Lifestyle change can delay or prevent the development of type 2 diabetes, yet real-world implementation of health behavior recommendations is challenging. We previously engaged youth with risk factors for type 2 diabetes, their caregivers, and professionals in a human-centered design study to co-design a lifestyle change program. Here we report the outcomes for this 16-week co-designed lifestyle change program for youth at risk for T2D and their caregivers.This single-arm family-based cohort study included youth aged 7-18 years, with BMI ≥85th percentile (overweight or obese) and at least one additional risk factor for type 2 diabetes, and their caregivers. Clinical (BMI, HbA1c), self-reported physical activity, and quality of life outcomes were evaluated at baseline (B), post-intervention (M4), and 1 year (M12) following the intervention.Seventy-eight youth (mean age 12.4 ± 2.7y, 67% female, 37.8% white) and 65 caregivers were included in the data analysis. Youth baseline BMI z-scores (2.26 ± 0.47) and HbA1c (5.3 ± 0.3) were unchanged at follow up time points [BMI z-scores M4 (2.25 ± 0.52), M12 (2.16 ± 0.58), p-value 0.46], [HbA1c M4 (5.3 ± 0.3), M12 (5.2 ± 0.3), p-value (0.04)]. Youth reported increased physical activity at M4 (p = 0.004), but not at M12. Youth quality of life scores increased at M12 (p=0.01).

We aimed to analyze the effect of GAD65 and IA2 autoantibody status on graft survival and attainment of insulin independence in subjects with T1D who underwent ITx. Method We conducted a retrospective cohort study on 47 ITx recipients from 2000 to 2018. Islet infusion was performed via intrahepatic portal (n=44) or onto the omentum via laparoscopic approach (n=3). Immunosuppression involved anti-IL2 receptor antibody, anti-TNF, and dual combinations of sirolimus, tacrolimus, or mycophenolate mofetil (Edmonton-like) in 38 subjects (80.9%). T-cell depletion induction with Edmonton-like maintenance was used in 9 subjects (19%). GAD65 and IA2 autoantibodies were assessed pre-transplant and post-transplant (monthly) until graft failure, and categorized as persistently negative, persistently positive, or seroconverters. Graft survival was analyzed using U-Mann-Whitney test, and Quade’s nonparametric ANCOVA adjusted for confounders. Kaplan-Meier and Log-Rank tests were employed to analyze attainment of insulin independence. P value &amp;lt;0.05 indicated statistical significance. Results ITx recipients with persistent autoantibody negativity (n = 21) showed longer graft function (98 [61 – 182] months) than those with persistent autoantibody positivity (n = 18; 38 [13 – 163] months), even after adjusting for immunosuppressive induction protocol (P = 0.027). Seroconverters (n=8) had a median graft survival time of 73 (7.7 – 167) months, which did not significantly differ from the other 2 groups. Subjects with persistently single antibody positivity to GAD65 (n = 8) had shorter graft survival compared to negative islet autoantibody (GAD65/IA2) subjects (n = 21; P = 0.016). Time of graft survival did not differ in subjects with single antibody positivity to IA2. The proportion of insulin independence attainment was similar irrespective of autoantibody status. Conclusion The persistence of islet autoantibodies, as markers of islet autoimmunity, may represent an underappreciated contributing factor to the failure of transplanted β cells. Whether induction with T-cell depletion may lead to improved graft survival, independent of islet autoantibody status, could not be evaluated in our cohort. Larger prospective studies are needed to further address the role of islet autoantibody status on islet graft survival.","PeriodicalId":73075,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in clinical diabetes and healthcare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136282239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The positive effect of apple cider vinegar (ACV) has been shown on post-prandial hyperglycemia. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of prolonged consumption of ACV on blood glucose indices and lipid profile in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods This study was a randomized clinical trial and the participants were adults with type 2 diabetes. Participants were divided into two groups: ACV and control. The ACV group was treated with 30 ml of ACV per day. Both the intervention and control groups received the same recommendation for a healthy diet. Before and after eight weeks, fasting blood glucose, insulin, hemoglobin A1C, insulin resistance, total cholesterol (Chol), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and triglyceride were measured. Results Fasting blood glucose decreased after intervention in both groups, which was only significant in the ACV group (p = 0.01). There was a significant difference in hemoglobin A1C levels between the two groups (p &amp;lt; 0.001) after eight weeks. LDL was decreased in the ACV group (p &amp;lt; 0.001).

Although web programs integrating cognitive-behavioral therapy with diabetes education have shown good results, no similar approach has been implemented in Spain. This aim of this study was to administer an Internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy program (CBT) for the treatment of mild-moderate depressive symptomatology in individuals with type 1 diabetes (WEB_TDDI1 study) and evaluate the efficacy of this program. Research design and methods A pre-post randomized controlled study was conducted. The sample comprised 65 people with type 1 diabetes and mild-moderate depressive symptoms: 35 treatment group (TG) and 30 control group (CG). The following effects of the nine-session program were analyzed: depression (Beck Depression Inventory Fast Screen, BDI-FS), metabolic variables (glycosilated hemoglobin, HbA1c), and other psychological variables including anxiety (State Trait Anxiety Inventory, STAI), fear of hypoglycemia (Fear of Hypoglycemia Questionnaire, FH-15), distress (Diabetes Distress Questionnaire (DDS), quality of life (Diabetes Quality of Life Questionnaire, DQOL),and treatment adherence (Diabetes Self-Care Inventory-Revised questionnaire, SCI-R). Results At the end of the treatment program, only 28 people were evaluated (TG=8; CG=20). However, a significant reduction was found in both groups in BDI-FS and STAI-T scores, which was significantly greater in the TG. Significant improvements were also found in the TG in DQOL, FH-15, DDS and SCI-R scores. The percentage change in these variables was also statistically significant in the TG versus the CG. However, no significant results were found in HbA1c. Conclusions The Internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy program for the treatment of mild-moderate depressive symptomatology in people with type 1 diabetes (WEB_TDDI1 study) is effective in reducing depressive symptomatology in the sample that completed the study. Positive results are also produced in other variables associated with depression in this population such as diabetes-related distress, trait anxiety, fear of hypoglycemia, quality of life, and adherence to diabetes treatment. Although new studies would be necessary to support the results of this platform, the results obtained are positive and support the use of this platform as an appropriate treatment for this population.
