Emerging data suggests weight loss with GLP-1 RA may not be attributed solely to fat loss, but also potential skeletal muscle mass loss, a potentially adverse metabolic outcome. Our study aimed to analyze body composition in youth with T2D who started GLP-1 RA therapy. Methods: We used InBody 270 scans to measure skeletal muscle mass (SMM, kg), skeletal muscle mass percentage (SMM%, %), body fat mass (BFM, kg), and body fat mass percentage (BFM%, %) pre (n=23) and 6-months post (n=14) initiation of GLP-1 RA medication. Paired t-tests were used to assess changes where complete pairs existed (n=14). Results: At baseline, youth with T2D were 47.8% Black/African American, 43.5% white and 95.7% non-Hispanic, had a mean (SD) age of 17. 0 (3.3) years and BMI of 40.1 (7.5) kg/m2. Over 6 months HbA1c improved significantly, 7.3 (1.5) to 6.7 (1.1)%, p=0.02 and BMI z-score increased slightly 2.57 (0.57) to 2.74 (0.71), p=0.86. There was no significant loss of SMM (change of -0.12(1.90), p=0.81), SMM% (change of +0.23 (1.27), p=0.52), but also no significant changes in BFM (change of -0.89 (5.07), p=0.52) or BFM% (change of -0.41(2.10), p=0.48). Interestingly, when n=3 youth on tirzepatide were compared to n=11 on dulaglutide, those on tirzepatide lost BFM (change of -3.40 (2.84)) and BFM% (change of -1.13 (1.03)), while maintaining SMM% (change of +0.57 (1.13)) as compared to youth on dulaglutide who gained BFM (change of +0.98 (3.39)) and BFM% (change of +0.25 (1.98)) and experienced mild SMM% loss (change of -0.10 (1.17)). Conclusion: Preliminary analyses of 6-month GLP-1 RA use in youth with T2D shows no significant changes in body composition. Initial analysis may suggest beneficial effects of tirzepatide though sample size is limited. Ongoing data collection and 12-month study data will evaluate the influence of behavioral (exercise and eating) habits and metabolic markers (lipids, liver enzymes). Disclosure L.R.

Whether teplizumab treatment, which delays progression to Stage 3 T1D, affects pancreas size is not known. Methods: We performed longitudinal MRI using a standardized protocol at two sites (27 MRIs total) in ten individuals with Stage 2 T1D (mean age 16, range 9 - 64, 30% female) treated with teplizumab. Pancreas volume was quantified by a blinded reader and divided by body weight to yield pancreas volume index (PVI). Results: Individuals treated with teplizumab displayed a wide range of baseline PVI at infusion (0.37 ml/kg to 1.68 ml/kg). The mean baseline PVI was 0.85 ml/kg, similar to established PVI in Stage 1 and 2 T1D (PMID: 38151474). PVI transiently increased in individuals treated with teplizumab at ~six months post-infusion. In contrast, PVI was stable in individuals with Stage 1 or Stage 2 T1D not treated with Teplizumab (PMID: 38151474) who do not progress to Stage 3. Conclusion: These data suggest that teplizumab induces a transient increase in pancreas size six months post infusion which returns to baseline one year post infusion.

Little is known about transfer in young adults with type 2 diabetes (YT2D). We hypothesized that YT2D would have lower rates of successful transfer than young adults with type 1 diabetes (YT1D). Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of transition-age patients (≥18 years old) with type 1 (N=636) or type 2 (N=305) diabetes treated over five years at a pediatric center. Groups were compared using Mann Whitney U tests or chi-square tests. Logistic regressions adjusted for covariates, used diabetes type as the predictor, and used successful transfer, loss to follow-up, and type of adult provider as outcomes. Successful transfer was defined as transfer <6 months after pediatric care; loss to follow-up was defined as no visit within 6 months and no scheduled appointment. Results: Compared to YT1D, YT2D were more often publicly insured (83.6% vs 41.7%), had lower HbA1c (6.4% vs 7.8%), and were less often non-Hispanic white (7.5% vs 56%) [p<0.001]. YT2D were frequently lost to follow-up (42.3%) and often transferred to a primary care provider (PCP) (45.6%). They had lower odds of successful transfer (OR: 0.55, CI: 0.3-0.98, p=0.043) and higher odds of PCP transfer (OR 8.97, CI: 3.85-22.3) p<0.001).

The implementation of these guidelines in practice can be challenging due to scheduling and billing practices. The primary objective of this work was to assess utilization of diabetes dietitians in clinical practice across adult and pediatric diabetes centers participating in the T1DX Quality Improvement (QI) Collaborative. Methods: An annual survey was administered from August-October 2025 to 64 centers participating in the T1DX-QI Collaborative. Descriptive analysis of reported data was completed. Results: Responses were collected from 63 of 64 centers (98%); 67% were pediatric centers and 33% were adult centers. For both pediatric and adult centers, 85% report billing for dietitian visits. Only 35% of pediatric centers, while 68% of adult centers, reported that the dietitians were required to be Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists. Dietitian visits were more likely to be combined with a provider visit for pediatric centers and 68% of pediatric centers reported that their patients had at least 1 dietitian visit per year (compared to 40% of adult centers).

The BEAD-T1D study examined relationships in parent-youth dyads across three key domains: racism exposure, diabetes technology perceptions, and psychosocial health. Methods: Parents and youth aged 12-21 years with T1D completed validated age-appropriate surveys assessing perceived racism and adverse childhood experiences, diabetes technology acceptance and burden, and psychosocial outcomes including depression, diabetes distress, and global health. Pearson correlations were used to measure correlations within and across dyads. Results: Dyads (n=80: 50% Hispanic, 55% publicly insured) demonstrated significant within-dyad correlations on explicit racism (r=0.42, p<0.001), diabetes distress (r=0.24, p=0.034), global health (r=0.35, p=0.001), and depression (r=0.38, p=0.001). The figure presents correlation arrows between parents (♦) and youth (←) across the domains of racism exposure (purple), diabetes technology perceptions (green), and psychosocial health (blue).

Linear mixed-effects models assessed time effects and modification by race, insurance, and SDI. Results: Twenty-seven youth participated (median age 12.5y, 69% female, 54% NHW, 39% NHB, 8% Asian, 23% public insurance, median SDI 47, 89% AID use).

The ECHO for Diabetes Mellitus and Multiple Comorbidities (E4DMMC) study is a pragmatic, cluster-randomized trial evaluating whether a Project ECHO intervention for primary care teams improves care delivery and outcomes for DMCC patients in rural New Mexico. This analysis characterizes baseline healthcare utilization, processes, and glycemic outcomes to establish benchmarks for evaluating intervention effects. Methods: Demographics, comorbidities (including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, chronic kidney disease, and depression), and healthcare utilization were described and trend analyses conducted over an 18-month baseline to assess outpatient visits, lab monitoring, medication use, preventive care services, self-management counseling, and HbA1c trajectories. Results: Among 5,835 adults with diabetes and ≥2 comorbidities, the mean age was 64.3 years, 51% female, 75% Hispanic or members of racial/ethnic minority groups; 60% resided in rural areas; and 70% were insured through Medicare or Medicaid. Patients averaged 3.18 outpatient visits per person-year. For care processes, 32% received diabetes monitoring and 60% kidney disease monitoring. Foot and eye examinations were completed in 45% and 29% of patients, respectively. Preventive counseling was completed in 98% of patients for nutrition and physical activity, self-management education was completed in 62% for diabetes, 44% for hypertension, and 28% for tobacco cessation. Overall, 37% of patients had poor glycemic control (any HbA1c >9%).

This study examined barriers and enablers influencing providers’ initiation of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin pumps, and automated insulin delivery (AID). Methods: We conducted twenty-nine semi-structured interviews in English and French with purposively sampled endocrinologists (n = 16) and certified diabetes educators (CDEs; n = 13) in Ontario and Québec. Two analysts independently coded transcripts deductively using the Theoretical Domains Framework. Results: Data saturation was achieved across interviews with endocrinologists and CDEs. Endocrinologists reported barriers including lack of standardized initiation workflows, limited technical involvement in pump initiation, and lower confidence initiating pumps compared with CGM, driven by safety and socioeconomic concerns. Facilitators included positive clinical feedback, interprofessional collaboration, and viewing AID as standard of care. CDEs reported greater confidence initiating pumps but experienced cognitive and emotional overload when supporting socially disadvantaged patients. Facilitators included active roles in pump training, frequent technology discussions, and standardized processes. Cross-cutting themes included gatekeeping driven by perceived socioeconomic constraints, limited access to tailored or translated education materials, challenges navigating coverage and social supports, and provider advocacy beyond clinical roles. Conclusion: Provider role, confidence, and system-level constraints shape technology initiation for socially disadvantaged adults with T1D.

We aimed to assess access to and usage of GLP-1 RAs in YO-T2D across pediatric diabetes centers within the T1D Exchange QI Collaborative (T1DX-QI). Methods: The 2025 T1DX-QI annual survey was administered to all member centers. Responses were collected from representatives at each center. Descriptive analyses summarized GLP-1 RA use, insurance coverage, access, and monitoring. Results: Among 42 responding pediatric centers 88% reported GLP-1 RA coverage for YO-T2D for privately insured and 81% for publicly insured patients. Estimated GLP-1 RA use varied widely with 25 centers reporting that ≤50% of patients with YO-T2D were prescribed GLP-1 RAs. Only 31% of centers reported having structured follow-up protocols with most centers relying on patients to schedule clinic visits instead of proactive outreach between appointments. Conclusion: Reports of insurance coverage for GLP-1 RAs in YO-T2D were variable based on insurance type and prescribing rates were low for several centers, suggesting opportunities to support prescribers and patients in accessing GLP-1 RAs.

{"title":"2089-P: Hemoglobin A1c Trajectories from Diabetes Onset in Youth with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)","authors":"ANNA KADI, DANIEL PALACIOS, SUKRU ARAS, LYDIA SOBHI, HU CHEN, ZHANDONG LIU, MARIA J.

Whether such trajectories exist in youth with T2D is unknown. We aimed to identify A1c trajectories after T2D onset in youth. Methods: Youth with T2D aged 8-20 years and diagnosed between 2011 and 2025 were identified from electronic medical records at a tertiary care center. Clustering analysis using A1c trajectory features (baseline, mean, slope, and change) identified patterns over 5 years after diagnosis. Demographic and clinical characteristics were compared across trajectories, and multivariable regression analyses identified predictors of diabetic complications. Results: The cohort included 2,449 youth (41.8% male, 58.3% Hispanic, 28.1% African American) with mean A1c at diagnosis of 8.7%. Three A1c trajectories were identified (Figure). Compared to the low A1c trajectory, the intermediate and high trajectories included higher proportions of African American and male youth (p<0.001, both). Youth in these trajectories were more likely to require insulin at 2 and 5 years after diagnosis (p<0.001, both). Belonging to the high A1c trajectory was among the strongest predictors of diabetic ketoacidosis. Conclusion: Distinct A1c trajectories occur after T2D onset in youth and are associated with demographic and clinical differences. Early identification of high-risk youth may help guide monitoring and targeted interventions. Disclosure A. Kadi: None. D. Palacios: None. S. Aras: None. L. Sobhi: None. H. Chen: None. Z. Liu: None.
