Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a worldwide epidemic affecting the health of millions of people. While type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas, type 2 diabetes (T2D) results from a combination of insulin resistance and beta cell insulin secretory defect. Clear definition and diagnosis of these two types of diabetes has been increasing more and more difficult, leading to the inclusion of a new category, namely double or hybrid diabetes (DD) that demonstrates symptoms of both T1D and T2D via the accelerator hypothesis. In this review, we discuss the worldwide prevalence of DD, its main physiological characteristics, including beta-cell autoimmunity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease, the main risk factors of developing DD, mainly genetics, obesity and lifestyle choices, as well as potential treatments, such as insulin titration, metformin and behavioural modifications. Increasing awareness of DD among the general population and primary care practitioners is necessary for successfully treating this complex, hybrid disease in the future.

Park JH, Mun S, Choi DP, Lee JY, Kim HC. Association between Changes in Anthropometric Indices and in Fasting Insulin Levels among Healthy Korean Adolescents: The JS High School Study. Diabetes Metab J 2019; 43:183-191. [PMID: 30688051 PMCID: PMC6470103 DOI: 10.4093/dmj.2018.0034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2018] [Accepted: 11/08/2018] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated the association between changes in anthropometric indices and fasting insulin levels among healthy adolescents and whether the association differed by baseline obesity status. METHODS This analysis was based on data collected for the JS High School study; 884 healthy adolescents aged 15 to 16 years followed up for 24 to 30 months were included. Changes in anthropometric indices and fasting insulin levels were computed as the difference between baseline and follow-up values. Multivariate linear regression models were used to determine the association between changes in anthropometric indices and fasting insulin levels. Based on body mass index (BMI)-for-age and waist circumference (WC)-for-age percentiles, participants were classified as normal weight (<85th percentile), overweight (85th percentile to <95th percentile), or obese (≥95th percentile). RESULTS Changes in BMI, WC, waist-hip ratio, and waist-height ratio were significantly associated with changes in fasting insulin levels in both sexes (P<0.05). In analyses stratified by baseline obesity status, the association between change in BMI and change in fasting insulin was significantly stronger in overweight (males: standardized β=1.136; females: standardized β=1.262) and obese (males: standardized β=1.817; females: standardized β=2.290) participants than in those with normal weight (males: standardized β=0.957; females: standardized β=0.976) at baseline. Results were similar for changes in WC. CONCLUSION Changes in anthropometric indices were positively associated with fasting insulin level increases. Moreover, those who were overweight or obese at baseline had a higher absolute increase in fasting insulin levels per one standard deviation unit increase in anthropometric indices than adolescents with normal weight.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review will outline the screening, diagnosis and management of cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD). It will also discuss advances in the detection of early glucose abnormalities, their clinical significance and the emerging role for early insulin therapy. RECENT FINDINGS Before the onset of diabetes (as currently defined), patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) display glucose abnormalities, detectable either by 30-minutely sampled oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT), or by continuous ambulatory interstitial glucose monitoring (CGM). These early glucose abnormalities are associated with the presence of glucose in airway fluid, potentially promoting the growth of airway pathogens and contributing to the progression of respiratory disease. Progressive insulin deficiency underlies these glucose abnormalities, and insulin deficiency also causes catabolism. Pilot studies of once-daily insulin therapy in the early stages of insulin deficiency show improved lung function and weight gain (important predictors of survival in CF). SUMMARY Early stages of insulin deficiency may be contributing to catabolism and deteriorating lung function in CF. It is plausible that early insulin therapy may prevent this deterioration, a view supported by pilot studies. Randomized controlled trials of early insulin therapy will now determine whether insulin therapy should be commenced earlier than current practice in CF.

Abstract
CONTENT Orchestrating a seamless transition from pediatric to adult care can be a daunting task in caring for youth with diabetes mellitus. This clinical review focuses on physical and psychosocial aspects affecting the care of adolescents and young adults with diabetes, evaluates how these aspects can be barriers in the process of transitioning these patients to adult diabetes care, and provides clinical approaches to optimizing the transition process in order to improve diabetes care and outcomes. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION AND SYNTHESIS A PubMed search identified articles related to transition to adult diabetes care and physical and psychosocial assessment of adolescents with diabetes. An Internet search for transition of diabetes care identified online transition resources. The synthesis relied on the cumulative experience of the authors. We identify barriers to successful transition and provide a checklist for streamlining the process. CONCLUSIONS Key points in the transition to adult diabetes care include: 1) starting the process at least 1 year before the anticipated transition; 2) assessing individual patients' readiness and preparedness for adult care; 3) providing guidance and education to the patient and family; 4) utilizing transition guides and resources; and 5) maintaining open lines of communication between the pediatric and adult providers. No current single approach is effective for all patients. Challenges remain in successful transition to avoid short- and long-term complications of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
We studied the genetic and clinical features of diabetic subjects in a 5-generation Michigan-Kentucky pedigree ascertained through a proband with pancreatic agenesis and homozygous for the IPF1 mutation Pro63fsx60. Diabetic and nondiabetic family members were genotyped and phenotyped. We also carried out genetic studies to determine the history of the IPF1 mutation in the Michigan-Kentucky family and a Virginia family with the same mutation. We identified 110 individuals; 34 are currently being treated for diabetes and 10 of these are Pro63fsX60 carriers (ie, MODY4). Subjects with MODY as well as those with type 2 diabetes are characterized by obesity and hyperinsulinemia. Genetic studies suggest that the IPF1 mutation was inherited from an ancestor common to both the Michigan-Kentucky and Virginia families. MODY4 and type 2 diabetes in the Michigan-Kentucky pedigree are associated with obesity and hyperinsulinemia. Obesity and hyperinsulinemia have been observed occasionally in other subtypes of MODY, which suggests that hyperinsulinemia may be a general phenomenon when obesity occurs in MODY subjects. Hypoinsulinemia in nonobese MODY subjects seems to be caused by a functional defect in the beta cell. Genetic testing should be considered in multigenerational obese diabetic subjects, particularly when such families contain young diabetic members.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aims were to examine the relationship between adiposity and surrogate indices of pancreatic beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity obtained from an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in overweight adolescents and determine which factors best predict impaired glucose metabolism (IGM). METHODS In a sample of adolescents (n=209) severity of overweight was determined by relative body mass index (RBMI). Insulin sensitivity (QUICKI, CISI) and beta-cell function (Fasting insulin: FI; Insulinogenic Index: deltaI30/deltaG30). RESULTS IGM was present in 26.8% (n=56), of which five had type 2 diabetes (T2DM). IGM prevalence was similar among RBMI strata. Once RBMI reached 150%, pronounced deterioration in CISI occurred (approximately 55%) (P<0.0001) while less dramatic reductions were seen in QUICKI (P<0.05), with fasting blood glucose (FBG) and beta-cell indices remaining stable. Compared to those with normal glucose tolerance, the IGM group exhibited higher beta-cell activity (FI, P<0.0001; deltaI30/deltaG30, P=0.004) with reduced insulin sensitivity (CISI, P<0.0001; QUICKI, P<0.0002). CISI was the single predictor of IGM (P<0.0001). Low insulin sensitivity increased adolescents' chance for IGM (CISI: OR=6.49, 95%CI=2.63, 16.05, P<0.0001; QUICKI: OR=3.16, 95%CI=1.61, 6.05, P=0.0006) as did beta-cell deterioration (deltaI30/delta G30: OR=3.18, 95%CI=1.33, 7.59, P=0.0069). Normal FBG occurred in 37.5% of youth with IGM. CONCLUSION The prevalence of IGM escalates in overweight adolescents, even at lower levels of overweight, and is associated with pronounced deterioration of insulin sensitivity. Current screening recommendations for FBG underestimate the prevalence of IGM in overweight adolescents thus limiting the opportunity for earlier intervention to prevent progression to diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS To obtain an understanding of the etiology of proportional dwarfism and endocrinopathies of Bloom's syndrome BS. METHODS Admission for 5-day periods to an NIH-supported Clinical Research Center of a randomly selected population of persons with BS (n = 11; mean age 11.5 years, range 9 months to 28.5 years) for clinical and genetic history-taking, physical examination, and endocrinological, gastroenterological and immunological testing. RESULTS An oral glucose tolerance test was performed in all participants. Impaired glucose tolerance was present in 4 individuals, insulin resistance was observed in 6 individuals, and previously unrecognized diabetes was found in 1. Growth hormone provocation was normal in the 10 individuals tested. Overnight frequent GH sampling was suggestive of neurosecretory dysfunction in 3. Compensated hypothyroidism was found in 2 participants. Lipid profile abnormalities were present in 5 of 10 individuals. Low immunoglobulin concentrations (IgG and/or IgM) were seen in all tested. Intestinal absorption by D-xylose and/or fecal fat measurement was normal in all individuals tested as well. CONCLUSION Altered carbohydrate metabolism is very common in BS, and is present from childhood. BS dwarfism is not related to growth hormone deficiency or malabsorption. The basis for the growth restriction in BS remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
Glucose tolerance declines with maturation and aging in several species, but the time of onset and extent of changes in insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion and their contribution to changes in glucose tolerance are unclear. We therefore determined the effect of maturation on glucose tolerance, insulin secretion, and insulin sensitivity in a longitudinal study of male and female sheep from preweaning to adulthood, and whether these measures were related across age. Glucose tolerance was assessed by intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT, 0.25 g glucose/kg), insulin secretion as the integrated insulin concentration during IVGTT, and insulin sensitivity by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp (2 mU insulin.kg(-1).min(-1)). Glucose tolerance, relative insulin secretion, and insulin sensitivity each decreased with age (P < 0.001). The disposition index, the product of insulin sensitivity, and various measures of insulin secretion during fasting or IVGTT also decreased with age (P < 0.001). Glucose tolerance in young adult sheep was independently predicted by insulin sensitivity (P = 0.012) and by insulin secretion relative to integrated glucose during IVGTT (P = 0.005). Relative insulin secretion before weaning was correlated positively with that in the adult (P = 0.023), whereas glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and disposition indexes in the adult did not correlate with those at earlier ages. We conclude that glucose tolerance declines between the first month of life and early adulthood in the sheep, reflecting decreasing insulin sensitivity and absence of compensatory insulin secretion. Nevertheless, the capacity for insulin secretion in the adult reflects that early in life, suggesting that it is determined genetically or by persistent influences of the perinatal environment.

Abstract
The emerging public health problem of type 2 diabetes in youth reflects increasing rates of childhood obesity. As in adults, type 2 diabetes in children is part of the insulin resistance syndrome that includes hypertension, dyslipidemia and other atherosclerosis risk factors, and hyperandrogenism seen as premature adrenarche and polycystic ovary syndrome. Studies in children document risk factors for type 2 diabetes and associated cardiovascular risk factors, including obesity, family history, diabetic gestation, and underweight or overweight for gestational age. Genetically determined insulin resistance, or limited beta-cell reserve, has been demonstrated in high risk individuals. This genetic background, considered advantageous in a feast and famine existence (the thrifty genotype), is rendered detrimental with abundant food and physical inactivity, a lifestyle demonstrated to be typical of families of children with type 2 diabetes. Case finding in high risk individuals who are asymptomatic may be an appropriate response to the public health challenge of type 2 diabetes in children, because risk factors for cardiovascular disease are already present at the time of diagnosis. Treatment is dictated by the degree of metabolic derangement and symptoms. The only data on the use of oral hypoglycemic agents in children has been with metformin. Prevention efforts will require community and government involvement to reduce obesity and increase physical activity in the child, as well as adult, population.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus was considered an exclusive disease of adulthood until the late 1970s, when reports of an increased prevalence in the pediatric age group emerged in the literature. The concerning upswing in the rate of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus in children and adolescents has continued, parallel to the increasing rates of obesity. The disease is not specific to the U.S.; it has proven to be a global problem. The current information on type 2 diabetes mellitus in children and adolescents is mostly extrapolated from studies in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, due to the paucity of studies conducted in youth. Obesity, family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, minority ethnicity and race, polycystic ovary syndrome, maternal diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance during gestation, and acanthosis nigricans are the major risk factors and markers of youth-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus. The pathophysiology, which involves both an insulin secretion defect and resistance to insulin, needs further clarification in pediatric studies. Current management approaches involve lifestyle modification (nutritional and exercise) along with pharmacologic agents, such as insulin and oral antihyperglycemic medications, as indicated. A recent study on the use of metformin in childhood-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus demonstrated the drug to be effective and to have a good safety profile in this population. However, the outcomes of ongoing studies and future studies focusing on type 2 diabetes mellitus in the pediatric age group will be crucial in terms of fine-tuning management plans and setting up appropriate prevention strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES 1) To determine the extent of short stature in patients with Fanconi anemia (FA); 2) to determine the extent and nature of endocrinopathy in FA; 3) to assess the impact on height of any endocrinopathies in these patients; and 4) to study the correlation, if any, between height, endocrinopathy, and FA complementation group. STUDY DESIGN Fifty-four patients with FA, 30 males and 24 females from 47 unrelated families, were prospectively evaluated in a Pediatric Clinical Research Center. The patients ranged in age from 0.1-31.9 years, with the mean age at assessment 8.6 years. RESULTS Endocrine abnormalities were found in 44 of the 54 FA patients tested (81%), including short stature, growth hormone (GH) insufficiency, hypothyroidism, glucose intolerance, hyperinsulinism, and/or overt diabetes mellitus. Twenty-one of 48 (44%) participants had a subnormal response to GH stimulation; 19 of 53 (36%) had overt or compensated hypothyroidism, while 8 of 40 participants had reduced thyroid-hormone binding. Two patients were diabetic at the time of study; impaired glucose tolerance was found in 8 of 40 patients (25%), but most surprisingly, hyperinsulinemia was present in 28 of 39 (72%) participants tested. Significantly, spontaneous overnight GH secretion was abnormal in all patients tested (n = 13). In addition, participants demonstrated a tendency toward primary hypothyroidism with serum tetraiodothyronine levels at the lower range of normal, while also having thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone) levels at the high end of normal. Sixteen patients were assigned to FA complementation group A, (FA-A), 12 to FA-C, and 5 to FA-G; 10 of the 12 participants in FA-C were homozygous for a mutation in the intron-4 donor splice site of the FANCC gene. Patients in groups FA-A and FA-G were relatively taller than the group as a whole (but still below the mean for the general population), whereas those in FA-C had a significantly reduced height for age. GH response to stimulation testing was most consistently normal in participants from FA-G, but this did not reach statistical significance. The tendency toward hypothyroidism was more pronounced in participants belonging to complementation groups FA-C and FA-G, whereas insulin resistance was most evident in patients in FA-G, and least evident in those in FA-C. Short stature was a very common finding among the patients with a mean height >2 standard deviations below the reference mean (standard deviation score: -2.35 +/- 0.28). Patients with subnormal GH response and those with overt or compensated hypothyroidism were shorter than the group with no endocrinopathies. The heights of those participants with glucose or insulin abnormalities were less severely affected than those of normoglycemic, normoinsulinemic participants, although all were significantly below the normal mean. The mean height standard deviation score of patients with entirely normal endocrine function was also >2 standard deviations below the normal mean, demonstrating that short stature is an inherent feature of FA. CONCLUSION Endocrinopathies are a common feature of FA, primarily manifesting as glucose/insulin abnormalities, GH insufficiency, and hypothyroidism. Although short stature is a well-recognized feature of FA, 23 patients (43%) were within 2 standard deviations, and 5 of these (9% of the total) were actually above the mean for height for the general population. Those patients with endocrine dysfunction are more likely to have short stature. These data indicate that short stature is an integral feature of FA, but that superimposed endocrinopathies further impact on growth. The demonstration of abnormal endogenous GH secretion may demonstrate an underlying hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction that results in poor growth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between first-phase (1 minute + 3 minutes) insulin production during the intravenous glucose tolerance test (IV-GTT) and risk factors for developing type 1 diabetes. STUDY DESIGN Relatives of persons with type 1 diabetes (n = 59,600) were screened for islet cell antibodies (ICAs). Subjects who had positive screening results underwent IV-GTT (> or =2 times), repeat ICA screening, insulin autoantibody (IAA) screening twice, and an oral glucose tolerance test. RESULTS Of the 59,600 subjects in the study, 2199 (3.69%) had positive findings on initial ICA test. IV-GTTs were performed in 1622 subjects, with children <8 years having the lowest first-phase insulin release (FPIR) and subjects 8 to 20 years of age having the highest FPIR. The FPIR was lower for subjects with a confirmed positive ICA test result or a positive IAA test result, subjects with higher titers of ICA or IAA, and subjects who had an abnormal (impaired or diabetic) oral glucose tolerance test result. CONCLUSION FPIR in the IV-GTT correlates strongly with risk factors for development of type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
The clinical presentation of type 1 diabetes usually involves symptoms such as polyuria and polydipsia. However, investigators in the Diabetes Prevention Trial of Type 1 Diabetes (DPT-1) have detected a group of subjects with type 1 diabetes who have a different phenotype. These subjects are asymptomatic, have normal (<6.1 mmol/l) (group A) or impaired (6.1- <7.0 mmol/l) (group B) fasting glucose, but have 2-h glucose values >11.1 mmol/l on their oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT). Of the 585 OGTTs performed on islet cell antibody (ICA)-positive relatives with insulin autoantibodies (IAA) or low first-phase insulin response (FPIR), normal glucose tolerance (NGT) was found in 427 subjects; impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) was found in 87 subjects, and diabetes was found by 2-h OGTT criteria alone in 61 subjects. Despite marked differences in 2-h glucose values (NGT 5.8 +/- 1.1 mmol/l, IGT 8.9 +/- 0.9 mmol/l, and group A 13.5 +/- 2.5 mmol/l), there were no significant differences in fasting glucose values among NGT (4.8 +/- 0.5 mmol/l), IGT (5.03 +/- 0.5 mmol/l), and group A (4.99 +/- 0.7 mmol/l) categories. Mean FPIR was higher in subjects with NGT compared with subjects with IGT and subjects diagnosed by 2-h OGTT criteria alone. However, the correlation between FPIR and 2-h glucose value was low (r2 = 0.114). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that additional independent variables provide smaller contributions to the 2-h glucose value. In conclusion, there are asymptomatic type 1 diabetic subjects whose diabetes was diagnosed by the 2-h criteria on OGTT alone. Despite the importance of beta-cell dysfunction in the pathogenesis of type I diabetes, factors other than impaired FPIR must also contribute to postprandial glucose tolerance in these subjects.

Abstract
The prevalence of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is increasing in Native American and African-American youth, with females more frequently affected than males. This increase is related to increasing rates of obesity and to the greater demand for insulin at adolescence. This review examines the epidemiologic data about NIDDM in minority youth and addresses questions about the type of diabetes minority youth have, the relative contributions of environment and genetics to their diabetes, and whether prevention or control is possible. The heterogeneity of NIDDM in the minority youth population includes: typical NIDDM; atypical diabetes mellitus (ADM), which has been described in a substantial number of African-American youngsters; and a small proportion with a range of defects in the pathway of insulin action. Clinical and experimental evidence that insulin resistance or insulin deficiency is the primary defect in NIDDM are reviewed, as is evidence that fetal undernutrition may be a contributing factor. The numerous reports of linkages, associations, and mutations or polymorphisms in candidate genes account for a very small proportion of non-type 1 diabetes. Environmental and genetic contributors to obesity are also important. Research issues relating to the questions discussed include the need for data comparing various populations and assessing risk factors associated with the epidemic of NIDDM and obesity, costs to the health system and attendant personal and societal costs, clarification of the types of NIDDM in minority populations that will permit appropriate therapy and counseling, and extensive studies of environmental and genetic factors. Genetic studies include a genome wide search and continued analysis for candidate genes for both NIDDM and obesity. Environmental factors for study include the role of fetal and perinatal nutrition and drug exposure. Finally, collaborative multicenter studies are needed of prevention or control of obesity and NIDDM.

Abstract
Peripheral insulin sensitivity decreases after puberty in both humans and rodents and can be explained mostly by a reduction in insulin-mediated glycogen synthesis. We tested the hypothesis that the increase in postpubertal fat mass (FM), reflecting an alternative energy store, regulates a decrease in the capacity to store muscle glycogen. We studied Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 21) before puberty (Pre) or after puberty (at 4 mo of age) in groups that were either ad libitum fed (Post) or moderately caloric restricted (CR). FM (by 3H2O isotope dilution technique) was decreased by >40% in CR compared with Post. Glucose uptake (Rd, by 18 mU x kg(-1) x min(-1) hyperinsulinemic clamp) was 63 +/- 8 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1) in Pre and decreased to 39 +/- 2 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1) in Post (P < 0.001). However, it increased in CR to 53 +/- 2 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1) (P < 0.001 vs. Post). This increase in Rd was mainly accounted for by an increase in glycogen synthesis (Rd glycolysis determined by the rate of conversion of 3H-labeled glucose to 3H2O) from 23 +/- 2 in Post to 33 +/- 2 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1) in CR (P < 0.001; 38 +/- 7 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1) in Pre). Correction of glycogen synthesis in CR to near-prepubertal levels was further supported by directly assayed muscle glycogen content after insulin stimulation that was 45% higher and by a 35% enhanced accumulation of [3H]glucose into glycogen. No changes in the enzyme kinetics of glycogen synthase or phosphorylase were observed. An additional group of 2-mo-old postpubertal ad libitum-fed rats was matched with CR for lean body mass but had more FM. This group demonstrated 25% lower rates of insulin-mediated glycogen synthesis compared with CR, further supporting the notion that a moderate reduction of FM prevents the decline in insulin responsiveness and glycogen synthesis occurring after puberty. These data suggest a cause-effect relationship between the increased deposition of fat and the reduced ability to store glucose in skeletal muscle after puberty.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To provide an up-to-date review of studies that have examined the physiological effects of insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on ovarian growth, maturation, and steroid synthesis, their physiological role in puberty, and their pathophysiological role in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). To deduce from these data a hypothesis, explaining the pathogenetic connections between puberty and PCOS. DATA IDENTIFICATION The most relevant studies related to this topic have been identified through a computerized bibliographic search (MEDLINE) and through manual scanning of what has been published during recent years in the most important journals in the field of reproductive endocrinology. RESULTS Insulin and IGF-I stimulate ovarian growth and potentiate the actions of gonadotropins on ovarian steroid synthesis. Insulin also augments the bioactive concentrations of IGF-I and androgens through regulation of the synthesis of their respective binding proteins insulin-like growth factor-1 binding protein (IGFBP-1) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) in the liver. Insulin and IGF-I might also be able to increase the adrenal sensitivity to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Insulin resistance with compensating hyperinsulinism is a common feature of PCOS. It is also a normal phenomenon during puberty. Polycystic ovarian syndrome often develops during puberty. Ultrasonographic investigations suggest that it is much more common during adolescence than generally assumed. Actually, there is a striking resemblance between the endocrine characteristics of puberty and some forms of PCOS. Both conditions are characterized by insulin resistance, hyperpulsatile gonadotropin secretion, hyperactive ovarian and adrenal androgen synthesis, and decreased levels of IGFBP-1 and SHBG. CONCLUSION We propose the progressively increasing insulin levels and IGF-I activity during puberty as inducing factors in the development of PCOS in susceptible subjects.

Abstract
The increase in insulin requirement at the onset of adolescence is compensated by an increase of insulin secretion. This metabolic pattern persists during adolescence but is no longer present in adults. It is supposed to depend on a decrease of insulin sensitivity of uncertain origin. We compared the metabolic pattern of late adolescent girls (13-16 year old) with young women (21-30 year old) with similar body mass indexes, testing subjects with iv glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) (glucose 0.33 g/kg) and arginine test (ATT) (arginine 30 g in 30 min). In late adolescent vs adult women we observed: i) IVTT: similar k of glucose tolerance and higher insulin and C-peptide responses; ii) ATT: unmodified plasma glucose, insulin and glucagon values, higher GH plasma levels; iii) in adolescent girls GH and CPR incremental areas significantly correlated (r = 0.755, p less than 0.05). These data show that: i) the adolescent pattern of glucose metabolism persists after completion of sexual development and, ii) there is a positive correlation between GH response to arginine and beta-cell response to glucose. So GH should play a role in the impairment of glucose metabolism during adolescence.

Abstract
This review summarized aspects of the widening scope, phenotypic expression, natural history, recognition, pathogeneses, and heterogenous nature of maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), an autosomal dominant inherited subtype of NIDDM, which can be recognized at a young age. There are differences in metabolic, hormonal, and vascular abnormalities in different ethnic groups and even among Caucasian pedigrees. In MODY patients with low insulin responses, there is a delayed and decreased insulin and C-peptide secretory response to glucose from childhood or adolescence, even before glucose intolerance appears; it may represent the basic genetic defect. The nondiabetic siblings have had normal insulin responses for decades. The fasting hyperglycemia of some MODY has been treated successfully with sulfonylureas for more than 30 years. In a few, after years or decades of diabetes, the insulin and C-peptide responses to glucose are so low that they may resemble those of early Type I diabetes. The rate of progression of the insulin secretory defect over time does distinguish between these two types of diabetes. In contrast are patients from families who have very high insulin responses to glucose despite glucose intolerance and fasting hyperglycemia similar to those seen in patients with low insulin responses. In many of these patients, there is in vivo and in vitro evidence of insulin resistance. Whatever its mechanism, the compensatory insulin responses to nutrients must be insufficient to maintain normal carbohydrate tolerance. This suggests that diabetes occurs only in those patients who have an additional islet cell defect, i.e., insufficient beta cell reserve and secretory capacity. In a few MODY pedigrees with high insulin responses to glucose and lack of evidence of insulin resistance, an insulin is secreted which is a structurally abnormal, mutant insulin molecule that is biologically ineffective. No associations have been found between specific HLA antigens and MODY in Caucasian, black, and Asian pedigrees. Linkage studies of the insulin gene, the insulin receptor gene, the erythrocyte/Hep G2 glucose transporter locus, and the apolipoprotein B locus have shown no association with MODY. Vascular disease may be as prevalent as in conventional NIDDM. Because of autosomal dominant transmission and penetrance at a young age, MODY is a good model for further investigations of etiologic and pathogenetic factors in NIDDM, including the use of genetic linkage strategies to identify diabetogenic genes.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested that insulin action is reduced during puberty in normal children. To determine whether such resistance leads to excessive insulin secretion, we used the hyperglycemic clamp technique to produce a standard hyperglycemic stimulus (125 mg/dl above fasting levels for 120 minutes) in 9 preadolescent and 14 adolescent healthy children and in 14 normal adults. Fasting plasma insulin and C-peptide concentrations were higher in adolescents than in preadolescents and adults (p less than or equal to 0.02). Despite identical glucose increments during the glucose clamp procedure, both first- and second-phase plasma insulin and C-peptide responses were also markedly greater in adolescents than in preadolescents or adults (p less than 0.01 vs. other groups). Despite sharply increased insulin responses in adolescents, the amount of exogenous glucose required to maintain hyperglycemia was similar in all three groups. Insulin responses in the children were directly correlated with fasting plasma levels of insulin-like growth factor I (r = 0.60 to 0.70, p less than 0.01). We conclude that glucose-stimulated insulin secretion is normally increased during puberty, a response that may compensate for puberty-induced defects in insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus usually presents in childhood. Since it i is generally accepted that persisting metabolic derangements contribute to the development of micro- and macrovascular complications, a primary aim of the management of children with diabetes is to achieve near normalization of metabolism. In adults continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) has been used to optimize control. Despite a reluctance amongst paediatricians to use CSII in children, several studies with pumps have been performed in adolescents. The results of these studies are contradictory with respect to acceptability and achieved metabolic control. Thus, some authors report a near normalization of blood glucose concentrations, whereas others only find a temporary improvement. Patient selection seems to account for many of these differences. This suggests that methods ought to be developed to predict success or failure of CSII in a particular adolescent patient. For diabetic toddlers with their age-specific problems CSII may be a therapy of choice. So far, good acceptability and improved metabolic control are reported in this group. More studies are needed to confirm this. It is important that the diabetic clinic as well as the patient is organized to high standard before starting CSII. Home blood glucose measurements, education, and a 24-h telephone service are essential factors for the management of diabetic children, treated conventionally or with CSII.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The magnitude of the disturbance of metabolic control in diabetes mellitus in very young children has been recognised, but seldom studied. Limitations to studies are set by the difficulty of obtaining control data and until recently the lack of alternative therapies. Recently "mini" pumps for continuous subcutaneous insulin delivery have become available and may offer an alternative therapeutic possibility. The present investigation has been undertaken to collect overnight metabolic data of very young diabetic children (less than 6 years) controlled by standard injection therapy. During one admission to hospital frequent blood samples were collected for free insulin, glucose, alanine, lactate, glycerol and 3-hydroxybutyrate determinations. In all children (n = 9) the profiles showed a steep rise in glucose from 04.30 h (6.2 +/- 1.3 mmol/l) to 09.30 h (17.8 +/- 2.4 mmol/l) (the so-called "dawn-phenomenon"). The nature of the changes in the intermediary metabolites suggested that rise in blood glucose was caused by insufficient insulin. We have attempted to explore the time relationship between the overnight drop in free insulin levels and the rises in blood glucose by a distribution-free statistical analysis, correlating successive changes in time between the two profiles. The analysis suggested a delay of 2-6 h between free insulin levels and their effects. IN CONCLUSION a clear "dawn phenomenon" is seen in very young diabetic children, and contributes to their poor glycaemic control. More stable and higher insulin concentrations in the early morning, obtained perhaps by continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, might ameliorate the overall glycaemic control in the very young diabetic child.

Abstract
Blood glucose and serum immunoreactive insulin levels were measured following an oral glucose load in 20 unrelated children with multiple transfused thalassaemia. Results suggest that even though overt diabetes and glucose intolerance are uncommon before the age of 13 years, the presence of insulin resistance is evident, especially in those who have been splenectomized.

Abstract
In 10 healthy men, we have compared the respective effects of an intravenous injection of glucagon (1 mg) and an oral glucose load (75 G) in eliciting the release of C-peptide and insulin from the pancreas. Serum C-peptide and insulin concentrations increased respectively to median values of 190% and 500% at 6 minutes after glucagon injection, and 344% and 794% at 30 minutes and 268% and 278% at 60 minutes following glucose ingestion. The oral glucose load was as effective as glucagon injection in testing beta cell function and was free from the unpleasant side effects (nausea, vomiting, syncope) commonly associated with glucagon. We conclude that oral glucose loading is probably the test of choice to elicit C-peptide release when screening populations of normal subjects for adequacy of beta cell function.

Abstract
The daily excretion of C-peptide in the urine was measured in 105 healthy infants and children from birth to 14 years of age. For technical reasons no studies were performed from 1-3 years of age. The excretion of C-peptide showed a close positive correlation with age and weight. The relationship with weight was already apparent in the 1st days of life. The C-peptide/weight and the C-peptide/creatinine ratios were constant throughout most of childhood with the exception of the age range of 1 month-1 year when the C-peptide/creatinine was significantly higher. In obese children the C-peptide/weight and C-peptide/creatinine ratios were similar to those found in children with normal weight. In growth hormone deficiency these ratios were low and increased during the 1st week of growth hormone therapy. It is concluded that urinary C-peptide is a reliable indicator of integrated insulin production and gives new information about insulin secretion in various conditions.

Abstract
Thirty-seven children and youths were ascertained because of stress hyperglycemia (3), asymptomatic glucosuria (21), or symptoms suggestive of hypoglycemia (13); 17 of them met the National Diabetes Data Group criteria for impaired glucose tolerance. Three ascertained because of glucosuria developed symptomatic insulin-dependent diabetes over the subsequent 14 months. They had more severe hyperglycemia and/or deficient insulin responses compared to those with normal tests or those with IGT who did not develop IDD. Insulin responses relative to glycemia were significantly age related and did not differ between the normal and IGT groups (excluding the three who developed IDD). The two-hour oral glucose tolerance test may be of value in young persons who have had stress hyperglycemia or asymptomatic glucosuria to rule out abnormality in a standardized manner or to detect preclinical IDD. Patients with autonomic symptoms may have transitory IGT as a concomitant manifestation of life stress; glucose tolerance testing of them appears unwarranted in the absence of other compelling symptoms or a family history of IDD.

Abstract
RBC insulin binding was examined in Reye's survivors and families of affected patients to determine whether their previously reported hyperinsulinemic responses to oral glucose are accompanied by alterations in insulin binding and could contribute to the hypercatabolism seen in this disorder. The mean (125I)-insulin binding to 3 X 10(9) RBC's was 5.7 +/- SEM 0.4 percent in survivors compared to 6.6 +/- 0.3 in siblings (p less than .05) and 6.6 +/- 0.4 in control children (p = .05). Sex and maturity differences were found with higher binding values in men than women as well as higher values in men than boys. Receptor numbers in survivors were comparable to control values. Average affinities varied widely. Plasma insulin levels were low in the fathers (9 +/- SEM 1.4 uU/ml compared to 18.3 +/- 1.8 for control men and 20 +/- 4.5 for mothers of affected patients). The acute syndrome is accompanied by hypercatabolism in the presence of increased plasma insulin levels and familial clustering of cases and recurrences are known to occur. Reduction in insulin binding may play a role in the acute disease if such is shared by more traditionally hormone-responsive cells.

Abstract
Plasma insulin responses and insulin resistance were determined in 75 subjects, defined as having a normal, borderline abnormal, or abnormal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Although considerable heterogeneity of insulin response existed, most patients with abnormal OGTT's had insulin responses greater than normal; none had insulin responses less than normal. The degree of insulin resistance also varied, but most patients with abnormal OGTT's were also abnormally insulin resistant A significant correlation (r=0.64, p+/-0.001) existed between insulin response and the degree of insulin resistance. However, when both variables were taken into consideration, the entire population could be divided into two groups. One group was characterized by both normal insulin responsiveness and sensitivity, the other by increased insulin response, associated with greater insulin resistance. Most patients with abnormal OGTT's fell into the latter group, but some had glucose intolerance without either an exaggerated insulin response or insulin resistance. These results suggest that true heterogeneity exists in patients with abnormal OGTT's.

Abstract
In a study of risk factors for cardiovascular disease in 2388 school children aged 9--12 years carried out in Westland, Holland, serum insulin levels at one hour after an oral challenge of 50 g glucose were measured in a systematically selected subsample of 715 children. The distribution and associations of serum insulin in these children are described. The mean insulin values were 24.6 muU/ml for boys and 32.0 muU/ml for girls. The difference between these means was statistically significant and remained so even taking measures of adiposity into account. Insulin values were positively related to levels of plasma sugar and systolic blood pressure in both sexes.
