ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Although type 1 diabetes (T1D) remains the most frequent form of diabetes in individuals aged less than 20 years at onset, other forms of diabetes are being increasingly recognized. OBJECTIVES: To describe the population of children with other forms of diabetes (non-type 1) included in the multinational SWEET (Better control in Pediatric and Adolescent diabeteS: Working to crEate CEnTers of Reference) database for children with diabetes. METHODS: Cases entered in the SWEET database are identified by their physician as T1D, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and other types of diabetes according to the ISPAD classification. Etiologic subgroups are provided for other types of diabetes. Descriptive analyses were tabulated for age at onset, gender, daily insulin doses, and hemoglobin A1c (A1C) for each type and subtype of diabetes and when possible, values were compared. RESULTS: Of the 27 104 patients included in this report, 95.5% have T1D, 1.3% T2D, and 3.2% other forms of diabetes. The two most frequent etiologies for other forms of diabetes were maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) (n = 351) and cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) (n = 193). The cause was unknown or unreported in 10% of other forms of diabetes. Compared with T1D, children with T2D and CFRD were diagnosed at an older age, took less insulin and had lower A1C (all P < .0001). CONCLUSION: In centers included in SWEET, forms of diabetes other than type 1 remain rare and at times difficult to characterize. Sharing clinical information and outcome between SWEET centers on those rare forms of diabetes has the potential to improve management and outcome.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Intensified insulin delivery using multiple daily injections (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is recommended in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) to achieve good metabolic control. OBJECTIVE: To examine the frequency of pump usage in T1D children treated in SWEET (Better control in Paediatric and Adolescent diabeteS: Working to crEate CEnTers of Reference) centers and to compare metabolic control between patients treated with CSII vs MDI. METHODS: This study included 16 570 T1D children participating in the SWEET prospective, multicenter, standardized diabetes patient registry. Datasets were aggregated over the most recent year of treatment for each patient. Data were collected until March 2016. To assess the organization of pump therapy a survey was carried out. RESULTS: Overall, 44.4% of T1D children were treated with CSII. The proportion of patients with pump usage varied between centers and decreased with increasing age compared with children treated with MDI. In a logistic regression analysis adjusting for age, gender and diabetes duration, the use of pump was associated with both: center size [odd ratio 1.51 (1.47-1.55), P < .0001) and the diabetes-related expenditure per capita [odd ratio 1.55 (1.49-1.61), P < .0001]. Linear regression analysis, adjusted for age, gender, and diabetes duration showed that both HbA1c and daily insulin dose (U/kg/d) remained decreased in children treated with CSII compared to MDI (P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS: Insulin pump therapy is offered by most Sweet centers. The differences between centers affect the frequency of use of modern technology. Despite the heterogeneity of centers, T1D children achieve relatively good metabolic control, especially those treated with insulin pumps and those of younger age.
