Efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin in patients with inadequately controlled type 1 diabetes (DEPICT-1): 24 week results from a multicentre, double-…
2017
Background Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin as an add-on to adjustable insulin in patients with inadequately controlled type 1 diabetes. Methods DEPICT-1 was a double-blind, randomised, parallel-controlled, three-arm, phase 3, multicentre study done at 143 sites in 17 countries. Eligible patients were aged 18–75 years and had inadequately controlled type 1 diabetes (HbA1c between ≥7·7% and ≤11·0% [≥61·0 mmol/mol and ≤97·0 mmol/mol]) and had been prescribed insulin for at least 12 months before enrolment. After an 8 week lead-in period to optimise diabetes man…
Dynamics of ketone body metabolism in diabetic rats.
1972
Steady state blood levels of ketone bodies during infusions of acetoacetate at various rates have been compared in healthy and diabetic rats. The characteristics of the metabolic elimination of ketone bodies from the blood are completely changed in diabetic rats. Whereas steady state levels of ketone bodies increase linearly with the infusion rate in healthy rats, this increase is exponential in diabetic animals. This difference, which is due to an impaired metabolic elimination, becomes evident only above a dosage of 50 μmoles acetoacetate per kg per min. Chronic treatment with insulin for 4–6 days, but not acute insulin injection, restores the capacity of diabetic rats to metabolize keton…
Remission phase in children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in years 2012 to 2013 in Silesia, Poland: An observational study
2018
Background/objective The study aimed to analyze the frequency of partial remission (PR) and its association with chosen clinical and laboratory factors among pediatric patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1D). The long-term effect of PR on chosen parameters was also investigated. Methods In 194 patients (95 girls) aged 8.1 ± 4.3 years, we analyzed data at T1D onset: glycemia, pH, C-peptide, antibodies, weight, and concomitant autoimmune diseases. Anthropometric parameters, daily insulin requirement (DIR), and HbA1c 2 and 4 years after T1D diagnosis were also analyzed. We determined PR based on HbA1c and DIR measurements at least every 3 months. Results PR occurred in 59% of patie…
Academic skills in children with early-onset type 1 diabetes: the effects of diabetes-related risk factors
2012
Aim The study aimed to assess the effects of diabetes-related risk factors, especially severe hypoglycaemia, on the academic skills of children with early-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Method The study comprised 63 children with T1DM (31 females, 32 males; mean age 9y 11mo, SD 4mo) and 92 comparison children without diabetes (40 females, 52 males; mean age 9y 9mo, SD 3mo). Children were included if T1DM had been diagnosed before the age of 5 years and if they were aged between 9 and 10 years at the time of study. Children were not included if their native language was not Finnish and if they had a diagnosed neurological disorder that affected their cognitive development. Among th…
Brugada phenocopy in diabetic ketoacidosis, the importance of the diagnostic approach
2020
Abstract Brugada phenocopies (BrP) are clinical entities that present with identical ECG patterns to those of true Brugada Syndrome (BrS) but are elicited by various other clinical circumstances. Our manuscript shows an interesting case of a type-1 Class A BrP in a young patient with diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperkalemia.
Type 1 diabetes in an adolescent with social problems and mental disorders – case report
2021
W cukrzycy typu 1 przerwanie leczenia (insulinoterapii) prowadzi do cukrzycowej kwasicy ketonowej (DKA), będącej stanem bezpośredniego zagrożenia życia. Celem przedstawionego opisu przypadku jest zwrócenie uwagi na sytuację pacjentów z cukrzycą typu 1 i istotnymi problemami socjalnymi/psychicznymi, którzy ze względu na brak odpowiednich uregulowań prawnych „wypadają z systemu”, który mógłby zapewnić im odpowiednią opiekę warunkującą prawidłowe leczenie. Zaburzenia psychiczne i/lub problemy socjalne utrudniają lub uniemożliwiają prowadzenie samokontroli i leczenia. Pacjenci tacy stanowią istotne wyzwanie dla zespołu diabetologicznego i wymagają zindywidualizowanego postępowania ze strony sys…
Comparative characteristics of older people with type 1 diabetes treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion or insulin injection therapy :…
2019
Aim To compare clinical characteristics and outcomes in adults with type 1 diabetes aged ≥ 60 years using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) vs. insulin injection therapy. Further, to determine the percentage of older adults with type 1 diabetes using CSII. Research design and methods Retrospective study using data of the Diabetes Prospective Follow-up Registry (DPV). Including percentage CSII use from 2008 to 2018, and the characteristics of 9547 individuals extracted from the DPV in March 2019 (N = 1404 CSII; N = 8143 insulin injection therapy). Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used for continuous variables and chi-square tests for categorical variables to compare clinical charac…
Diabetes Mellitus and Ramadan: Physiopathological, Clinical and Therapeutic Aspects
2017
Fasting from dawn to sunset during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. A significant number of diabetic patients insist on fasting during Ramadan against the recommendations of their physicians. Fasting in diabetic subjects may be associated with increased risk of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, dehydration and thrombosis. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus are predisposed to major metabolic risks. Another problem is the reluctance of diabetic patients in taking their medications during the fast; therefore the timing and the dosage of anti-diabetic drugs must be adapted for each patient. It is important for diabetic patients who wish to fast during …
Higher cardiometabolic risk in idiopathic versus autoimmune type 1 diabetes: A retrospective analysis
2018
Abstract Background Idiopathic type 1 diabetes mellitus (IDM) is characterized by an onset with insulinopenia and ketoacidosis with negative β-cell autoimmunity markers and lack of association with HLA. The aim of the study is to compare the clinical and metabolic parameters, the macro and microvascular complications, the adipose tissue dysfunction and the insulin secretion and sensitivity indexes in patients with IDM and autoimmune type 1 diabetes mellitus (ADM) at clinical onset. Methods Thirty patients with IDM and 30 with ADM, matched for age and gender, were retrospectively analyzed. BMI, waist circumference, lipids, glycemia, HbA1c, insulin requirement, glutamic oxaloacetic and glutam…
