[Type 1 diabetes: an update].

ABSTRACT: The incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been rising steadily over the last 30 years, especially among children and adolescents, with the result that the number of cases in this age group doubles every 20 years. The development of T1D goes through three stages, which can vary in duration from individual to individual. Late diagnosis or incorrect interpretation of the symptoms leads to the life-threatening diabetic ketoacidosis, from which every third child in Germany suffers at the manifestation of T1D. Diabetes that manifests in adulthood is regularly misclassified and treated, at least initially, as type 2 diabetes. There are no fundamental differences in the insulin therapy of T1D in children, adolescents and adults. The use of insulin pump therapy and continuous glucose monitoring is steadily increasing with the aim of reducing the number and duration of hypo- and hyperglycemic episodes, increasing the time in range between 70-180 mg/dl (3,9-10 mmol/l) and reaching the treatment goal of an HbA1c below 7% (53 mmol/mol). In addition to the prevention of diabetes-related long-term microvascular complications, the timely detection and treatment of cardiovascular risk factors is of extraordinary importance also for young people with T1D.

Genes involved in type 1 diabetes: an update.

Project description:Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a chronic multifactorial disease with a strong genetic component, which, through interactions with specific environmental factors, triggers disease onset. T1D typically manifests in early to mid childhood through the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β cells resulting in a lack of insulin production. Historically, prior to genome-wide association studies (GWAS), six loci in the genome were fully established to be associated with T1D. With the advent of high-throughput single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping array technologies, enabling investigators to perform high-density GWAS, many additional T1D susceptibility genes have been discovered. Indeed, recent meta-analyses of multiple datasets from independent investigators have brought the tally of well-validated T1D disease genes to almost 60. In this mini-review, we address recent advances in the genetics of T1D and provide an update on the latest susceptibility loci added to the list of genes involved in the pathogenesis of T1D.

Pharmacogenetic studies update in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a silent progressive polygenic metabolic disorder resulting from ineffective insulin cascading in the body. World-wide, about 415 million people are suffering from T2DM with a projected rise to 642 million in 2040. T2DM is treated with several classes of oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) viz. biguanides, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, meglitinides, etc. Treatment strategies for T2DM are to minimize long-term micro and macro vascular complications by achieving an optimized glycemic control. Genetic variations in the human genome not only disclose the risk of T2DM development but also predict the personalized response to drug therapy. Inter-individual variability in response to OADs is due to polymorphisms in genes encoding drug receptors, transporters, and metabolizing enzymes for example, genetic variants in solute carrier transporters (SLC22A1, SLC22A2, SLC22A3, SLC47A1 and SLC47A2) are actively involved in glycemic/HbA1c management of metformin. In addition, CYP gene encoding Cytochrome P450 enzymes also play a crucial role with respect to metabolism of drugs. Pharmacogenetic studies provide insights on the relationship between individual genetic variants and variable therapeutic outcomes of various OADs. Clinical utility of pharmacogenetic study is to predict the therapeutic dose of various OADs on individual basis. Pharmacogenetics therefore, is a step towards personalized medicine which will greatly improve the efficacy of diabetes treatment.

Update on the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Project description:To achieve good metabolic control in diabetes and keep long term, a combination of changes in lifestyle and pharmacological treatment is necessary. Achieving near-normal glycated hemoglobin significantly, decreases risk of macrovascular and microvascular complications. At present there are different treatments, both oral and injectable, available for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Treatment algorithms designed to reduce the development or progression of the complications of diabetes emphasizes the need for good glycaemic control. The aim of this review is to perform an update on the benefits and limitations of different drugs, both current and future, for the treatment of T2DM. Initial intervention should focus on lifestyle changes. Moreover, changes in lifestyle have proven to be beneficial, but for many patients is a complication keep long term. Physicians should be familiar with the different types of existing drugs for the treatment of diabetes and select the most effective, safe and better tolerated by patients. Metformin remains the first choice of treatment for most patients. Other alternative or second-line treatment options should be individualized depending on the characteristics of each patient. This article reviews the treatments available for patients with T2DM, with an emphasis on agents introduced within the last decade.

2011 Update: antigen-specific therapy in type 1 diabetes.

Project description:To update on the clinical trials using antigen-specific therapies in autoimmune diabetes.Type 1 diabetes is now a predictable disease with the measurement of islet autoantibodies, and the incidence is increasing dramatically. Well tolerated and effective interventions are needed to stop the underlying autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells. Beta-cell antigens, insulin and glutamic acid decarboxylase, are being used to preserve endogenous insulin production in individuals with new-onset diabetes and to prevent diabetes. The results of antigen-specific immune intervention trials are reviewed and consideration is given to future directions for inducing tolerance in type 1 diabetes.Antigen-specific immune therapies act by enhancing regulatory T cell function, in animal models often locally and selectively in islets or pancreatic lymph nodes while inhibiting effector T cells. This therapeutic pathway provides a safe treatment to preserve beta cell function in new-onset diabetic individuals with the GAD-Alum vaccine being the most extensively studied therapy. Insulin is being used in many forms to prevent diabetes and stop the underlying autoimmune process. For the future, combination immune therapies targeting different pathways in the immune system will be needed to effectively induce sustained tolerance in type 1 diabetes.

Update on developments with SGLT2 inhibitors in the management of type 2 diabetes.

Project description:The importance of the kidney's role in glucose homeostasis has gained wider understanding in recent years. Consequently, the development of a new pharmacological class of anti-diabetes agents targeting the kidney has provided new treatment options for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Sodium glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, such as dapagliflozin, canagliflozin, and empagliflozin, decrease renal glucose reabsorption, which results in enhanced urinary glucose excretion and subsequent reductions in plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin concentrations. Modest reductions in body weight and blood pressure have also been observed following treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors. SGLT2 inhibitors appear to be generally well tolerated, and have been used safely when given as monotherapy or in combination with other oral anti-diabetes agents and insulin. The risk of hypoglycemia is low with SGLT2 inhibitors. Typical adverse events appear to be related to the presence of glucose in the urine, namely genital mycotic infection and lower urinary tract infection, and are more often observed in women than in men. Data from long-term safety studies with SGLT2 inhibitors and from head-to-head SGLT2 inhibitor comparator studies are needed to fully determine their benefit-risk profile, and to identify any differences between individual agents. However, given current safety and efficacy data, SGLT2 inhibitors may present an attractive option for T2DM patients who are failing with metformin monotherapy, especially if weight is part of the underlying treatment consideration.

Update on diagnosis, pathogenesis and management of ketosis-prone Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Project description:Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) has been considered a key clinical feature of Type 1 diabetes mellitus; however, increasing evidence indicates that DKA is also a common feature of Type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Many cases of DKA develop under stressful conditions such as trauma or infection but an increasing number of cases without precipitating cause have been reported in children and adults with T2DM. Such patients present with severe hyperglycemia and ketosis as in Type 1 diabetes mellitus but can discontinue insulin after a few months and maintain acceptable glycemic control on diet or oral agents. This subtype of diabetes has been referred to as ketosis-prone T2DM. In this article, we reviewed the literature on ketosis-prone T2DM and summarized the epidemiology, putative pathophysiology and approaches to management.

Metformin treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in pregnancy: update on safety and efficacy.

Project description:With the increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in women of childbearing age, prescribing antidiabetic medications in first-trimester pregnancy is becoming more common. Metformin treatment during this time is usually avoided in countries with well-resourced healthcare. This is based on historical concerns about safety to the foetus and the widespread availability of insulin. However, there is now increasing interest in the potential benefits of metformin in pregnant women with T2DM. In this commentary, the main evidence supporting metformin safety in pregnancy is summarized, with an emphasis on the first trimester. Based on a structured literature search, the recent randomized controlled trials comparing metformin and insulin are reviewed. We then show that prescribing advice for metformin in pregnancy is inconsistent and product information/package inserts (PI) are universally out of date. This causes confusion and pushes some women and their clinicians to change from metformin to insulin. The potential advantages of metformin in pregnant women with T2DM are then discussed, including oral dosing and improved acceptability, lower resource utilization and cost, decreased insulin requirements, less maternal weight gain and less risk of maternal and neonatal hypoglycaemia. The conclusion is that metformin is a cheap and efficacious antidiabetic medication for many pregnant women with T2DM, with reasonable evidence for safety. Drug information resources should be updated so that metformin can be considered more broadly in women with T2DM who present for antenatal care.

An update on the use of NOD mice to study autoimmune (Type 1) diabetes.

Project description:The widely used nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse model of autoimmune (Type 1) diabetes mellitus shares multiple characteristics with the human disease, and studies employing this model continue to yield clinically relevant and important information. Here, we review some of the recent key findings obtained from NOD mouse investigations that have both advanced our understanding of disease pathogenesis and suggested new therapeutic targets and approaches. Areas discussed include antigen discovery, identification of genes and pathways contributing to disease susceptibility, development of strategies to image islet inflammation and the testing of therapeutics. We also review recent technical advances that, combined with an improved understanding of the NOD mouse model's limitations, should work to ensure its popularity, utility and relevance in the years ahead.

Continual evolution of type 2 diabetes: an update on pathophysiology and emerging treatment options.

Project description:Diabetes is a complex and progressive disease that has a major societal and economic impact. The most common form of diabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), is a multifactorial disease, the pathophysiology of which involves not only the pancreas but also the liver, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, gastrointestinal tract, brain, and kidney. Novel therapies with mechanisms of action that are different from most existing drugs are emerging. One such class consists of compounds that inhibit renal sodium-glucose cotransporter 2, which is responsible for the bulk of glucose reabsorption by the kidneys. This new class of compounds improves glycemic control independently of insulin and promotes weight reduction, providing an additional tool to treat patients with T2DM. This review discusses the underlying pathophysiology of T2DM, clinical guidelines, and available and emerging treatment options, with particular emphasis on sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors.

Typ-1-Diabetes: Fruherkennung und Ansatze zur Pravention : Update 2020 Type 1 diabetes: Early diagnosis and preventive approachesUpdate 2020

Project description:Die Inzidenz des Typ-1-Diabetes nimmt zu, besonders bei Kleinkindern. Die Erkrankung kann effektiv bereits im asymptomatischen Frühstadium der Inselautoimmunität erkannt werden. Ein Screening ist nicht nur für Risikofamilien, sondern auch in bevölkerungsweiten Studien wie Fr1daplus in Bayern möglich und sinnvoll. Komplikationen bei der Manifestation kann durch eine frühe Diagnosestellung vorgebeugt werden. Die Teilnahme an experimentellen Interventionen zur Verzögerung der Stadienprogression ist möglich. Unterschiedliche Ansätze zur sekundären Prävention werden verfolgt. Mit dem monoklonalen Antikörper Teplizumab gelang es erstmals, bei Patienten in Stadium 2 den Zeitpunkt der Manifestation hinauszuzögern. Säuglinge mit einem hohen Risiko für die Entwicklung eines Typ-1-Diabetes können durch genetisches Screening identifiziert werden. Bei der Primärprävention wird u. a. das Ziel verfolgt, das Entstehen der Autoimmunreaktion zu verhindern. In der POInT-Studie sollen bei Risikokindern durch frühe orale Exposition zu Insulin die Immuntoleranz verbessert und das Auftreten eines Frühstadiums verzögert oder verhindert werden. Anknüpfend an das Leitthemenheft Früherkennung und präventive Behandlung des Typ-1-Diabetes dieser Zeitschrift von 2018 werden in diesem Beitrag ausgewählte Entwicklungen als Update der letzten 2 Jahre vorgestellt.
