- Our aim was to see if IV insulin therapy at diagnosis preserves beta-cell function better than multiple subcutaneous (SC) injections.Fifty-four children 9.9 ± 3.5years (range 2.8-14.9) without ketoacidosis were included in a 2years, randomized multicenter study with insulin SC or 48 to 72hours IV initially. Thirty-three (61%) were boys, 22 (41%) were pubertal. Forty-eight subjects completed 12 months follow-up and 43 completed 24 months. At 1, 6, 12, and 24 months, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), C-peptide and insulin/kg/24 h were measured. At 24 months, a mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) was performed.HbA1c at diagnosis was 10.7%, (93mmol/mol) for IV, 10.7%, (94mmol/mol) for SC. During the first 2 full days of insulin therapy, mean plasma glucose was 8.2 mmol/L for IV, 9.5 for SC (P =.025). Mean insulin dose was 1.5 U/kg/d for IV vs 1.0 for SC (P =.001). Sixteen (7 in IV, 9 in SC group) started with insulin pumps during the follow-up. At 24 months, we saw no significant differences: HbA1c (7.5%, 58mmol/mol, for IV, 7.2%, 55mmol/mol, for SC; ns), insulin doses (0.79 vs 0.88U/kg/d; ns), fasting C-peptide (0.08 vs 0.12nmol/L; ns), maximal MMTT response (0.19 vs 0.25nmol/L; ns) and AUC (18.26 vs 23.9 nmol/L*min; ns). Peak C-peptide >0.2 nmol/L in the combined IV and SC groups correlated significantly with HbA1c and C-peptide at onset in a multiple regression.Residual beta cell function at 2years seems to be independent from initial insulin regimens but related to HbA1c and C-peptide at onset.

- Delayed treatment for new-onset diabetes type 1 (T1D) can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) with potentially devastating consequences. This prospective observational study aimed to characterize pediatric patients with DKA at hospital admission, regarding parental awareness of diabetes-related symptoms and delayed referrals from primary health care providers to pediatric emergency wards.Patients 0-18years admitted to hospital with new-onset T1D and DKA between 2015 and 2017 were invited to participate. Questionnaires were filled out separately by the caregivers and by the attending hospital staff. Data from the Swedish national diabetes registry (SWEDIABKIDS) were used for comparison. Delayed referral was defined as a primary healthcare contact due to diabetes-related symptoms 0-4weeks before hospital admission without immediate referral, or registered elevated glucose levels at primary healthcare centers without immediate referral.The study included 237 patients, among which parental suspicion of new-onset diabetes before healthcare contacts was reported in 39%. Parental suspicion of diabetes was associated with higher pH values at diagnosis. Patients in contact with primary health care providers before hospital admission had a delayed referral in 43% of the cases. Delayed referral was associated with lower pH values at hospital admission. Symptoms leading to primary healthcare contacts were similar regardless of whether delay occurred or not.Parental suspicion of diabetes was associated with milder DKA at hospital admission. Delayed referral was seen in a considerable proportion of children with primary healthcare contacts for symptoms associated with diabetes. Increased awareness of diabetes symptoms is of paramount importance. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

- Objectives Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in type 1 diabetes (T1D) can occur during both insulin pump therapy (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, CSII) and insulin injection therapy (multiple daily injections, MDI). The primary aim of this study was to compare CSII and MDI regarding DKA frequency. A secondary aim was to compare metabolic derangement between CSII and MDI at hospital admission for DKA. Research Design and methods Children 0-17.99 years with established T1D admitted for DKA in Sweden from February 1, 2015 to January 31, 2017 were invited to participate. Data regarding demographics, laboratory data, CSII or MDI, and access to ketone meters and CGM were provided through questionnaires and medical records. The Swedish National Diabetes Registry (SWEDIABKIDS) was used to compare the distribution of CSII and MDI in the national population with the population admitted for DKA, using the chi-square goodness-of-fit test. Distribution of CSII and MDI was then categorized in clinical severity grades for mild (pH 7.20-7.29), moderate (pH 7.10-7.29) and severe DKA (pH <7.10). Results The distribution of CSII at DKA admission was significantly larger than in the national pediatric population with T1D (74.7% vs. 59.7%, p = 0.002). CSII was overrepresented in mild DKA (85.2% vs. with CSII, p < 0.001), but not in moderate/severe DKA (57.9% with CSII, p = 0.82). Mean HbA1c at hospital admission was 73.9 mmol/mol with CSII and 102.7 mmol/mol with MDI. Conclusions CSII was associated with higher risk of mild DKA than MDI. MDI was associated with markedly higher HbA1c levels than CSII at hospital admission for DKA.

- Aims: The aim of the study was to estimate the effect of household relative poverty on the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis at diagnosis of children with type 1 diabetes using an international standard measurement of relative poverty.Methods: A national population-based retrospective study was conducted. The Swedish National Diabetes Register (NDR) was linked with data from Sweden's public statistical agency (Statistics Sweden). Children who were diagnosed with new-onset type 1 diabetes in the period of 2014-2019 were common identifiers. The definition of diabetic ketoacidosis was venous pH <7.30 or a serum bicarbonate level <18 mmol/L. The exposure variable was defined according to the standard definition of the persistent at-risk-of-poverty rate used by the statistical office of the European Union (Eurostat) and several other European public statistical agencies. Univariate and multi-variable analyses were used to calculate the effect of relative poverty on the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis.Results: Children from households with relative poverty had a 41% higher risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (1.41, CI 1.12-1.77, p = 0.004) and more than double the risk of severe diabetic ketoacidosis (pH <7.10) (RR 2.10, CI 1.35-3.25, p = 0.001), as compared to children from households without relative poverty.Conclusions: Relative poverty significantly increases the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis at onset of type 1 diabetes in children, even in a high-income country with publicly reimbursed health care.
