈利法克斯市IWK健康中心诊断为ALL的262名患者(142名男性,120名女性)进行了回顾性单中心研究。在我们的队列中,年龄较大、体重指数较高、中枢神经系统状况较差、21三体综合征和泼尼松类固醇类型是与MID相关的风险因素。HR患者的并发症(包括MID和感染)明显多于SR患者。在 ALL 诱导治疗期间应常规筛查 MID,尤其是 HR 患者。

Objective. We studied the characteristics of children who developed islet autoantibodies by the age of 0.50 years and hypothesized that the appearance of extremely early islet autoimmunity differs between four birth cohorts within 1994–2019 according to the change in the incidence of Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Finland. Methods. Data from Finnish children participating in the Type 1 Diabetes Prediction and Prevention (DIPP) study, or the Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study were analyzed. These studies follow children with increased HLA-conferred risk for T1D with regular measurements of islet autoantibodies. Maternally transferred antibodies were excluded by comparing islet autoantibodies in cord serum, child’s first follow-up serum and the maternal serum. Results. Among 20,979 Finnish children at increased risk to T1D, 53 (0.25%) developed at least one islet autoantibody at the age of ≤0.50 years. During a mean follow-up of 8.1 years, 15.1% progressed to T1D (median age at diagnosis 2.0 years), 43.4% developed confirmed islet autoimmunity but no T1D, and 41.5% had only transient islet autoantibodies. IAA was the most common first-appearing autoantibody. Among progressors, age at diagnosis was 1.0–2.4 years in children with IAA-initiated autoimmunity and 4.5–16.1 years in ZnT8A-initiated autoimmunity. When comparing children developing autoantibodies either at the age of ≤0.50 years or 0.51–0.75 years, confirmed positivity during follow-up was more common in the older group (81.7% vs. 58.5%; p = 0.002 ). In four birth cohorts within 1994–2019 appearance of islet autoantibodies at the age of ≤0.50 years decreased towards the most recent birth cohorts ( p = 0.016 ). Conclusion. Islet autoimmunity by the age of 0.50 years was rare in genetically susceptible children and was typically initiated with IAA. Confirmed positivity was less common in children with autoantibodies at age ≤0.50 than at slightly older age. The secular decrease of islet autoimmunity before age 0.50 years was observed. This trial is registered with NCT03269084 and NCT00279318.

We studied the characteristics of children who developed islet autoantibodies by the age of 0.50 years and hypothesized that the appearance of extremely early islet autoimmunity differs between four birth cohorts within 1994–2019 according to the change in the incidence of Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Finland. Methods. Data from Finnish children participating in the Type 1 Diabetes Prediction and Prevention (DIPP) study, or the Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study were analyzed. These studies follow children with increased HLA-conferred risk for T1D with regular measurements of islet autoantibodies. Maternally transferred antibodies were excluded by comparing islet autoantibodies in cord serum, child’s first follow-up serum and the maternal serum. Results. Among 20,979 Finnish children at increased risk to T1D, 53 (0.25%) developed at least one islet autoantibody at the age of ≤0.50 years. During a mean follow-up of 8.1 years, 15.1% progressed to T1D (median age at diagnosis 2.0 years), 43.4% developed confirmed islet autoimmunity but no T1D, and 41.5% had only transient islet autoantibodies. IAA was the most common first-appearing autoantibody. Among progressors, age at diagnosis was 1.0–2.4 years in children with IAA-initiated autoimmunity and 4.5–16.1 years in ZnT8A-initiated autoimmunity. When comparing children developing autoantibodies either at the age of ≤0.50 years or 0.51–0.75 years, confirmed positivity during follow-up was more common in the older group (81.7% vs. 58.5%; \u0000 \u0000 p\u0000 =\u0000 0.002\u0000 \u0000 ).

Aims. This study aimed to identify the quantity and range of protein, fat, and carbohydrate consumed in meals and snacks in children with Type 1 diabetes (T1D), and to explore associations between the variability in fat and protein intakes with the glycemic outcomes. Methods. This was a cross-sectional dietary study of children 6–18 years attending pediatric diabetes service in Australia. Three-day weighed food records were analyzed for the macronutrient intake. Impacts of dietary intake on glycemic outcomes were explored. Results. Forty-eight children (63% male) aged 11.7 ± 2.9 (mean ± SD) with HbA1c 6.7 ± 1.1% (mmol/mol), BMI Z-score 0.51 ± 0.83, and daily insulin dose 0.99 units/kg completed 3-day weighed food records. Mean intakes at breakfast were 47-g carbohydrate, 15-g protein, and 12-g fat. Lunch: 49-g carbohydrate, 19-g protein, and 19-g fat. Dinner: 57-g carbohydrate, 33-g protein, and 26-g fat. Fifty-five percent (n = 80) of the dinner meals met criteria for a high-fat, high-protein (HFHP) meal. In a subset (n = 16) of participants, exploratory analysis indicated a trend of reduced %TIR (58%) in the 8 hr following HFHP dinner, compared to %TIR (74%) following non-HFHP dinner ( p = 0.05 ). Seventy-eight percent of the participants aged 12–18 years intake at dinner varied by more than 20-g fat or more than 25-g protein. There was no association between the variability in fat and protein intake at dinner with HbA1c. Saturated fat contributed to 14.7% (±3.0) of participants energy intake. Conclusions. Children with T1D frequently consume quantities of fat and protein at dinner that have been shown to cause delayed postprandial hyperglycemia. HFHP dinners were associated with the reduced %TIR over 8 hr, presenting an opportunity for insulin-dose adjustments. Future research that explores the meal dietary variability with postprandial glycemia in this population is needed. Excessive intake of the saturated fat highlights the need for dietary interventions to reduce CVD risk. This trial is registered with ACTRN12622000002785.

Introduction. The landscape of childhood diabetes has evolved and addressing the knowledge gaps in non-Type 1 diabetes mellitus are key to accurate diagnosis. Objectives. A national surveillance study was completed between 2006 and 2008 and then repeated between 2017 and 2019 to describe Canadian incidence trends and clinical characteristics of non-Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Methods. We prospectively tracked new cases of non-Type 1 diabetes mellitus in children <18 years of age between June 1, 2017 and May 31, 2019. For each reported new case, a detailed questionnaire was completed, and cases were classified as Type 2 diabetes mellitus, medication-induced diabetes (MID), monogenic diabetes, or “indeterminate.” Minimum incidence rates and 10-year incidence trends of non-Type 1 diabetes mellitus and its subtypes were calculated. Results. 441 cases of non-Type 1 diabetes mellitus were included (Type 2 diabetes mellitus = 332; MID = 52; monogenic diabetes = 30; indeterminate = 27). Compared to 10 years ago, the incidence of MID and monogenic diabetes remained stable, while Type 2 diabetes mellitus increased by 60% ( ) overall and by 37% ( ) and 50% ( ) in females and males, respectively. Type 2 diabetes mellitus incidence increased by 1.5 times in Indigenous ( ) and doubled in Asian ( ) children. Conclusions. Canadian incidence rates of childhood-onset Type 2 diabetes mellitus have significantly increased. Further research, policy, and prevention efforts are needed to curb rising rates of youth onset Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Aim. The effect of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on the pediatric occurrence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is inconclusive. We aimed to assess associations between seroprevalences of the distinct anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and T1D occurrence in children and adolescents. Methods. This multicenter prospective observational cohort comprised children diagnosed with T1D between October 2020 and July 2022 and unrelated children who performed endocrine tests (control group) in a 1 : 3 ratio. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, including anti-S, anti-N, and neutralizing antibodies, were assessed in each group. Results. The cohort included 51 children with T1D and 182 children in the control group. The median (interquartile range) age was 11.4 (8.2, 13.3) years, with 45% being female. Increases were not observed in the seroprevalence of any of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among the children with new-onset T1D compared to the control group. Among the T1D group, anti-S seroprevalence was higher among those without diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) than in those with DKA upon T1D diagnosis (72% vs. 42%, ). After adjustment to vaccination status, this difference was not statistically significant. Additionally, anti-N antibodies and neutralizing antibodies did not differ between the DKA and the non-DKA groups. None of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were associated with any of the glycemic parameters. Conclusions. This study is the first to assess several distinct anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in new-onset T1D, and our findings do not support an association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the occurrence of T1D in children and adolescents. Since autoimmunity may emerge years after a viral infection, we recommend conducting follow-up epidemiological studies to assess whether there is a change in the incidence of T1D following the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
