JBW - January 2003 • 9 year old boy, otherwise healthy • Many classmates had flu • Onset of nausea, vomiting, lethargy • Call to local healthcare: • Asked about hydration status, time of last urination • Next morning, JBW found dead in bed
Outline: Part 1 Changing epidemiology of diabetes in youth Type 1 vs type 2 Epidemic rates of type 1 diabetes Younger age of onset of type 1 diabetes Glycemic control Adolescents and the DCCT Factors related to glycemic control A1c guidelines and A1c outcomes in T1D Cases
Outline: Part 2 Other challenges Hypoglycemia as a barrier to A1c goals Family impact of T1D Changing glycemic outcomes BG monitoring Insulin pump use and bolus dosing Other opportunities Continuous glucose monitoring Cases
Epidemiology - 1 15,000 youth/yr in USA & 70,000 youth/yr worldwide are diagnosed with T1D 3,700 youth/yr in USA are diagnosed with T2D; ??? numbers/yr worldwide with T2D T1D occurs equally among males and females; T2D occurs 1.6x more often in females than males T1D is more common in whites than non-whites; T2D occurs more often in racial/ethnic minorities SEARCH Writing Group, JAMA 2007; 297:2716 WHO 2012 ADA.

Epidemiology - 2 ~75% of T1D is diagnosed in people <18 years old; majority of people with T1D are adults Majority of T2D is diagnosed in adults 215,000 total youth in USA and >500,000 youth worldwide <20 years old with diabetes in 2010 >371 million persons worldwide have diabetes; numbers will be >550 million by 2030 SEARCH Writing Group, JAMA 2007; 297:2716 WHO 2012 ADA.

Diabetes in Youth & Adults: Epidemiological Trends Epidemic of Childhood Obesity 1 out 3 children is overweight or obese Increasing occurrence of type 2 diabetes in youth 1 out of 3 children born in 2000 will develop diabetes Type 1 Diabetes in Youth Increasing incidence / prevalence during 20th and 21st C Shift towards younger age of onset Diabetes is increasing worldwide, with epidemic increases of type 2 diabetes in adults; rates of new onset type 1 diabetes in adults unclear
Incidence of Diabetes in Youth in the United States 2435 youth with newly diagnosed diabetes in 2002–3 at 10 study locations: 78% T1D and 22% T2D Writing Group for the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study Group. JAMA. 2007;297:2716-2724.
Increasing Incidence of T1D in 0-17 year old Youth in Colorado IR of T1D increased 1.6-fold in Colorado 1978 to 2004: 14.8 to 23.9/100,000/year Vehik K et al. Diabetes Care. 2007;30:502-509.
Numbers of youth with diabetes are expected to rise substantially by 2050 Estimates based up stable annual IR of T1D and T2D, there will be ~25% more youth with T1D and ~50% more youth with T2D by 2050 Estimates based upon the current annual IR increases of 2.3% in Colorado, USA (Vs 3.9% in Europe), there will be 300% more youth with T1D and 400% more youth with T2D by 2050 AND, IN TURN, THERE WILL BE MORE CASES OF DKA
Nov 2, 2012 Annual death rates in USA from diabetes per 1,000,000 youths Death rates mainly from acute complications: hypoglycemia and DKA. Overall decline in death rates by 61% from 1968-2009. After initial decline, death rate increased from 1984-2009 in 10-19 y/o.
Discussion Point:Factors related to onset of T1D • In your practice, how do you explain new onset type 1 diabetes to families? What factors related to type 1 diabetes onset do you discuss with families? • Have a 3 minute discussion about this at each of your tables.
DCCT and Adolescents
DCCT – Adult & Adolescent Cohorts Adults Adolescents DCCT: N Engl J Med. 1993 J Peds, 1994
DCCT: Adolescents Vs Adults • significantly higher A1c’s: intensive- 8.1 vs 7.1% conventional- 9.8 vs 9.0% • significantly more hypoglycemia: intensive- 86 vs 57/100-pt-yrs conventional- 28 vs 17/100-pt-yrs • had significantly more DKA than adults: intensive- 2.8 vs 1.8/100-pt-yrs conventional- 4.7 vs 1.3/100-pt-yrs
Intensive insulin therapy: • Improved A1c compared with conventional therapy • Reduced risk of diabetic eye disease by 53-70% (P<.05) • Reduced risk of diabetic kidney disease by 55% (P<.05) • Intensive insulin therapy required: • Multi-disciplinary team management • Education and support for insulin dosing, diet, exercise • Frequent blood glucose monitoring • Regular follow-up care
Risk of Hyperglycemia • Due to intensity of exposure Intensity = degreeof hyperglycemia X duration of hyperglycemia
Risk of Retinopathy Progression According to A1c A1c of 10% x3 years Vs A1c of 8% x8 years JAMA 2002:287
Glycemic Goals and Glycemic Outcomes in Youth with T1D
Discussion Point:Treatment Targets • In your practice, what clinical guidelines do you consider when establishing treatment targets? What factors impact glycemic control in youth? • Have a 3 minute discussion about this at each of your tables.
ADA Position Statement Care of Youth with T1DM 2005, updated Jan 2013 A lower goal is reasonable if it can be achieved without excessive hypoglycemia ISPAD Guidelines 90-145 80-180 <7.5% Adults <7% “…near normalization of blood glucose levels is seldom attainable in children and adolescents after the honeymoon…”

Factors Related to Glycemic Control • Attained age • Gender / Puberty • Age of onset of diabetes • Adherence • Family involvement • Conflict • New technologies / intensive therapy

Case #1: Overview • A 14 year old boy with high A1c treated with a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (insulin pump) • He has had diabetes for 5 years and been on the pump for 3 years • A1c was relatively stable at 7.5% until the past 1 ½ years, when it started rising to 9%
Question #1 • What would you do? A: Prescribe more insulin B: Take him off the pump C: Talk to him about complications

Case #1: Issues to Consider • Division of diabetes-related responsibility • What is going on in other areas of patient’s life? • Family conflict (general and diabetes-specific) • How does he feel about his A1c? • Is this a safety issue? Does he need to be taken off pump?
