Management of type 1 diabetes and HbA1c audit

Kyaw Khine Wut Yee , Grove Allison , Hemming Victoria

Background: There is clear evidence that achieving optimal glycaemic control in type 1diabetes reduces the complications of diabetes. Increased technology use is associated with lower HbA1c. NICE target HbA1c is 48 mmol/mmol.Objective: Are there differences in HbA1c between patients with Type 1 diabetes using continuous glucose monitoring sensor (CGM) or hybrid closed loops in real world setting in paediatric patients at...

Acceptability of a general population childhood type 1 diabetes screening programme: a qualitative study – T1 Early

Scudder Claire , Townson Julia , Bowen-Morris Jane , Evans Philip , Jones Sarah , Thomas Nick , Stanford Jane , Fox Robin , Todd John , Greenfield Sheila , Gillespie Kathleen , Dayan Colin , Besser Rachel

Background: General population screening for type 1 diabetes (T1D) using islet autoantibodies (IAb) is gaining international momentum, since screening reduces diabetic ketoacidosis, hospitalisation and identifies individuals eligible for future preventative treatments. Qualitative studies have only been undertaken in at-risk individuals (1). We therefore aimed to explore parentsÂ’ experiences of their child taking part in a general population T1D screening...

Improved glycaemic control with insulin hybrid closed-loop system

Lee Shien Chen , Brown Katie , Muniu Susan , Mccrea Kathryn

Introduction: Hybrid closed-loop system (HCS) in Type 1 diabetes (T1D) management uses an automated algorithm to adjust basal insulin and administer correction doses to maintain glucose homeostasis. We have more children with HbA1c <58 mmol/mol. We aim to investigate if HCS contributed to this improvement.Methods: We identified TID children who started on HCS in our hospital from the year 2019–2023. Our HCS are ...

Don’t forget bone health: Increased fracture risk in type 1 diabetes

Moon Rebecca , Curtis Elizabeth , D'Angelo Stefania , Raisi-Estabragh Zahra , Cooper Cyrus , Harvey Nicholas

Objectives: Fracture risk is increased in individuals with diabetes mellitus, but how this is related to bone mineral density (BMD), adiposity, inflammation, disease duration and diabetic complications is less well understood. We aimed to investigate associations between type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 (T2DM) diabetes and incident fracture in a large population study.Methods: UK Biobank is a population study incorporating indiv...

Exploring the social and clinical impact of a residential activity camp for children and families with type 1 diabetes: A video-based study of camp Charnwood

Green Steve , Dublon Dr Victoria

Aim: Promoting cohesion, community and knowledge of diabetes through the co-production of a video exploring the social and clinical impact of attending a residential activity camp for children and families living with type 1 diabetesMethod: From our knowledge of attending previous diabetes camps, the video will begin by highlighting the background and motivation behind the study, emphasising the limited understanding of ...

Atrial natriuretic peptide and copeptin levelsrelationship with serum osmolality in pediatric patients with diabetic ketoacidosis

Karahan Seyda , Orbak Zerrin , Demir Busra , Ozturk Nurinnisa

Introduction: Diabetic ketoacidosis is a metabolic event that occurs as a result of the absence or deficiency of insulin and the increase in contrinsuliner hormones, resulting in disruption of electrolyte and water regulation. In this study, it was planned to investigate the changes in ANP, copeptin, renin, aldosterone levels before and after rehydration and insulin therapy in pediatric patients with a diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis followed in the pediatr...

A UK survey on the screening and management of childhood pre-clinical type 1 diabetes

Swaby Rabbi , Randell Tabitha , Scudder Claire , Bowen-Morris Jane , Townson Julia , Dayan Colin , Marcovecchio Loredana , Besser Rachel

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) onset may start years prior to clinical presentation. Screening children and young people (CYP) for T1D using islet autoantibodies (IAb) through research studies is gaining international momentum, since screening reduces diabetic ketoacidosis, hospitalisation and offers access to drug therapies for delaying T1D onset1. Recently, ISPAD provided recommendations on monitoring for pre-clinical T1D in CYP, however no U...

Evaluating the impact of planned ward admissions in High HbA1c patients

Radhakrishnan Sijith , Makaya Taffy

Introduction: NICE guidelines recommend additional support is provided to CYP with a high HbA1c. Elective hospital admissions are one option for improving glycaemic control.Aims/objectives: To evaluate the implementation of, and impact on HbA1c of, planned admissions in CYP in our service.Methods: All planned admissions for management of sustained high HbA1c in patients with known ...

Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL) gene mutation in a girl with diabetic ketoacidosis, acute pancreatitis and hypertriglyceridemia

Kilimci Duygu Duzcan , Bal Alkan , Ozkınay Ferda , Ersoy Betul

The combination of acute pancreatitis (AP), severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) possess a life-threatening triad. The pathogenesis of HTG is explained by insulin deficiency, but although DKA is a frequent complication in children and adolescents, this triad is rare. We report a 10-year-old girl with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) for 10 months, who presented with DKA, severe HTG and AP. Her serum was lipemic. She had HTG (1733 mg/dL) and severe ab...

Type 1 diabetes associated with primary sclerosing cholangitis and inflammatory bowel disease – a rare autoimmune combination

Shah Shilpa , Millar Sarinda , Gupte Girish , McLaughlin Louise

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition resulting in insulin deficiency. Surveillance of other autoimmune disorders such as coeliac disease and hypothyroidism is common practice due to their higher co association. We describe a case of a 14 year old girl with 2 rarer autoimmune conditions; primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)Case summary: A 14 year old girl presented ...

Enhancing engagement in a diabetes camp for families and young people: A promising approach to empowerment and sustainability during a cost of living crisis

Green Steve , Dublon Dr Victoria

Aim: Camps offer valuable opportunities for creating a supportive environment of like-minded people with similar experiences of living with diabetes, thereby promoting self-efficacy, wellbeing and a healthy life style. In the midst of a post-Covid cost of living crisis, finance was identified as a major obstacle for families wishing to attend residential diabetes camps. A sustainable strategy, supported by co-production with young people, was needed to facilit...
