9.13. Lack of evidence for a causal role of hyperinsulinemia in the progression of obesity in children and adolescents: a longitudinal study

R Halloun , A Galderisi , S Caprio , R Weiss

Brief summary: This longitudinal study aimed to determine if hyperinsulinemia and postprandial glucose levels could predict obesity progression in n=591 children and adolescents with obesity. The authors found no association between hyperinsulinemia, insulin secretion, low postprandial glucose levels, and an increase in obesity over a 2–4-year period.According to the carbohydrate-insulin model (1), diets with a high glycemic load (GL) promote weight...

To read the full abstract: Journal of Pediatrics 2018;192:105-114Rising degree of obesity has been shown to predict increased metabolic risk in obese children and adolescents (1). Nonetheless, it is unclear if BMI categories can be successfully applied to populations of obese children and adolescents for a risk-adapted stratification of therapeutic approaches, and here especially for the in...

10.6. Deterioration of glycemic control in youth-onset type 2 diabetes: What are the early and late predictors?

P Zeitler , L El Ghormli , S Arslanian , S Caprio , E Isganaitis , MK Kelsey , RS Weinstock , NH White , K Drews

Brief summary: In this study of 699 youth 10 to < 18 years old with <2 years duration of type 2 diabetes (T2D) at 15 centers across the USA, baseline HbA1c level, and the change in HbA1c level in the first 6 months are predictors of rapid glycemic deterioration. In addition, subsequent loss of control can be predicted based on both baseline and ongoing clinical characteristics.Comment: The population of individuals with youth-onset T2D is heterog...

The New England Journal of Medicine 2021;385(5):416-26. doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa2100165Brief Summary: This multicenter observational study assessed the cumulative incidence of diabetic complications in 500 adolescents with Type 2 diabetes (T2DM), followed from 2011 to 2020. After only 13 years from T2DM diagnosis, higher complication rates were observed than those reported for pediatric patients wit...
