High normal HbA(1c) levels were associated with impaired insulin secretion without escalating insulin resistance in Japanese individuals: the Toranomon Hospital Health Management Center Study 8 (TOPICS 8)

Diabet. Med. 29, 1285-1290 (2012) ABSTRACT: Aims We aimed to characterize the association of insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion and β-cell dysfunction in relation to HbA(1c) levels in a non-diabetic range in Japanese individuals without clinically diagnosed diabetes. Methods This cross-sectional study included 1444 individuals without a history of outpatient treatment of diabetes or use of insulin or oral hypoglycaemic agents. The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and beta-cell function, insulinogenic index, Matsuda index and disposition index were calculated using data from 75-g oral glucose tolerance tests and compared across quintile (Q) categories of HbA(1c) levels. Results Fasting plasma glucose and 30-min and 60-min plasma glucose (PG) levels were significantly higher when HbA(1c) exceeded 36?mmol/mol (5.4%). A HbA(1c) concentration of 36-37?mmol/mol (5.4-5.5%) (Q3) was significantly associated with a 15% lower homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function value and 31% lower insulinogenic index value compared with HbA(1c) ≤?32?mmol/mol (≤?5.1%) (Q1) (P?<0.01). Further, a HbA(1c) concentration of 38-40?mmol/mol (5.6-5.8%) (Q4) was associated with 17% (P?<0.01) and 24% (P?<0.05) reductions in those indexes, respectively. However, the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance was not significantly elevated and the Matsuda index was not significantly lower unless HbA(1c) exceeded 41?mmol/mol (5.9%). Individuals with HbA(1c) ≥?41?mmol/mol (≥?5.9%) (Q5) had a 69% lower disposition index than those with a HbA(1c) concentration of ≤?32?mmol/mol (≤?5.1%) (Q1). Conclusions Elevated HbA(1c) levels ≥?41?mmol/mol (≥?5.9%) were associated with substantial reductions in insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity and β-cell dysfunction in Japanese individuals not treated for diabetes. High normal HbA(1c) levels of 36-40?mmol/mol (5.4-5.8%) were also associated with impaired insulin secretion without marked insulin resistance in Japanese individuals.     

Type 1 diabetes in pre-school children - long-term metabolic control, associated autoimmunity and complications

Diabet. Med. 29, 1291-1296 (2012) ABSTRACT: Aims To identify clinical characteristics and co-morbidity rates of children diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes mellitus at younger than 6?years of age. Methods Data were obtained from a retrospective chart review of 103 patients diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at younger than 6?years (study group) and 220 patients at older than 6?years (comparison group). Measures of glycaemic control and occurrence of co-morbidities (coeliac disease, autoimmune thyroid disease, hypertension, nephropathy and retinopathy) were compared. Results The mean follow-up period was more than 8?years. For the study group, mean HbA(1c) levels ranged from 64?mmol/mol to 66?mmol/mol (8.0-8.2%) until age 10?years, and then rose to 73?mmol/mol (8.8%). The HbA(1c) levels were higher in the study than in the comparison group for comparable ages (P?=?0.003). After adjustment for duration of diabetes this difference was not significant. The overall rate of severe hypoglycaemic events was greater in the study group than in the comparison group (P?=?0.03). Kaplan-Meier diagnosis rates of celiac disease, 10?years after Type 1 diabetes diagnosis, were 14.4% and 4.2% in the study and comparison groups, respectively (P log-rank?=?0.03). There were no differences in rates of autoimmune thyroid disease, hypertension, nephropathy or retinopathy. Conclusions Children diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes before the age of 6?years were in greater risk of developing celiac disease, compared with children diagnosed after the age of 6?years. For children diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes aged under 6?years, good metabolic control was achievable until age 10?years, after which it deteriorated. Higher HbA(1c) levels observed in children diagnosed before the age of 6?years were associated with longer duration of disease.     

Diabetes distress, but not depressive symptoms, is associated with glycaemic control among Japanese patients with Type 2 diabetes: Diabetes Distress and Care Registry at Tenri (DDCRT 1)

Aims To investigate the association between glycaemic control, diabetes distress and depressive symptoms among Japanese patients with Type 2 diabetes. Methods Cross-sectional data from 3305 patients with Type 2 diabetes were obtained from a baseline assessment of a diabetes registry at a general hospital in Japan. The Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale and Problem Areas in Diabetes scale were used to measure depressive symptoms and diabetes-related distress, respectively. Modified Poisson regression analysis was used to estimate the relative risks for poor glycaemic control across the quartiles of Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale and Problem Areas in Diabetes scale scores. Results The average age of the participants was 64.9?years and the average HbA(1c) level was 58.1?mmol/mol (7.5%). Clinically significant levels of depressive symptoms (Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale scores ≥?16) were reported by 27.8% of participants. These scores significantly correlated with Problem Areas in Diabetes scale scores (r?=?0.4354, P?相似文献   

Impact of community pharmacy diabetes monitoring and education programme on diabetes management: a randomized controlled study

Diabet. Med. 29, e326-e333 (2012) ABSTRACT: Aims To evaluate the impact of a pharmacist-led patient education and diabetes monitoring programme on HbA(1c) and other cardiovascular risk factors in the community setting. Methods Patients with Type?2 diabetes (n?=?46) attending two community pharmacies in Hertfordshire, UK were randomized to one of two groups. Patients in the intervention group (n?=?23) received a programme of education about diabetes, its treatment and associated cardiovascular risk factors. These patients were seen for monitoring/counselling by a community pharmacist on six occasions over a 12-month period. Measures included HbA(1c) , BMI, blood pressure, blood glucose and lipid profile. Patients in the control group (n?=?23) underwent these measurements at baseline and at 12?months only, without specific counselling or education over and above usual care. Results HbA(1c) fell from 66?mmol/mol (8.2%) to 49?mmol/mol (6.6%) (P?相似文献   

A randomized non-inferiority study comparing the addition of exenatide twice daily to sitagliptin or switching from sitagliptin to exenatide twice daily in patients with Type 2 diabetes experiencing inadequate glycaemic control on metformin and sitagliptin

Aims To test the hypothesis that glycaemic control achieved when switching sitagliptin to exenatide twice daily plus metformin is non-inferior to adding exenatide twice daily to sitagliptin and metformin. Methods Patients with Type?2 diabetes inadequately controlled with sitagliptin plus metformin were randomly assigned to 20?weeks of treatment with twice-daily exenatide plus placebo and metformin (SWITCH, n?=?127) or twice-daily exenatide plus sitagliptin and metformin (ADD, n?=?128). Results Non-inferiority (0.4% margin) of SWITCH to ADD treatment, measured by change in HbA(1c) from baseline to week?20, was not shown {between-treatment difference in least-squares mean [95%?CI 3?mmol/mol (0.30%)] [0.8-5.8 (0.07-0.53)]}. A greater reduction (P?=?0.012) in HbA(1c) [least-squares mean (se)] was experienced by patients in the ADD group {-7?mmol/mol [-0.68%] [0.9 (0.08)]}, compared with those in the SWITCH group {-4?mmol/mol [-0.38%] [1.0 (0.09)]} and a greater proportion (P?=?0.027) of patients in the ADD group (41.7%) reached 相似文献   

Accuracy of glycated haemoglobin in screening for pre-diabetes in Asian Indians-a community survey: the Chandigarh Urban Diabetes Study (CUDS)

Aim To compare American Diabetes Association and International Expert Committee recommended cut-off values of HbA(1c) for detecting the presence of pre-diabetes against plasma glucose values obtained from oral glucose tolerance tests in Asian Indians. Methods A cross-sectional randomly sampled population survey involving 2368 adults, aged ≥?20?years. HbA(1c) was measured on a Bio-Rad 10 system in 1972 subjects. Results Of the 1972 subjects studied, 329 were detected to have pre-diabetes based on isolated impaired fasting glucose in 125 subjects (6.3%), isolated impaired glucose tolerance in 141 subjects (7.1%) and the presence of both in 63 subjects (3.2%). The HbA(1c) cut-off of 34?mmol/mol (5.7%), as recommended by the American Diabetes Association for detecting the presence of pre-diabetes, showed sensitivity of 62%, specificity 77%, with a positive predictive value of 34.7%, a negative predictive value of 89.5% and accuracy of 67.8%; whereas the HbA(1c) cut-off recommended by the International Expert Committee of 42?mmol/mol (6%) had a sensitivity of 36%, specificity of 90%, positive predictive value of 42.7%, negative predictive of 85.4% and an accuracy of 77%. However, both these HbA(1c) cut-offs underdiagnosed the presence of pre-diabetes in 38 and 64% of these subjects, respectively. Conclusions The American Diabetes Association and the International Expert Committee recommended HbA(1c) cut-off values and oral glucose tolerance tests identify different pre-diabetes cohorts. Long-term prospective studies are required to define the usefulness of one over the other.     

A study comparing insulin lispro mix 25 with glargine plus lispro therapy in patients with Type 2 diabetes who have inadequate glycaemic control on oral anti-hyperglycaemic medication: results of the PARADIGM study

Diabet. Med. 29, e263-e272 (2012) ABSTRACT: Aims To test the hypothesis that initiation and intensification with 25% insulin lispro, 75% insulin lispro protamine suspension (LM25), is non-inferior to initiation and intensification with glargine?+?insulin lispro therapy on change from baseline in HbA(1c) . Methods In this randomized, non-inferiority (margin of 0.4%), parallel, prospective, multi-country, 48-week, open-label study, patients (n?=?426) with Type?2 diabetes inadequately controlled with oral anti-hyperglycaemic medications were assigned to either initiating therapy with one daily LM25 injection, progressing up to three daily injections (full analysis set n?=?211; per protocol set n?=?177) or initiating therapy with one daily glargine injection and progressing up to three daily insulin lispro injections (full analysis set n?=?212; per protocol set n?=?184).

Adding pharmacists to primary care teams reduces predicted long-term risk of cardiovascular events in Type 2 diabetic patients without established cardiovascular disease: results from a randomized trial

Aim To determine the impact of adding pharmacists to primary care teams on predicted 10-year risk of cardiovascular events in patients with Type?2 diabetes without established cardiovascular disease. Methods This was a pre-specified secondary analysis of randomized trial data. The main study found that, compared with usual care, addition of a pharmacist resulted in improvements in blood pressure, dyslipidaemia, and hyperglycaemia for primary care patients with Type?2 diabetes. In this sub-study, predicted 10-year risk of cardiovascular events at baseline and 1?year were calculated for patients free of cardiovascular disease at enrolment. The primary outcome was change in UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) risk score; change in Framingham risk score was a secondary outcome. Results Baseline characteristics were similar between the 102 intervention patients and 93 control subjects: 59% women, median (interquartile range) age 57 (50-64) years, diabetes duration 3 (1-6.5) years, systolic blood pressure 128 (120-140) mmHg, total cholesterol 4.34 (3.75-5.04) mmol/l and HbA(1c) 54?mmol/mol (48-64?mmol/mol) [7.1% (6.5-8.0%)]. Median baseline UKPDS risk score was 10.2% (6.0-16.7%) for intervention patients and 9.5% (5.8-15.1%) for control subjects (P?=?0.80). One-year post-randomization, the median absolute reduction in UKPDS risk score was 1.0% greater for intervention patients compared with control subjects (P?=?0.032). Similar changes were seen with the Framingham risk score (median reduction 1.2% greater for intervention patients compared with control subjects, P?=?0.048).

High HbA1c levels correlate with reduced plaque regression during statin treatment in patients with stable coronary artery disease: Results of the coronary atherosclerosis study measuring effects of rosuvastatin using intravascular ultrasound in Japanese subjects (COSMOS)

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The incidence of cardiac events is higher in patients with diabetes than in people without diabetes. The Coronary Atherosclerosis Study Measuring Effects of Rosuvastatin Using Intravascular Ultrasound in Japanese Subjects (COSMOS) demonstrated significant plaque regression in Japanese patients with chronic coronary disease after 76?weeks of rosuvastatin (2.5?mg once daily, up-titrated to a maximum of 20?mg/day to achieve LDL cholesterol <80?mg/dl). METHODS: In this subanalysis of COSMOS, we examined the association between HbA1c and plaque regression in 40 patients with HbA1c ≥6.5% (high group) and 86 patients with HbA1c <6.5% (low group). RESULTS: In multivariate analyses, HbA1c and plaque volume at baseline were major determinants of plaque regression. LDL cholesterol decreased by 37% and 39% in the high and low groups, respectively, while HDL cholesterol increased by 16% and 22%, respectively. The reduction in plaque volume was significantly (p?=?0.04) greater in the low group (from 71.0?±?39.9 to 64.7?±?34.7?mm3) than in the high group (from 74.3?±?34.2 to 71.4?±?32.3?mm3). Vessel volume increased in the high group but not in the low group (change from baseline: +4.2% vs -0.8%, p?=?0.02). Change in plaque volume was significantly correlated with baseline HbA1c. CONCLUSIONS: Despite similar improvements in lipid levels, plaque regression was less pronounced in patients with high HbA1c levels compared with those with low levels. Tight glucose control during statin therapy may enhance plaque regression in patients with stable coronary disease. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov, Identifier NCT00329160.     

Two Novel Susceptibility SNPs for Ischemic Stroke Using Exome Sequencing in Chinese Han Population

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of ischemic stroke (IS) have been performed on several cohorts of Caucasian or African population and Japanese, resulting in somewhat inconsistent conclusion. We aimed to identify susceptibility loci for IS by exome sequencing in a Chinese Han population. Exome sequencing was used to screen susceptibility loci among 100 cases and 100 matched controls. Significant SNPs from the first stage were verified in up to 3,554 participants from three hospital-based case–control studies. In the initial exome sequencing analysis, rs10489177 in c1orf156 gene located on chromosome 1q24 (p?<?1?×?10^?8) and rs17118 in XYLB gene located on chromosome 3p21 (p?<?1?×?10^?6) were found to be significantly associated with IS. In the following validation stage, significantly increased odds ratios were observed in individuals with rs10489177 GG (OR?=?2.02, 95 % CI?=?1.35–3.03) or rs17118 AA genotype (OR?=?1.50, 95 % CI?=?1.17–1.91). The rs10489177 GG genotype was associated with significantly increased risk for IS in individuals without hypertension (OR?=?2.78, 95 % CI?=?1.59–4.86) and in individuals without diabetes (OR?=?1.93, 95 % CI?=?1.27–2.94). In contrast, the rs17118 AA genotype may significantly increase the risk for IS, particularly for individuals with hypertension (OR?=?1.73, 95 % CI?=?1.08–2.78) and for individuals without diabetes (OR?=?1.52, 95 % CI?=?1.17–1.98) or non-smoker (OR?=?1.59, 95 % CI?=?1.16–2.19). Collectively, our study identified two novel loci (rs17118 and rs10489177) which were associated with an increased risk for IS in Chinese Han populations. Further studies are needed to confirm these associations in other populations and elucidate the biological mechanisms underlying the observed associations.     

Monotherapy with the once-weekly GLP-1 analogue dulaglutide for 12 weeks in patients with Type 2 diabetes: dose-dependent effects on glycaemic control in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study

Diabet. Med. 29, 1260-1267 (2012) ABSTRACT: Aims Evaluate dose-dependent effects of once-weekly dulaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, on glycaemic control in patients with Type?2 diabetes treated with lifestyle measures with or without previous metformin. Methods This 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-response trial randomized 167 patients who were anti-hyperglycaemic medication-na?ve or had discontinued metformin monotherapy [mean baseline HbA(1c) 59?±?8 to 61?±?8?mmol/mol (7.6?±?0.7 to 7.8?±?0.8%)] to once-weekly injections of placebo or dulaglutide (0.1, 0.5, 1.0 or 1.5?mg).

Hba1C Control And Cost-Effectiveness in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Initiated On Canagliflozin or A Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonist in A Real-World Setting

Objective: To compare glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) control and medication costs between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with canagliflozin 300 mg (CANA) or a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) in a real-world setting.Methods: Adults with T2DM newly initiated on CANA or a GLP-1 RA (index date) were identified from IQVIA™ Real-World Data Electronic Medical Records U.S. database (March 29, 2012–April 30, 2016). Inverse probability of treatment weighting accounted for differences in baseline characteristics. HbA1c levels at 3-month intervals were compared using generalized estimating equations. Medication costs used wholesale acquisition costs.Results: For both cohorts (CANA: n = 11,435; GLP-1 RA: n = 11,582), HbA1c levels decreased at 3 months postindex and remained lower through 30 months. Absolute changes in mean HbA1c from index to 3 months postindex for CANA and GLP-1 RA were -1.16% and -1.21% (patients with baseline HbA1c ≥7% &lsqb;53 mmol/mol]); -1.54% and -1.51% (patients with baseline HbA1c ≥8% &lsqb;64 mmol/mol]); and -2.13% and -1.99% (patients with baseline HbA1c ≥9% &lsqb;75 mmol/mol]), respectively. Postindex, CANA patients with baseline HbA1c ≥7% had similar HbA1c levels at each interval versus GLP-1 RA patients, except 9 months (mean HbA1c, 7.75% &lsqb;61 mmol/mol] vs. 7.86% &lsqb;62 mmol/mol]; P = .0305). CANA patients with baseline HbA1c ≥8% and ≥9% had consistently lower HbA1c numerically versus GLP-1 RA patients and statistically lower HbA1c at 9 (baseline HbA1c ≥8% or ≥9%), 27, and 30 months (baseline HbA1c ≥9%). Continuous 12-month medication cost $3,326 less for CANA versus GLP-1 RA.Conclusion: This retrospective study demonstrated a similar evolution of HbA1c levels among CANA and GLP-1 RA patients in a real-world setting. Lower medication costs suggest CANA is economically dominant over GLP-1 RA (similar effectiveness, lower cost).Abbreviations:AHA = antihyperglycemic agentBMI = body mass indexCANA = canagliflozin 300 mgDCSI = diabetes complications severity indexeGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rateEMR = electronic medical recordGLP-1 RA = glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonistHbA1c = glycated hemoglobinICD-9-CM = International Classification of Diseases–Ninth Revision–Clinical ModificationICD-10-CM = International Classification of Diseases–Tenth Revision–Clinical ModificationIPTW = inverse probability of treatment weightingITT = intent-to-treatMPR = medication possession ratioPDC = proportion of days coveredPS = propensity scorePSM = propensity score matchingQuan-CCI = Quan-Charlson comorbidity indexSGLT2 = sodium-glucose cotransporter 2T2DM = type 2 diabetes mellitusWAC = wholesale acquisition cost     

Glycated Hemoglobin and Incident Type 2 Diabetes in Singaporean Chinese Adults: The Singapore Chinese Health Study

Background

The American Diabetes Association recently included glycated hemoglobin in the diagnostic criteria for diabetes, but research on the utility of this biomarker in Southeast Asians is scant. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between percent HbA1c and incident diabetes in an Asian population of adult men and women without reported diabetes.

Methods

Data analysis of 5,770 men and women enrolled in the Singapore Chinese Health Study who provided a blood sample at the follow-up I visit (1999–2004) and had no cancer and no reported history of diabetes or cardiovascular disease events. Diabetes was defined as self-report of physician diagnosis, identified at the follow-up II visit (2006–2010).

Results

Hazard ratios (and 95% confidence intervals) for incident diabetes by 5 categories of HbA1c were estimated with Cox regression models and continuous HbA1c with cubic spline analysis. Compared to individuals with an HbA1c ≤ 5.7% (≤39 mmol/mol), individuals with HbA1c 5.8–5.9% (40–41 mmol/mol), 6.0–6.1% (42–43 mmol/mol), 6.2–6.4% (44–47 mmol/mol), and ≥ 6.5% (≥48 mmol/mol) had significantly increased risk for incident diabetes during follow-up. In cubic spline analysis, levels below 5.7% HbA1c were not significantly associated with incident diabetes.

Conclusions

Our study found a strong and graded association with HbA1c 5.8% and above with incident diabetes in Chinese men and women.     

Impaired Glucose Metabolism among Those with and without Diagnosed Diabetes and Mortality: A Cohort Study Using Health Survey for England Data

Background

The extent that controlled diabetes impacts upon mortality, compared with uncontrolled diabetes, and how pre-diabetes alters mortality risk remain issues requiring clarification.

Methods

We carried out a cohort study of 22,106 Health Survey for England participants with a HbA1_C measurement linked with UK mortality records. We estimated hazard ratios (HRs) of all-cause, cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using Cox regression.

Results

Average follow-up time was seven years and there were 1,509 deaths within the sample. Compared with the non-diabetic and normoglycaemic group (HbA1_C <5.7% [<39mmol/mol] and did not indicate diabetes), undiagnosed diabetes (HbA1_C ≥6.5% [≥48mmol/mol] and did not indicate diabetes) inferred an increased risk of mortality for all-causes (HR 1.40, 1.09–1.80) and CVD (1.99, 1.35–2.94), as did uncontrolled diabetes (diagnosed diabetes and HbA1_C ≥6.5% [≥48mmol/mol]) and diabetes with moderately raised HbA1_C (diagnosed diabetes and HbA1_C 5.7-<6.5% [39-<48mmol/mol]). Those with controlled diabetes (diagnosed diabetes and HbA<5.7% [<39mmol/mol]) had an increased HR in relation to mortality from CVD only. Pre-diabetes (those who did not indicate diagnosed diabetes and HbA1_C 5.7-<6.5% [39-<48mmol/mol]) was not associated with increased mortality, and raised HbA1_C did not appear to have a statistically significant impact upon cancer mortality. Adjustment for BMI and socioeconomic status had a limited impact upon our results. We also found women had a higher all-cause and CVD mortality risk compared with men.

Conclusions

We found higher rates of all-cause and CVD mortality among those with raised HbA1_C, but not for those with pre-diabetes, compared with those without diabetes. This excess differed by sex and diabetes status. The large number of deaths from cancer and CVD globally suggests that controlling blood glucose levels and policies to prevent hyperglycaemia should be considered public health priorities.     

Plasma C-peptide concentration in women with Type 1 diabetes during early and late pregnancy

Diabet. Med. 29, e361-e364 (2012) ABSTRACT: Aims There are previous suggestions of increased C-peptide concentration in women with Type?1 diabetes during pregnancy. Our aim was to re-evaluate the hypothesis of a pregnancy-induced increase by measuring plasma C-peptide concentration in women with stable blood glucose control under standardized fasting and meal-stimulated conditions. Methods Ten women with Type 1 diabetes; median age 31.1?years, median diabetes duration 19?years, median HbA(1c) 52?mmol/mol (6.9%) were admitted to a clinical research facility for two 24-h visits in early (12-16?weeks) and late (28-32?weeks) pregnancy. Women They ate standardized study meals - 80-g carbohydrate dinner, 60-g carbohydrate breakfast, and fasted between meals and overnight. Closed-loop insulin delivery maintained stable and comparable glycaemic conditions. Paired samples for plasma glucose and C-peptide were obtained. Results Plasma glucose levels were comparable in early (median 6.5?mmol/l; interquartile range 5.6-8.6) and late pregnancy (median 7.0?mmol/l; interquartile range 6.1-7.8; P?=?0.72). There was no change in fasting or meal-stimulated plasma C-peptide concentration from early to late pregnancy; mean difference 4.0?pmol/l (95%?CI -6.0 to 7.0; P?=?0.9). Four women had detectable C-peptide; peak (range) early vs. late pregnancy 48.5 (10-115) vs. 40.0?pmol/l (80-105); P?=?0.5, which was weakly associated with plasma glucose; R(2) =?0.15, P?相似文献   

Real-World Implications of Hybrid Close Loop (Hcl) Insulin Delivery System

Objective: Clinical trial data demonstrates improved glycemic control with hybrid close loop (HCL) insulin delivery systems, yet limited real-world data exists. Data from the inaugural cohort of patients initiating a HCL system (Medtronic MiniMed™ 670G, Medtronic Canada, Brampton, ON) at a university medical center was used to examine real-world utilization and glycemic control following a standardized implementation process.Methods: Data from 34 adult patients with type 1 diabetes were obtained from pump downloads at 4 time points: (1) previous insulin pump, (2) HCL in manual-mode, (3) 2 weeks after HCL auto-mode transition, and (4) 6 to 12 weeks after initiation of HCL. In-person training by certified diabetes educators was performed across 3 sessions with phone and electronic messaging following auto-mode start.Results: Mean self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) per day increased from 5.15 baseline to 6.49 at 6 to 12 weeks (P<.05) with 3.26 sensor calibrations per day. Time-in-auto-mode was 79.3% at 2 weeks and 72.3% at final follow-up, with 82% of patients spending >50% of time in auto-mode. There were 8.2 auto-mode exits over the final 14-day download. Time-in-target was 67.3% in manual-mode, 73.4% at 2 weeks (P = .09), and 71.7% by 6 to 12 weeks (P = .06). Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) decreased by 0.51% (P = .02), while total daily dose and % basal did not change. Patients with HbA1c <7.0% (53 mmol/mol) at baseline spent more time-in-target than those with HbA1c ≥7.0% (53 mmol/mol; 78.0% versus 67.5%) despite spending less time-in-auto-mode (66.5% versus 74.8%).Conclusion: These data illustrate real-world implementation of HCL technology using a structured education program within a major medical center. Overall benefit may vary based on baseline characteristics such as HbA1c.Abbreviations: CDE = certified diabetes educator; HbA1c = hemoglobin A1c; HCL = hybrid closed loop; SMBG = self-monitored blood glucose

为了探讨北京汉族人群小泛素样修饰蛋白4(Small ubiquitin-like modifier 4,SUMO4)基因多态性与2型糖尿病(Type 2 diabetes mellitus,T2DM)的关系,文章采用病例对照设计,选取404例T2DM患者(T2DM组)以及年龄、性别匹配的500例健康对照者(Control组)作为研究对象,应用聚合酶链反应-高分辨熔解曲线(PCR-HRM)技术结合测序验证法,检测SUMO4基因3个单核苷酸多态性位点(rs237025、rs237024及rs600739)的基因型与等位基因分布情况,比较T2DM组糖化血红蛋白(Hemoglobin A1c,HbA1c)在各基因型间的分布,并进行单倍型分析。结果显示:①rs237025的G等位基因在T2DM组出现的频率更高(0.334 vs.0.282,P=0.017);GA基因型携带者患T2DM的风险是AA基因型携带者的1.563倍(P=0.001;OR,1.563;95%CI,1.189-2.053);在显性模型(GG+GA vs.AA)分析中,G等位基因携带者(GG+GA)患T2DM的风险是AA基因型携带者的1.525倍(P=0.002;OR,1.525;95%CI,1.169-1.989)。而rs237024和rs600739多态性未发现与T2DM的易感性相关(P>0.05)。②在T2DM组,rs237025的G等位基因携带者、rs237024的TT基因型携带者及rs600739的GG基因携带者具有较高的HbA1c水平,但各基因型携带者之间HbA1c水平并无统计学差异(P>0.05)。③单倍型AAC、AGC及GGT与T2DM的易感性正相关(OR>1);而单倍型AAT、GAC与T2DM的易感性负相关(OR<1)。据此得出结论:rs237025多态性与北京汉族人群T2DM的易感性相关,rs237024和rs600739多态性可能与T2DM的易感性不相关。

A randomised,open-labelstudy of insulin glargine or neutral protamine Hagedorn insulin in Chinese paediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus

Background

We aimed to describe the safety and efficacy of insulin glargine in Chinese paediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin was the reference therapy.

Methods

This open-label, randomised, Phase III study was conducted at 10 sites in China. Children aged ≥6 to <18 years with T1DM were randomised (2:1) to insulin glargine or NPH insulin asbasal insulinfor a 24-week treatment period. For all patients, insulin aspart was given as bolus insulin. The primary endpoint was absolute change in glycated haemoglobin(HbA1c) from baseline to Week 24. Secondary endpoints included the percentage of patients reaching HbA1c <7.5% (<58.5 mmol/mol), and safety. The study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01223131).

Results

In total,196 patients were screened, and 162 were randomised (107 and 55 patients were randomised to insulin glargine and NPH insulin, respectively). The mean?±?SD of absolute change in HbA1c was–0.25?±?1.68% (–2.69?±?18.32 mmol/mol) in the insulin glargine group and –0.54?±?1.67% (–5.55?±?20.32 mmol/mol) in the NPH insulin group. At Week 24, 18.7 and 21.6% of patients in the insulin glargine and NPH insulin groups achieved HbA1c <7.5% (<58.5 mmol/mol). Both treatments were generally well tolerated. A numerically lower rate of symptomatic hypoglycaemia per patient year was observed for insulin glargine versus NPH insulin (24.3?±?45.8 versus32.3?±?43.2); severe hypoglycaemia was rare (<2%).

Conclusions

Initiation of insulin glargine can aid Chinese paediatric patients with T1DM to safely reduce their HbA1c levels.
