  • Influence of the initial management regimen and family social situation on glycemic control and medical care in children with type I diabetes mellitus.

    • It is well known that social family factors are of importance in diabetes care, but it is not clear whether the initial management regimen can buffer these factors. In a prospective, randomized intervention study, 36 children with diabetes mellitus (type I) were followed, the aim being to study if a family psychosocial intervention at diagnosis could improve glycemic control and minimize hospital admissions. The control group was treated initially in a hospital ward, while the study group received problem-based learning and family-therapeutic and social support in an out-hospital training apartment. A number of family social variables were evaluated at the time of diagnosis and 6, 12 and 24 mo later. Family function was assessed using the self-estimated Family Climate Test at these same time-points. HbAlc values and information concerning in- and out-hospital visits to the pediatric clinic were collected for the 5-y period following diagnosis. We found no association between the offered management regimen and glycemic control or rate of readmission. In the study group only, both parents reported a significant improvement of the family climate. An increased risk for poor glycemic control was recorded in children living in one-parent families (p = 0.03) or in families where the father had a low level of education (p = 0.04). Younger age (p = 0.05), a single-parent family (p = 0.05) and poor glycemic control (p = 0.02) were associated with more days of rehospitalization. The rate of divorce in the whole group was at least as high as in the normal population but, surprisingly, maternal dysfunction was associated with lower HbAlc value. The conclusion is that even with an initial management regimen designed to offer a family-individual care regimen based on accurate estimation of the psychological and pedagogical needs, the social family background is a most important factor for the glycemic control and need for readmission.

  • Metabolic control in children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus 5 y after diagnosis. Early detection of patients at risk for poor metabolic control.
  • 1998
  • Ingår i: Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992). - 0803-5253. ; 87:8, s. 857-64

    • Children (n = 38) aged 3-15 y were randomly chosen, at the time of diabetes diagnosis, for conventional management at a hospital ward, or for treatment partly in a training apartment where the family was offered problem-based education and special therapeutic support. HbA1c, blood glucose stability, urinary C-peptide excretions and incidence of hypoglycaemic attacks and diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA) were monitored and some standardized, self-estimated psychological tests were performed during the first 2 y after diagnosis. During the 3 y thereafter, HbA1c, presence of DKA, microalbuminuria, retinopathy and hypertension were monitored. None of the patients demonstrated signs of diabetes microangiopathy or DKA. The overall mean HbA1c level was 7.2% 5 y after diagnosis and 30% of the children had HbA1c values <6.3%. There were no differences in the HbA1c values for the patients treated by the different management regimens. Blood glucose variability (SD) was also similar, with 75% of the values in the range of 3-10 mmol/l. Patients with poor glycaemic control (mean HbA1c >8.3%) year 5 after diagnosis had already the second year after diagnosis significantly higher HbA1c values and blood glucose variability. The fathers of these patients demonstrated a higher degree of maladjustment. On the basis of increasing HbA1c values, high blood glucose variability and psychosocial risk factors such as their fathers' emotional responses, patients at risk for poor metabolic control in the future can be identified within 2 y after diagnosis. Efforts and resources can thus be focused at an early stage on this group.

  • Temporary preservation of beta-cell function by diazoxide treatment in childhood type 1 diabetes
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: Diabetes Care. - : American Diabetes Association. - 0149-5992 .- 1935-5548. ; 27:9, s. 2191-7

    • OBJECTIVE: We examined the effect of diazoxide, an ATP-sensitive K(+) channel opener and inhibitor of insulin secretion, on beta-cell function and remission in children at clinical onset of type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 56 subjects (21 girls and 35 boys, age 7-17 years) were randomized to 3 months of active treatment (diazoxide 5-7.5 mg/kg in divided doses) or placebo in addition to multiple daily insulin injections and were followed for 2 years. RESULTS: Diazoxide decreased circulating C-peptide concentrations by approximately 50%. After cessation of the treatment, basal and meal-stimulated C-peptide concentrations increased to a maximum at 6 months, followed by a decline. Meal-stimulated C-peptide concentration was significantly higher at 12 months (0.43 +/- 0.22 vs. 0.31 +/- 0.26 nmol/l, P = 0.018) and tended to fall less from clinical onset to 24 months in the diazoxide- vs. placebo-treated patients (-0.05 +/- 0.24 vs. -0.18 +/- 0.26 nmol/l, P = 0.064). At 24 months, the meal-stimulated C-peptide concentrations were 0.24 +/- 0.20 and 0.20 +/- 0.17 nmol/l, respectively. Side effects of diazoxide were prevalent. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that partial inhibition of insulin secretion for 3 months at onset of childhood type 1 diabetes suspends the period of remission and temporarily preserves residual insulin production. Further evaluation of the full potential of beta-cell rest will require compounds with less side effects as well as protocols optimized for sustained secretory arrest.
