Abstract
Prediabetes, the precursor of type 2 diabetes mellitus, is an intermediate stage between normal glucose homeostasis and overt diabetes. This asymptomatic metabolic state is increasingly prevalent in pediatric population and is very difficult to detect without appropriate screening. Studies have shown that a certain proportion of children with prediabetes will develop diabetes in a few years. Even more alarming is the evidence that youth-onset diabetes has a more aggressive clinical course with progressive beta-cell decline and accelerated end-organ damage. Despite its importance, several aspects involving prediabetes in childhood are disputed or unknown. This review presents the latest insights into this challenging entity and outlines a simplified screening approach to aid clinical practice. In summary, childhood prediabetes is an important clinical condition indicating the need for proper screening and timely intervention.

Int J Obes (Lond) 2023; 47:1050-1056. [PMID: 37500925 DOI: 10.1038/s41366-023-01353-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to characterize the effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on 2 h plasma glucose (2 h PG) values after an OGTT postulating a correlation between 2 h PG spectrum and the decline of β-cell function. Particularly, we tried to evaluate the effects on the risk of showing 2 h plasma glucose values in the highest range of normal values in children and adolescent with obesity during COVID-19 Pandemic compared to those evaluated during the 13 years before. SUBJECTS/METHODS Data from 532 children and adolescents with obesity and overweight (before COVID-19 Pandemic, 209M/262F, 2008-2019; during COVID-19 Pandemic, 40M/21F, 2020-2021) who had undergone a complete evaluation and had performed an OGTT were analyzed. The two groups were further divided into three sub-groups based on the 2 h PG, group 1 (2 h PG < 5.55 mmol/L), group 2 (5.56 < 2 h PG < 6.60 mmol/L), group 3 (6.61 < 2h PG < 7.72 mmol/L), respectively. The prevalence of 2 h PG values distribution in children was evaluated between before and during COVID-19 Pandemic period and the main differences between the two groups 3 of each period were analyzed. RESULTS A significant difference (P = 0.01) in terms of distribution of the prevalence of 2h PG values was documented between the group before COVID-19 (35.6%, 45.9% and 18.5%) and the group during COVID-19 Pandemic (31.1%, 31.1% and 37.8%). A roughly doble higher prevalence of subjects with pre-IGT was documented in the COVID-19 group. In addition, group 3 of COVID-19 time showed significantly higher values for waist circumference (WC), Waist/Height ratio (WtHR), fasting glucose and HOMA-IR compared to the group 3 of the period before COVID-19 Pandemic (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS During COVID-19 time a higher percentage of children are in the highest range of normal 2 h PG values which is known to be associated with a significant impairment of β-cell function and insulin sensitivity and have higher risk of developing IGT.

Abstract
Objective The purpose of this study is to investigate the independent influencing factors of the transition from normal population to prediabetes, and from prediabetes to diabetes, and to further construct clinical prediction models to provide a basis for the prevention and management of prediabetes and diabetes. Materials and methods The data for this study were based on clinical information of participants from the Health Management Center of Peking University Shenzhen Hospital. Participants were classified into normal group, prediabetes group, and diabetes group according to their functional status of glucose metabolism. Spearman's correlation coefficients were calculated for the variables, and a matrix diagram was plotted. Further, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted to explore the independent influencing factors. The independent influencing factors were used as predictors to construct the full-variable prediction model (Full.model) and simplified prediction model (Simplified.model). Results This study included a total of 5310 subjects and 22 variables, among which there were 1593(30%) in the normal group, 3150(59.3%) in the prediabetes group, and 567(10.7%) in the diabetes group. The results of the multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that there were significant differences in 9 variables between the normal group and the prediabetes group, including age(Age), body mass index(BMI), systolic blood pressure(SBP), urinary glucose(U.GLU), urinary protein(PRO), total protein(TP), globulin(GLB), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C). There were significant differences in 7 variables between the prediabetes group and the diabetes group, including Age, BMI, SBP, U.GLU, PRO, triglycerides(TG), and HDL.C. The Full.model and Simplified.model constructed based on the above influencing factors had moderate discriminative power in both the training set and the test set. Conclusion Age, BMI, SBP, U.GLU, PRO, TP, and ALT are independent risk factors, while GLB and HDL.C are independent protective factors for the development of prediabetes in the normal population. Age, BMI, SBP, U.GLU, PRO, and TG are independent risk factors, while HDL.C is an independent protective factor for the progression from prediabetes to diabetes. The Full.model and Simplified.model developed based on these influencing factors have moderate discriminative power.

Prevalence of type 2 diabetes risk factors, including overweight and obesity, among youth attending hospital-based paediatric care in Western Melbourne. J Paediatr Child Health 2023; 59:271-275. [PMID: 36427023 DOI: 10.1111/jpc.16283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
AIM To determine the prevalence of risk factors for type 2 diabetes in overweight and obese adolescents attending hospital-based paediatric care in Western Melbourne. METHODS One hundred overweight and obese adolescents (aged 10-17 years) who attended an outpatient clinic at Sunshine Hospital between May 2019 and May 2020 were randomly selected following a retrospective chart review of 10-17 years old for whom a height and weight had been documented. Additional risk factors for type 2 diabetes were ascertained via structured telephone interview. Data were analysed to determine the overall prevalence of risk factors for type 2 diabetes, and to evaluate for associations between each parameter with body mass index and the number of risk factors. RESULTS Of the 487 adolescents who had height and weight data recorded, 45% were overweight or obese. 77% of those who were interviewed had an additional risk factor for type 2 diabetes. No association between the number of risk factors and body mass index standard deviation score was found. Additionally, there was no association between the number of risk factors for type 2 diabetes and either family history of type 2 diabetes or ethnicity. CONCLUSIONS This paediatric subpopulation had a high rate of risk factors for type 2 diabetes in addition to overweight and obesity, and are at risk of premature mortality and chronic morbidity should they develop type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) among children and adolescents has remarkably increased in the last two decades, particularly among ethnic minorities. Management of T2DM is challenging in the adolescent population due to a constellation of factors, including biological, socioeconomic, cultural, and psychological barriers. Weight reduction is an essential component in management of T2DM as weight loss is associated with improvement in insulin sensitivity and glycemic status. A family centered and culturally appropriate approach offered by a multidisciplinary team is crucial to address the biological, psychosocial, cultural, and financial barriers to weight management in youth with T2DM. Lifestyle interventions and pharmacotherapy have shown modest efficacy in achieving weight reduction in adolescents with T2DM. Bariatric surgery is associated with excellent weight reduction and remission of T2DM in youth. Emerging therapies for weight reduction in youth include digital technologies, newer GLP-1 agonists and endoscopic procedures.

Abstract
AIM To assess a new formula to improve the screening of isolated impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in youth with overweight/obesity (OW/OB). METHODS AND RESULTS A cross-sectional study was performed in 1189 Caucasian youths with OW/OB aged 5-17 years, in whom impaired fasting glucose and high glycosylated hemoglobin were excluded. The sample was divided into training set (TS) (n = 883) and validation set (VS) (n = 306). Fasting (FG) and post-load plasma glucose, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lipids and familial history for type 2 diabetes (FD) were available in all individuals. In the TS youths with IGT (n = 58, 7.0%) showed higher prevalence of female sex (FS), FD, and higher levels of FG, post-load glucose, ALT and lower levels of HDL-cholesterol vs individuals without IGT. The linear formula was obtained by logistic regression analysis in the TS: 0.05∗ALT + 0.07∗FG + 0.87∗FD + (0.06∗HDL∗ - 1) + 1∗FS. The best cut-off was 5.84. The performance of the formula vs IGT was: sensitivity: 0.74 and specificity: 0.71. Similar results were obtained in the VS. CONCLUSIONS Using metabolic and anamnestic data we obtained a simple formula with a good performance for screening isolated IGT. This formula may support pediatricians to identify youths with OW/OB in whom the OGTT may be useful for detecting IGT.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the prevalence of pre-diabetes phenotypes, i.e., impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), increased HbA1c (IA1c), and their association with metabolic profile and atherogenic lipid profile in youths with overweight/obesity (OW/OB). METHODS This cross-sectional study analyzed data of 1549 youths (5-18 years) with OW/OB followed in nine Italian centers between 2016 and 2020. Fasting and post-load measurements of glucose, insulin, and HbA1c were available. Insulin resistance (IR) was estimated by HOMA-IR and insulin sensitivity (IS) by reciprocal of fasting insulin. The atherogenic lipid profile was assessed by triglycerides-to-HDL ratio or cholesterol-to-HDL ratio. Insulinogenic index was available in 939 youths, in whom the disposition index was calculated. RESULTS The prevalence of overall pre-diabetes, IFG, IGT and IA1c was 27.6%, 10.2%, 8% and 16.3%, respectively. Analyzing each isolated phenotype, IGT exhibited two- to three-fold higher odds ratio of family history of diabetes, and worse metabolic and atherogenic lipid profile vs normoglycemic youths; IFG was associated only with IR, while IA1c showed a metabolic and atherogenic lipid profile intermediate between IGT and IFG. CONCLUSION Prevalence of pre-diabetes was high and IA1c was the most prevalent phenotype in Italian youths with OW/OB. The IGT phenotype showed the worst metabolic and atherogenic lipid profile, followed by IA1c. More studies are needed to assess whether HbA1c may help improving the prediction of diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate prevalence of prediabetes (impaired fasting glucose, IFG; impaired glucose tolerance, IGT; and high glycated haemoglobin, h-HbA1c) in children and adolescents in relation to class of age and obesity; to appraise association with estimates of insulin metabolism, cardiovascular risk factors and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels. METHODS Study of marginal prevalence (i.e., as function of sex, age and obesity class) of isolated and combined IFG, IGT and h-HbA1c in children (age 4-9.9 years) and adolescents (age 10-17.9 years) and association to blood pressure (BP), total, HDL and non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, ALT and insulin sensitivity/secretion indexes. RESULTS Data of 3110 participants (51% males, 33% children; 33% overweight, 39% obesity class I, 20.5% class II, 7.5% class III) were available. Unadjusted prevalence of prediabetes was 13.9% in children (2.1% IFG, 6.7% IGT, 3.9% h-HbA1c, IFG-IGT 0.06%) and 24.6% in adolescents (3.4% IFG, 9.4% IGT, 5.5% h-HbA1c, IFG-IGT 0.09%). Combined h-HBA1c was found in very few adolescents. Prevalence of prediabetes increased significantly by class of obesity up to 20.5% in children and 31.6% in adolescents. Phenotypes of prediabetes were differently but significantly associated with increased systolic and diastolic BP (by 2-7.3 and ~8 mmHg, respectively), triglycerides (by 23-66 mg/dl), and ALT levels (by 10-22 UI/L) depending on the prediabetes phenotype. CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE It is worth screening prediabetes in children aged <10 years old with obesity classes II and III and in adolescents. In those with prediabetes, monitoring of blood pressure, triglycerides and ALT levels must be encouraged.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The anti-inflammatory properties of cannabinoids have been shown. This study was conducted to assess effect of oleoylethanolamide (OEA) supplementation on glycemic status, insulin resistance (IR) and inflammatory factor in pre-diabetic individuals. METHODS This double-blind randomized clinical trial was done at Qazvin University of Medical Sciences in which 46 pre-diabetic patients were divided into two equal groups and received one 125 mg OEA capsule in the intervention group (23 subjects) and 125 mg capsule containing wheat flour in placebo group daily for 8 weeks. After collecting demographic information, at the beginning and end of the study, the questionnaires of physical activity, 24-hour food recall were completed and blood glucose (BG), plasma insulin level, IR, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. RESULTS At the beginning and end of the study, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of anthropometric indices, food intake and physical activity (P > 0.05). At the end of the study, consumption of OEA significantly reduced BS, insulin, IR, HbA1c, and CRP (P < 0.05). No significant change was observed in mentioned biochemical factors in placebo group (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Given that OEA supplementation improved the glycemic status, IR and reduced the inflammatory factor, use of this supplement can be introduced as a useful supplement to control pre-diabetes status. TRIAL REGISTRATION The protocol of this clinical trial is registered with the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials ( http://www.IRCT.IR , identifier: IRCT20141025019669N16).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To ascertain the associations of serum bone turnover markers (BTMs) levels with body mass index (BMI) in Chinese children and adolescents, and whether the influence of BMI, age, pubertal stage on BTMs varied by gender. METHODS A total of 500 students (180 controls and 320 children and adolescents with overweight/obesity) aged 9-14 years were randomly selected from the Chinese National Survey on Students Constitution and Health Cohort. Serum levels of BTMs, including bone formation marker bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP), collagen type 1 C-terminal propeptide (CICP), and bone resorption markers C-terminal telopeptide of type-I collagen (CTX) were determined by commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. The associations among BMI, age, gender, pubertal stage, and BTMs were analyzed. RESULTS Serum levels of CICP and CTX in overweight/obese children and adolescents were lower than those in controls (p<0.05). Moreover, after subgroup analysis stratified by gender, the decreased serum CICP and CTX levels in overweight/obese children and adolescents were observed only in boys (p<0.05). After adjustment of age and pubertal stage, there was a negative correlation between serum BAP and BMI in both boys and girls (p<0.05). However, the correlations between serum CICP, CTX levels, and BMI were significant in boys but not in girls. Serum BAP and CICP levels were independently correlated with BMI, age, gender, and pubertal stage, while CTX levels were independently correlated with BMI, age, and gender (p<0.05). BAP, CICP, and CTX levels showed a clear age, gender, and pubertal stage dependence with significantly higher values in boys (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our findings support the associations between serum BTMs levels and BMI in Chinese children and adolescents, and suggest age, gender, and pubertal stage differences in this relationship that warrant future studies.

Diabetes Mellitus in Prader-Willi Syndrome: Natural History during the Transition from Childhood to Adulthood in a Cohort of 39 Patients. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10225310. [PMID: 34830599 PMCID: PMC8625265 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10225310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2021] [Revised: 10/28/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) affects 20% of patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), with many cases diagnosed during the transition period. Our aim was to describe the natural history of T2DM in patients with PWS before the age of 25 years and to develop screening and preventive strategies. Thirty-nine patients followed in the French PWS Reference Center were included (median age 25.6 years [23.7; 31.7]). Twenty-one had been treated with growth hormone (GH), fifteen had not, and three had an unknown status. The median age at T2DM diagnosis was 16.8 years (11–24) and the median BMI was 39 kg/m2 [34.6; 45], with 34/35 patients living with obesity. The patients displayed frequent psychiatric (48.3% hospitalization,) and metabolic (56.4% hypertriglyceridemia,) comorbidities and a parental history of T2DM (35.7%) or overweight (53.6%) compared to the PWS general population. There was no difference in BMI and metabolic complications between the GH-treated and non-GH-treated groups at T2DM diagnosis. Patients with PWS who develop early T2DM have severe obesity, a high frequency of psychiatric and metabolic disorders, and a family history of T2DM and overweight. These results underline the need for early identification of patients at risk, prevention of obesity, and repeated blood glucose monitoring during the transition period.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus has a high prevalence worldwide, with a rapidly increasing incidence even in youth. Nutrition, dietary macronutrient composition, and in particular dietary carbohydrates play a major role in the development of type 2 diabetes. The aim of this narrative review is to discuss the current evidence on the role of dietary carbohydrates in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes. The digestibility or availability of carbohydrates and their glycemic index (and glycemic load) markedly influence the glycemic response. High consumption of dietary fiber is beneficial for management of type 2 diabetes, whereas high consumption of both glycemic starch and sugars may have a harmful effect on glucose metabolism, thereby increasing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the presence of genetic predisposition or making its glycemic control more difficult to achieve in people with established T2D. Therefore, the same dietary macronutrient may have harmful or beneficial effects on type 2 diabetes mainly depending on the subtypes consumed. Some other factors are involved in glucose metabolism, such as meal composition, gut microbiota and genetics. For this reason, the glycemic response after carbohydrate consumption is not easy to predict in the single individual. Nutrition suggested to subjects with known type 2 diabetes should be always person-centered, considering the individual features of each subject.
