1 Challenges and Opportunities in the Management of Type 1 Diabetes in Youth Lori Laffel, MD, MPH Chief, Pediatric, Adolescent and Young Adult Section Investigator, Genetics and Epidemiology Section Joslin Diabetes Center, Harvard Medical School Type 1 Diabetes - Part 1

2 JBW - January 2003 9 year old boy, otherwise healthy Many classmates had flu Onset of nausea, vomiting, lethargy Call to local healthcare: –Asked about hydration status, time of last urination Next morning, JBW found dead in bed

3 Outline: Part 1 Changing epidemiology of diabetes in youth –Type 1 vs type 2 –Epidemic rates of type 1 diabetes –Younger age of onset of type 1 diabetes Glycemic control –Adolescents and the DCCT –Factors related to glycemic control –A1c guidelines and A1c outcomes in T1D Cases

4 Outline: Part 2 Other challenges –Hypoglycemia as a barrier to A1c goals –Family impact of T1D Changing glycemic outcomes –BG monitoring –Insulin pump use and bolus dosing Other opportunities –Continuous glucose monitoring Cases

5 Epidemiology - 1 15,000 youth/yr in USA & 70,000 youth/yr worldwide are diagnosed with T1D 3,700 youth/yr in USA are diagnosed with T2D; ??? numbers/yr worldwide with T2D T1D occurs equally among males and females; T2D occurs 1.6x more often in females than males T1D is more common in whites than non- whites; T2D occurs more often in racial/ethnic minorities SEARCH Writing Group, JAMA 2007; 297:2716WHO 2012 ADA.

12 Vehik K et al. Diabetes Care. 2007;30:502-509. Increasing Incidence of T1D in 0-17 year old Youth in Colorado IR of T1D increased 1.6-fold in Colorado 1978 to 2004: 14.8 to 23.9/100,000/year

13 Numbers of youth with diabetes are expected to rise substantially by 2050 Estimates based up stable annual IR of T1D and T2D, there will be ~25% more youth with T1D and ~50% more youth with T2D by 2050 Estimates based upon the current annual IR increases of 2.3% in Colorado, USA (Vs 3.9% in Europe), there will be 300% more youth with T1D and 400% more youth with T2D by 2050 AND, IN TURN, THERE WILL BE MORE CASES OF DKA

14 Nov 2, 2012 Annual death rates in USA from diabetes per 1,000,000 youths Death rates mainly from acute complications: hypoglycemia and DKA. Overall decline in death rates by 61% from 1968-2009. After initial decline, death rate increased from 1984-2009 in 10-19 y/o.

15 Discussion Point: Factors related to onset of T1D In your practice, how do you explain new onset type 1 diabetes to families? What factors related to type 1 diabetes onset do you discuss with families? –Have a 3 minute discussion about this at each of your tables.

16 DCCT and Adolescents

17 DCCT – Adult & Adolescent Cohorts Adults Adolescents DCCT: N Engl J Med. 1993 J Peds, 1994

18 DCCT: Adolescents Vs Adults significantly higher A1c’s: intensive-8.1 vs 7.1% conventional-9.8 vs 9.0% significantly more hypoglycemia: intensive- 86 vs 57/100-pt-yrs conventional-28 vs 17/100-pt-yrs had significantly more DKA than adults: intensive-2.8 vs 1.8/100-pt-yrs conventional-4.7 vs 1.3/100-pt-yrs

19  Intensive insulin therapy: Improved A1c compared with conventional therapy Reduced risk of diabetic eye disease by 53-70% (P<.05) Reduced risk of diabetic kidney disease by 55% (P<.05)  Intensive insulin therapy required: Multi-disciplinary team management Education and support for insulin dosing, diet, exercise Frequent blood glucose monitoring Regular follow-up care

20 Risk of Hyperglycemia Due to intensity of exposure Intensity = degree of hyperglycemia X duration of hyperglycemia

21 Risk of Retinopathy Progression According to A1c JAMA 2002:287 A1c of 10% x3 years Vs A1c of 8% x8 years

22 Glycemic Goals and Glycemic Outcomes in Youth with T1D

23 Discussion Point: Treatment Targets In your practice, what clinical guidelines do you consider when establishing treatment targets? What factors impact glycemic control in youth? –Have a 3 minute discussion about this at each of your tables.

38 Case

39 Case #1: Overview A 14 year old boy with high A1c treated with a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (insulin pump) –He has had diabetes for 5 years and been on the pump for 3 years –A1c was relatively stable at 7.5% until the past 1 ½ years, when it started rising to 9%

40 Question #1 What would you do? A: Prescribe more insulin B: Take him off the pump C: Talk to him about complications

69 Discussion Point: Obstacles to Achieving Management and Metabolic Goals: At your tables, identify 3 challenges related to insulin pump therapy. –Have a 3 minute discussion about this at each of your tables.

70 Challenges of Pump Use Vs Injection R x p<0.0001

71 Q: When kids forget one bolus of insulin every other day, 1:___it has no impact on glycemic control or the A1c. 2:___the A1c increases by 0.5%. 3:___the A1c increases by 1.0%. 4:___the A1c increases by 2.0%.

72 Consistent bolus dosing is important

73 Burdick J, et al. Pediatrics 2004;113:e221–4. Missed insulin meal boluses and A1c A1c correlated with number of missed insulin meal boluses per day (r = 0.4; n = 48) A1c increases 1% / 4 missed boluses / week Missed boluses per week 10 6 6.5 7 7.5 8 8.5 9 9.5 0 2 468 HbA 1c (%)

83 Case

84 Case #3: Overview A 17 year old girl with 2 hospitalizations for DKA in the past year –T1D since age 10 –Relatively good control of diabetes until age 15, then A1c up to 11% –She does all diabetes management on own – does not want parents involved

85 Question #3 What would you do? A: Tell the parents to get more involved in her care B: Tell the parents they should absolutely NOT have involvement in her care – she is almost an adult C: Try to find out more about why this is happening

86 Factors influencing treatment adherence in adolescents with T1D Borus JS, Laffel L. Curr Opin Pediatr 2010;22:405–11. Adherence Gender Family Peers/school Technologies Disordered eating Affective disorders Diabetes-specific conflict Age Diabetes duration

87 Case #3: Issues to Consider What is going on in other areas of her life? Anything new in past year? Possible eating disorder? How does she feel about her diabetes? Why is she omitting insulin? How does the family interact around diabetes?

88 ~30% of females teens with T1D had DEBs or EDs ~30% used insulin restriction or omission for weight loss Those with DEB/EDs had higher A1c by ~2% During 4 years of F/U, those with DEB/EDs had 3x the risk of retinopathy and 2x the risk of microalbuminuria

89 Opportunities with CGM Use  Continuous data, revealing rate and direction of change  Improve diabetes management and self-efficacy  Immediate feedback regarding insulin, diet, exercise, stress  Alarms and trend data can help prevent hypo- and hyper-glycemia  Retrospective data allows refinement of Rx  Reduce anxiety about hypoglycemia  Reduce family conflict due to better control, or greater awareness that BG numbers do not always reflect behavior in a predictable way

90 Challenges of CGM Use  Increase anxiety and/or depressive symptoms  Too much information/overwhelming?  CGM leads to excessive focus on numbers?  Increase awareness of out-of-range values  Disagreement between CGM and traditional BGM values  Burden associated with insertion, calibration, tape, alarms  Increase family conflict (e.g., parental blame if awareness of out-of-range values increases) With negative impact of CGM less CGM usage

91

92 Relationship Between Change in HbA1c and Frequency of CGM Use Change in HbA1c

93 Glucose Monitoring: SMBG & CGM SMBGCGM Beck et al. JCEM 2012

94 Challenges of CGM Use for Families and Youth with T1D Parents seek improved approaches to care; parents provide consent, youth “go along for the ride” Youth expect devices to make management easier; unrealistic expectations for “cure” with artificial pancreas Parents of younger children remain involved, parents of adolescents disengage with increased adolescent autonomy and need for privacy (sensors worn on body = personal invasion) Parents of younger children often fear low BGs more than high BGs Children do not look at receiver; adolescents often ignore “nuisance” alarms

95 Opportunities & Ongoing Challenges In the post-DCCT era, more pediatric patients with T1DM receive intensive diabetes management leading to improved glycemic control There remains a significant gap between current glycemic outcomes and glycemic targets in pediatric patients today Present: education, technologies, and multi-disciplinary support to reduce the gap Future: CGM and closing the loop
