This article summarizes the current understanding of the heterogeneity of type 1 diabetes from a June 2024 international Expert Forum organized by the editors of Diabetes, Diabetes Care, and Diabetologia. The Forum reviewed key factors contributing to the development and progression of type 1 diabetes and outlined specific, high-priority research questions. Knowledge gaps were identified, and, notably, opportunities to harness disease ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The prevalence of sexual dysfunctions in people with diabetes is still debated and understudied in women. This study examines the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in men and women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes (T1D or T2D) and the associations with clinical and psychological variables. METHODS: Adults with diabetes (n = 756) completed an online survey including questions on sexual functioning (adapted Short Sexual ...

Regular physical activity and exercise (PA) are cornerstones of diabetes care for individuals with type 1 diabetes. In recent years, the availability of automated insulin delivery (AID) systems has improved the ability of people with type 1 diabetes to achieve the recommended glucose target ranges. PA provide additional health benefits but can cause glucose fluctuations, which challenges current AID systems. While an increasing number of ...

This long-term prospective study examined whether illness self-concept (or the degree to which chronic illness becomes integrated in the self) mediated the pathway from self-esteem to problem areas in diabetes in emerging adults with Type 1 diabetes. Having a central illness self-concept (i.e. feeling overwhelmed by diabetes) was found to relate to lower self-esteem, and more treatment, food, emotional, and social support problems. Furthermore, ...

Eighty patients with type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes (ages 0-39 years) were consecutively recruited by the Belgian Diabetes Registry. Sera obtained at clinically diagnosed onset (i.e., before start of insulin therapy or within 7 days of initial treatment) were analyzed for total IgM concentrations and for IgM binding to fixed rat splenocytes (IgM-LyAb) and permeabilized rat islet cells (IgM-ICAb). Comparison of results with those in age- and ...

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of the study was to investigate the use of hyperglycaemic clamp tests to identify individuals who will develop diabetes among insulinoma-associated protein-2 antibody (IA-2A)-positive first-degree relatives (IA-2A(+) FDRs) of type 1 diabetic patients. METHODS: Hyperglycaemic clamps were performed in 17 non-diabetic IA-2A(+) FDRs aged 14 to 33 years and in 21 matched healthy volunteers (HVs). Insulin and C-peptide ...

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to describe experiences reported by diabetes care and education specialists caring for young adults with type 1 diabetes and to assess perceived deficiencies in clinical resources and barriers to care delivery. METHODS: A 60-item electronic survey was fielded through email to members of the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (ADCES). Respondents completed a survey consisting of: (1) ...
