Prevalence of Diabetes and IFG in US Adolescents – NHANES 1999-2002
  • Type 2 Diabetes
    • 0.5% of adolescents have diabetes
    • 71% type 1 and 29% type 2
      • Determined by insulin use vs no insulin use
    • 39,005 US teens with T2D

  • Impaired Fasting Glucose
    • 11% had IFG
    • 2,769,736 teens with IFG


  • Diabetes Increased 41% from 4.9 to 6.9/1000 from 1997 to 2003 - adults

Is it an epidemic?

  • The incidence is increasing and probably underestimated
    • Population based estimates indicate an ~10-fold increase in incident cases over the past 10-15 years
    • 8% to 43% of all new cases of diabetes in the United States depending on ethnicity
    • The SEARCH Trial
    • What about prevalence??

Controversies as to the Nature of this Epidemic
  • Difficult to recruit for the TODAY trial
      • 13 centers across the country
      • Presence of antibodies
  • The SEARCH Trial
      • 19,000 new patients with T1D
      • 4,100 new patients with T2D

Differentiation Between Type 1 and 2
  • 48 with type 2 vs 39 with type 1
  • Type 2
    • Ethnicity, 1st degree relative, BMI>24, +C-peptide, acanthosis

Diagnosis with Type 2
Fagot-Campagna et al J Pediatr 2000
  • Mean Age  12-14 years
  • Girls > Boys 1.7:1
  • Obese BMI >85th %
  • Minority Groups 94%
  • Strong Family History 74-100%
  • Acanthosis Nigricans 56-92%

TREATMENT GOALS
  • Glucose control, HbA1c <7%
    • Eliminate symptoms of hyperglycemia
  • Maintenance of reasonable body weight
  • Improve cardiovascular risk factors
  • Reduce microvascular complications
  • Improvement in physical and emotional well-being

LWPES Survey
130 Clinical Practices
  • 48% treated with insulin alone
    • 2 injections
  • 44% with oral agents
    • 71% metformin
    • 46% sulfonylurea
    • 9% TZD
    • 4% meglitinide

Studies to Treat Or Prevent Pediatric Type 2 Diabetes

STOPP-T2D
  • Funded by
  • National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive
  • and Kidney Diseases
  • National Institutes of Health


35
STOPP-T2 TREATMENT
PRIMARY AIM

  • To compare the efficacy of 3 treatment regimens
    • Metformin
    • Metformin + lifestyle
    • Metformin + TZD


    • On Time to Treatment Failure and on Glycemic Control


36
Primary Outcomes
  • Treatment goal
    • HbA1c < 6% (glycemic control)
  • Treatment failure
    • HbA1c ³ 8.0% over 6 consecutive months
    • OR
    • Inability to wean from temporary insulin therapy due to metabolic decompensation
37
Outcome Measures
  • Glycemia
    • HbA1c, fasting and postprandial glucose by home monitoring
  • Insulin sensitivity and secretion
    • OGTT, HOMA, QUICKI, proinsulin, C-peptide
  • Body composition
    • BMI, DEXA, waist circumference, abdominal height
  • Fitness and physical activity
    • PDPAR, PWC 170, accelerometer
38
Outcome Measures (continued)
  • Nutrition
    • food frequency questionnaire
  • Cardiovascular disease risk
    • BP, lipids, inflammatory markers, coagulation factors
  • Microvascular complications
    • microalbuminuria, neuropathy
  • Quality of life
  • Cost
39
Inclusion Criteria
  • Age 10 to 17 years
  • Duration of diabetes < 2 years
  • BMI ³ 85th percentile
  • Adult involved in the daily activities of the child agrees to participate in the intervention
  • Absence of pancreatic autoimmunity
  • Fasting C-peptide > 0.6 mmol/L
  • Fluency in English or Spanish

National Diabetes Education Program’s Tip Sheets for Kids with Type 2
  • What is Diabetes?
  • Be Active
  • Stay at a Healthy Weight
  • Eat Healthy Foods

Helping the Student with Diabetes Succeed
42
Conclusion
  • Increased incidence
  • Difficult to distinguish from type 1
  • Occurs at the time of intense insulin resistance due to puberty
  • Does not appear to be preceded by long asymptomatic period
  • More insulin deficiency and requirement for exogenous insulin early
  • Safety and efficacy of therapeutic agents
  • Rapid progression of co-morbidities and complications
