Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent studies have shown that the quality of life (QOL) of people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is poor and must be improved. However, the living situation and QOL of adults living with T1D in Japan have not been fully clarified. This study will examine their lifestyle, QOL, and clinical situation, as well as the relationships between them. METHODS This is a prospective, 5-year follow-up observational study. Between December 2019 and September 2021, we enrolled adults in Japan who were living with T1D and receiving insulin therapy, and are acquiring longitudinal clinical data and the responses to seven questionnaires regarding lifestyle and QOL. The primary study outcomes are (1) the relationship between Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) scores and various factors including demographic data, clinical characteristics, medical history, lifestyle habits, treatment history, biochemical data, and the scores of questionnaires; and (2) the relationship between Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)-II scores and various factors aforementioned. The secondary outcomes are the relationships between various factors aforementioned and each of the following: (1) blood glucose control, (2) blood lipid control, (3) dietary patterns, (4) fear of hypoglycemia, (5) sleep patterns, and (6) physical activity. PLANNED OUTCOME We registered 352 participants. The median age was 49 (41-63) years, and the median duration of T1D was 13 (8-20) years. All the results will be available in 2026. We expect to clarify the factors associated with decreased QOL, and that this knowledge will contribute to improving QOL in adults in Japan who are living with T1D and receiving insulin therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION diabetic complications have been identified as the major causes of morbidity and mortality in persons with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Lack of appropriate glycaemic control is a significant risk factor for the onset and progression of long term complications of diabetes. Identifying the determinants of good glycaemic control is therefore imperative. METHODS this was a cross-sectional, hospital-based study of children aged 3-18 years with T1DM. Subjects were consecutively enrolled after obtaining consent from their parents and assent from children aged ≥7 years. A questionnaire was completed recording their clinical history and sociodemographic variables. Their HbA1c was estimated and values ≤7.5% was defined as the cut-off for optimal glycaemic control. RESULTS seventy-one children with T1DM were enrolled for the study. Thirty-eight (53.5%) of them were males. Mean age (years) was 13.7±4. Mean age at onset of diabetes was 11.6 years (range: 3-16 years), mean duration of diabetes was 24.4 months (range: 4-84 months), mean HbA1c value was 10.5% (range: 6.4%-14%); a multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify determinants of optimal glycaemic control. Only caregivers' involvement in diabetes management P<0.016, odd ratio 13.03 (95% CI: 1.60-105.95) was identified as determinant of good glycaemic control. CONCLUSION our data suggest that of all the sociodemographic factors studied, caregivers' involvement in diabetes management was the only strong determinant for optimal glycaemic control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, anthropometric indices in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) have begun to change. OBJECTIVE To examine secular trends in patients' anthropometric indices. SUBJECTS Japanese children with T1DM from the 1995, 2000, 2008 and 2013 cohorts of The Japanese Study Group of Insulin Therapy for Childhood and Adolescent Diabetes. METHODS We analysed serum haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, the incidence of severe hypoglycaemic events, the types and doses of insulin, height standard deviation scores (SDS), body mass index (BMI) percentiles compared with healthy Japanese children and obesity prevalence over time. We also stratified the patients according to glycaemic control levels of <58 mmol/mol (optimal), 58-75 mmol/mol (suboptimal) and ≥75 mmol/mol (high-risk). RESULTS Data for 513-978 patients from each of the cohorts were analysed. The incidence of severe hypoglycaemic events decreased over time (from 21 to 4.8/100 patient-years), while the proportion of insulin analogue doses increased (14.6% to 98.6%). In addition, patient height SDS (-0.22 to +0.17), BMI percentile (52.1 to 58.7) and obesity prevalence (2.1% to 5.1%) increased. Height SDS increased in all of the glycaemic control subgroups, while BMI percentile and obesity prevalence increased in the suboptimal and high-risk groups. CONCLUSIONS Since 1995, the average height of children with T1DM has increased in parallel with increasing insulin doses. Clinicians should be aware of increased BMI in these patients and the associated risk of developing cardiovascular disease in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes registries contain vast amounts of data that can be used for quality improvement (QI) and are foundational elements of learning health systems; infrastructure to share data, create knowledge rapidly and inform decisions to improve health outcomes. QI interventions using adult diabetes registries are associated with improved glycemic control, complication screening rates, and reduced hospitalizations; pediatric data are limited. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of QI strategies that use pediatric diabetes registry data on care processes, organization of care, and patient outcomes. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Google, Google Scholar, Directory of Open Access Journals, and diabetes registry websites for studies that evaluated the impact of QI interventions on diabetes care processes, care organization, or patient outcomes, using pediatric diabetes registry data. Two reviewers independently assessed eligibility, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias. RESULTS Twelve studies were included. Most interventions targeted health-care providers and evaluated effects on patient outcomes. Five of nine studies that evaluated hemoglobin A1c found improvements of 0.26% to 0.85% (2.8-9.3 mmol/mol) while four found no difference. Many report positive effects on care processes or organization. Study data could not be combined because of variable study design and outcome measures. Included studies represent a minority of existing registries. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric diabetes registries are underused for QI and may facilitate improved care and outcomes. Existing vast amount of pediatric registry data could be used to foster the development of learning health systems and to improve diabetes care and outcomes.

Abstract
Fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (FT1DM) is a subtype of type 1 diabetes mellitus characterized by a remarkably abrupt onset. In Japan, FT1DM accounts for approximately 20% of acute-onset adult type 1 diabetes mellitus cases; however, reports of pediatric-onset FT1DM are rare. We aimed to determine the frequency and clinical characteristics of FT1DM in Japanese children and adolescents by conducting a 2-phase questionnaire survey among the members of the Japanese Study Group of Insulin Therapy for Childhood and Adolescent Diabetes (JSGIT) regarding their clinical experience with FT1DM. Responses were obtained from 54 of the 79 participating hospitals (68.4%). Of these, 8 hospitals managed a total of 15 pediatric patients with FT1DM (4 patients in each of 2 hospitals, 2 patients in 1 hospital, and 1 patient in each of 5 hospitals). The distribution of patient age was biphasic, with peaks in children younger than 5 years and older than 8 years of age. The clinical characteristics of FT1DM in this population (such as the duration from onset of symptoms to diagnosis, severity of symptoms, preceding flu-like episodes, and abnormal laboratory data) did not differ from those of patients with adult-onset FT1DM. The frequency of pediatric-onset FT1DM is low compared with that of adult-onset FT1DM. The genetic background and susceptibility patterns of pediatric patients with FT1DM may differ from those typical of adults with FT1DM, but both age groups share similar clinical characteristics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although insulin analogs have dramatically changed diabetes treatment, scarce evidence is available on those effects. We aimed to explore whether glycemic control had improved, the use of insulin analogs had been increased, and hypoglycemic events had decreased over time in Japanese pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS Glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values, proportion of insulin regimens, incidence of severe hypoglycemic events, and pubertal increase in HbA1c were compared in three cohorts of childhood-onset Japanese T1D patients (567 subjects in the 1995 cohort, 754 subjects in the 2000 cohort, and 806 subjects in the 2008 cohort). RESULTS Mean HbA1c values tended to decrease [78.5 mmol/mol (9.33%) in the 1995 cohort, 68.2 mmol/mol (8.39%) in the 2000 cohort, and 61.2 mmol/mol (7.75%) in the 2008 cohort; P < .0001]. The proportion of patients who received basal-bolus treatment tended to increase with statistical significance, as did the proportion on insulin analogs. The incidence of severe hypoglycemic events (events/100 patients/y) had decreased (19.1 in the 2000 cohort and 8.7 in the 2008 cohort; P = .02). The pubertal increase in HbA1c tended to decrease [males, 12.0 mmol/mol (1.10%) in 1995, 9.4 mmol/mol (0.85%) in 2008, and 9.4 mmol/mol (0.86%) in 2008; P = .55; females, 14.0 mmol/mol (1.28%) in 1995, 10.3 mmol/mol (0.94%) in 2000, and 4.2 mmol/mol (0.38%) in 2008; P = .0003]. CONCLUSIONS Glycemic control and incidence of severe hypoglycemic events were chronologically improved, especially in female adolescents.

Abstract
Background. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is the most common endocrine disorder in children and adolescents worldwide. While data about prevalence, treatment, and complications are recorded in many countries, few data exist for Sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of this study was to determine the degree of control in patients with T1DM aged 1-19 years over a 6-month period in 3 outpatient Kenyan clinics. It also sought to determine how control was influenced by parameters of patient and treatment. Methods. Eighty-two children and adolescents with T1DM were included in the study. Clinical history regarding duration of illness, type and dose of insulin, and recent symptoms of hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia were recorded. Glycaemia, HbA1c, and ketonuria were tested. HbA1c of 8.0% and below was defined as the cut-off for acceptable control. Results. The median HbA1c for the study population was 11.1% (range: 6.3-18.8). Overall, only 28% of patients had reasonable glycemic control as defined in this study. 72% therefore had poor control. It was also found that age above 12 years was significantly associated with poor control. Conclusions. African children and with T1DM are poorly controlled particularly in adolescents. Our data strongly support the necessity of Kenya children to receive more aggressive management and follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This multicenter observational study was conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of insulin detemir (detemir) for diabetes management in Japanese children and adolescents. METHODS Data from the Japanese Study Group of Insulin Therapy for Childhood and Adolescent Diabetes database were analyzed. Ninety children (32 boys, 58 girls; mean age, 11.9 ± 3.8 years) who transferred from a neutral protamine Hagedorn insulin or insulin glargine basal-bolus regimen to detemir basal-bolus therapy and who were observed for at least 12 months were identified. Clinical data obtained at 0, 3, 6, and 12 months were analyzed to determine the type of bolus insulin used, number and timing of detemir injections, detemir dose as a proportion of the total insulin dose, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose (FBG) and frequency of severe hypoglycemia. RESULTS Twelve months after switching to detemir, the detemir dose represented 39.8% of the total insulin dose, and 37.8% of patients were being treated with twice-daily injections. HbA1c and FBG were significantly reduced from baseline at 3 and 6 months but not at 12 months. Considering the seasonal HbA1c variation in the Japanese population, a separate analysis was performed using data for 65 children (21 boys, 44 girls; mean age, 11.6 ± 2.9 years) who switched to detemir during the winter. Subset analysis showed significant HbA1c reductions from baseline at all specified times. The incidence of severe hypoglycemia during detemir treatment was 4.4 episodes per 100 patient-years. CONCLUSIONS Detemir is an effective and safe basal insulin for diabetes management in Japanese children and adolescents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess (i) the health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) of primary, junior and high school children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and to compare it with that of healthy school children; and (ii) to compare the diabetes-related QOL (DR-QOL) and the QOL of parents of children with diabetes, between type 1 and type 2 diabetes in Japan. METHODS Overall, 471 patients aged 9-18 years (368 with type 1 and 103 with type 2 diabetes) and their parents were involved. QOL was assessed using a self-administered questionnaire. RESULTS The total score for HR-QOL of primary and junior school children with type 1 diabetes was significantly higher than that of those with type 2 diabetes and healthy controls. However, there were no significant differences in high school children. Some subscales regarding HR-QOL were significantly lower for children with type 2 diabetes than for children with type 1 diabetes or healthy controls. The DR-QOL of children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes did not significantly differ. The Family Burden and Family Involvement were significantly greater in parents of children with type 1 diabetes. There were significantly positive correlations between HR-QOL and DR-QOL in both groups. In type 1 diabetes only, there were significant negative correlations between glycated hemoglobin and some subscales of the HR-QOL and QOL of parents of children with diabetes, and weak positive correlation between glycated hemoglobin and Family Burden. CONCLUSIONS The HR-QOL of school children with type 1 diabetes was higher than that of those with type 2 diabetes and healthy school children. The QOL of school children with type 1 diabetes was not impaired.

Clin Pediatr Endocrinol 2006; 15:73-8.

Abstract
We investigated the changes of anthropometrical parameters in Japanese children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) from birth to the onset of diabetes. One-hundred ninety-nine children (79 males and 120 females) diagnosed between 0-16 yr of age during the period between 1990 and 2003 were the subjects of this study. The subjects were categorized into 3 groups according to onset age (0-5 yr; n=74, 5-10 yr; n=61, 10-16 yr; n=64). At birth, the younger onset (<5) group had significant lower height and weight standard deviation score (SDS) compared with the older onset (5≤) group (p=0.01 and p=0.02, respectively). When the changes in height SDS from birth to onset were compared, height SDS at onset were significantly greater than those at birth in the younger onset group (p<0.001). However, no significant difference was observed in the other groups (p=0.95 and p=0.39). These results suggest that relatively small size at birth and accelerated growth after birth until the onset of diabetes may be a characteristic of Japanese T1DM children with younger onset and may further support the hypothesis that emphasizes accelerated growth and subsequent insulin resistance as a cause of earlier onset of T1DM.

[PMID: 15713355 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2004.06.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2004] [Revised: 05/11/2004] [Accepted: 06/28/2004] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the past 10-year status of insulin therapy for preschool-age children with type 1 diabetes in Japan. One-hundred and forty-two patients who had been diagnosed at less than 5 years of age within the past 10 years (1993-2002) at 36 hospitals were registered in this study on April 2003. The methods of daily insulin therapy and episodes of severe hypoglycemia during the preschool period were investigated. Eighty-six (60.6%) children were treated with a pen-type device and 56 (39.4%) were treated with a syringe-type device. The once-a-day insulin regimen was used for 2, a twice-a-day regimen for 104, a three-times-a-day for 28 and a four-times-a-day for 8. Episodes of severe hypoglycemia were recorded in nearly half of the subjects, and one-fourth of the subjects had repeated episodes. One hundred and eleven of their parents were questioned regarding the degree of psychosocial stress experienced during the care of their children. Most parents worried about the glycosylated hemoglobin value at each hospital visit. They were next very afraid of nocturnal severe hypoglycemia, independent of any actual experience. These results suggest that although insulin therapy can involve various methods, the important point is to simultaneously provide good glycemic control and prevent severe hypoglycemia, especially during this age.

A questionnaire survey on the use of quick-acting insulin analog in Japanese children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Pediatr Int 2004; 46:285-90.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the actual condition of quick-acting insulin analog (Q) in Japanese children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. METHODS Forty-seven physicians who managed 944 patients under 18 years of age with type 1 diabetes, were requested to complete questionnaires in May 2002 regarding the use of Q. RESULTS Q was administered to 417 out of 944 (44%) patients. The details of the daily insulin regimens were as follows: three doses of Q with basal insulin in 116 of 403 (29%), three doses of Q with more than twice the basal insulin in 69 of 403 (17%), and other modifications using either Q or regular insulin (R) depending on the patients' lifestyles in 213 of 403 (53%). Q dose was equal to R after the change of insulin regimens in 232 of 290 (80%). After switching to Q from R, the basal insulin dosage increased in 113 of 341 (33%) and the number of basal insulin injections increased in 42 of 341 (12%). After the transfer to Q from R, glycemic control was judged to improve in 179 of 372 (48%), to have no significant change in 162 of 372 (44%), and to aggravate in 31 of 372 (8%). The majority of patients, (305/389; 78%), noted an improvement of quality of life (QOL) following the administration of Q. CONCLUSIONS Q was considered to be useful in flexibility of daily insulin therapy and improvement of QOL in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Insulin therapy for type 1 diabetes during childhood and adolescence should be tailored to meet individual needs.
