Aims: The present study assessed the transitioning process of young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) in Italy. Materials and methods: We asked Pediatric Diabetes Centers (PDC) and Adult Diabetes Centers (CAD) to fill in a web-based survey on the current state of services, the number of transitioning adolescents with T1D within the last year, observations on limitations, and future directions. Results: 93 centers (46 PDCs, 47 CADs) joined the study. The total number of subjects with T1D being followed by a PDC was 16,261 (13,779 minors and 2483 young adults), while CADs had 25,500 patients. The survey showed an uneven situation. Only some services had a dedicated diabetes team (78% of PDCs, 64% of CADs). 72% of PDCs and 58% of CADs reported a protocol dedicated to transition. The median age for transition was 19 (range 16–25 years); the time required for preparing transition, indicated by both PDCs and CADs, was 5.5 months. A high percentage of CADs (80%) confirmed receiving sufficient clinical information, mainly through paper or computerized reports. The transition process is hampered by a lack of resources, logistical facilities, and communication between services. While some services have a protocol, monitoring of results is only carried out in a few cases. Most specialists expressed the need to enhance integration and continuity of treatment. Conclusions: The current situation could be improved. Applying standard guidelines, taking into consideration both clinicians' and patients' necessities, would lead to a more successful transition process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There has been continuous progress in diabetes management over the last few decades, not least due to the widespread dissemination of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and automated insulin delivery systems. These technological advances have radically changed the daily lives of people living with diabetes, improving the quality of life of both children and their families. Despite this, hypoglycemia remains the primary side-effect of insulin therapy. Based on a systematic review of the available scientific evidence, this paper aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for recognizing, risk stratifying, treating, and managing patients with hypoglycemia. The objective of these recommendations is to unify the behavior of pediatric diabetologists with respect to the timely recognition and prevention of hypoglycemic episodes and the correct treatment of hypoglycemia, especially in patients using CGM or advanced hybrid closed-loop systems. All authors have long experience in the specialty and are members of the Italian Society of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology. The goal of treating hypoglycemia is to raise blood glucose above 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and to prevent further decreases. Oral glucose at a dose of 0.3 g/kg (0.1 g/kg for children using “smart pumps” or hybrid closed loop systems in automated mode) is the preferred treatment for the conscious individual with blood glucose

Background: Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is increasing worldwide, mostly because of improved technology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the current status of CSII in Italy. Materials and Methods: Physicians from 272 diabetes centers received a questionnaire investigating clinical features, pump technology, and management of patients on CSII. Results: Two hundred seventeen centers (79.8%) joined the study and, by the end of April 2013, gave information about 10,152 patients treated with CSII: 98.2% with type 1 diabetes mellitus, 81.4% adults, 57% female, and 61% with a conventional pump versus 39% with a sensor-augmented pump. CSII advanced functions were used by 68% of patients, and glucose sensors were used 12 days per month on average. Fifty-eight percent of diabetes centers had more than 20 patients on CSII, but there were differences among centers and among regions. The main indication for CSII was poor glucose control. Dropout was mainly due to pump wearability or nonoptimal glycemic control. Twenty-four hour assistance was guaranteed in 81% of centers. A full diabetes team (physician+ nurse + dietician + psychologist) was available in 23% of adult-care diabetes centers and in 53%of pediatric diabetes units. Conclusions: CSII keeps increasing in Italy. More work is needed to ensure uniform treatment strategies throughout the country and to improve pump use.

Background: KCNJ11 mutations cause permanent neonatal diabetes through pancreatic ATP-sensitive potassium channel activation. 90% of patients successfully transfer from insulin to oral sulfonylureas with excellent initial glycaemic control; however, whether this control is maintained in the long term is unclear. Sulfonylurea failure is seen in about 44% of people with type 2 diabetes after 5 years of treatment. Therefore, we did a 10-year multicentre follow-up study of a large international cohort of patients with KCNJ11 permanent neonatal diabetes to address the key questions relating to long-term efficacy and safety of sulfonylureas in these patients. Methods: In this multicentre, international cohort study, all patients diagnosed with KCNJ11 permanent neonatal diabetes at five laboratories in Exeter (UK), Rome (Italy), Bergen (Norway), Paris (France), and Krakow (Poland), who transferred from insulin to oral sulfonylureas before Nov 30, 2006, were eligible for inclusion. Clinicians collected clinical characteristics and annual data relating to glycaemic control, sulfonylurea dose, severe hypoglycaemia, side-effects, diabetes complications, and growth. The main outcomes of interest were sulfonylurea failure, defined as permanent reintroduction of daily insulin, and metabolic control, specifically HbA 1c and sulfonylurea dose. Neurological features associated with KCNJ11 permanent neonatal diabetes were also assessed. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02624817. Findings: 90 patients were identified as being eligible for inclusion and 81 were enrolled in the study and provided long-term (>5·5 years cut-off) outcome data. Median follow-up duration for the whole cohort was 10·2 years (IQR 9·3–10·8). At most recent follow-up (between Dec 1, 2012, and Oct 4, 2016), 75 (93%) of 81 participants remained on sulfonylurea therapy alone. Excellent glycaemic control was maintained for patients for whom we had paired data on HbA 1c and sulfonylurea at all time points (ie, pre-transfer [for HbA 1c ], year 1, and most recent follow-up; n=64)—median HbA 1c was 8·1% (IQR 7·2–9·2; 65·0 mmol/mol [55·2–77·1]) before transfer to sulfonylureas, 5·9% (5·4–6·5; 41·0 mmol/mol [35·5–47·5]; p

Background: The incidence of type 1 diabetes in childhood is increasing by 3 % per year, placing growing demands on healthcare professionals and medical expenditures. Aim of this study wars to assess the organization of care to children with diabetes in Italy. Methods: During 2012 a structured questionnaire was sent to all of the members of Italian Society of Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology (ISPED). Questions examined organizational structure of Centers, personnel dedicated to the care of children with diabetes, number of subjects followed, local legal legislation supporting centres. Results: A total of 68 centers taking care to 15,563 children and adolescents with diabetes under 18 years of age were identified with a prevalence of 1.4 per 1,000 people. A wide variation in the organizational background was also reported. Fourty-four centers were organized as outpatient departments, 17 as simple units, 5 as complex units and 2 as simple departmental structures. Most centers had a multidisciplinary team. Ten out of twenty Italian regions had introduced supportive regional legislation, but it was fully applied only in six of them. Conclusion: Great differences between regions were found in organizational structures, staffing levels and supportive legislation. The national legislation on diabetes was broadly implemented throughout the country regions. Further efforts are needed to improve standards and consistency of pediatric diabetes care in Italy.

Aims Insulin pump failure and/or malfunction requiring replacement have not been thoroughly investigated. This study evaluated pump replacement in children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes using insulin pump therapy. Methods Data were collected for all participants younger than 19 years, starting insulin pump therapy before 31 December 2013. For each child, age, disease duration, date of insulin pump therapy initiation, insulin pump model, failure/malfunction/replacement yes/no and reason were considered for the year 2013. Results Data were returned by 40 of 43 paediatric centres belonging to the Diabetes Study Group of the Italian Society of Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology. In total, 1574 of 11 311 (13.9%) children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes were using an insulin pump: 29.2% Animas VIBE™, 9.4% Medtronic MiniMed 715/515™, 34.3% Medtronic MiniMed VEO™, 24.3% Accu-Check Spirit Combo™ and 2.8% other models. In 2013, 0.165 insulin pump replacements per patient-year (11.8% due to pump failure/malfunction and 4.7% due to accidental damage) were recorded. Animas VIBE™ (22.1%) and Medtronic MiniMed VEO™ (17.7%) were the most replaced. Conclusions In a large cohort of Italian children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes, insulin pump failure/malfunction and consequent replacement are aligned with rates previously reported and higher in more sophisticated pump models.

Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is increasingly being used worldwide, mostly thanks to technical improvements. This study examined the current status of CSII in Italy. Physicians in charge of 272 diabetes centers caring for patients using CSII were sent a questionnaire investigating clinical features, pump technology and management of these patients; a large proportion (217 centers, 79.8%) joined the study. By end-April 2013, data had been collected on 10152 patients treated with CSII; 98.2% had type 1 diabetes, 82.4% were adults, 57% female. Only just over half the centers (59%) managed more than 20 CSII patients each. The distribution of patients varied widely both among and within different regions. The main indication for CSII was the de- sire to improve glycemic control. Dropouts (8.65%) were mainly due to difficulties with pump wearability or non-optimal glycemic control. Among CSII patients 61% used a traditional pump, 39% a sensor augmented pump. Only 68% used the CSII advanced functions and glucose sensors were used twelve days per month on average. Round-the-clock assistance was guaranteed in 81% of centers; a full diabetes team followed patients in only 40% of adult-care centers and 50% of pediatric units. CSII is increasingly used in Italy, by adults and pediatric patients. However, further work is needed to unify treatment strategies throughout the country and to encourage optimal pump use and applications.

Ketoacidosis is a potentially life-threatening complication in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), particularly children. If diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is diagnosed late, the child risks cerebral edema, permanent neurological damage or even death. There have been only few studies of DKA in Italy.From January-May 2014 a nation-wide observational, retrospective study of DKA at diabetes onset was done by the Pediatric Diabetology Study Group (PDSG) of the Italian Society of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes (ISPED), involving 76 Italian centers. DKA was defined using ISPAD criteria; 7457 new cases of T1DM were recruited from mainland Italy and the island of Sicily and 770 from Sardinia, in the period 2004-2013. On the mainland and in Sicily, DKA at diabetes onset was about 32.9% (95% CI 31.8-34.0%), and there was 6.6% (95% CI 6.02-7.20%) of the severe form. Mild and severe DKA risk was significantly higher in children aged 0-4 years; no significant temporal trend was found in the study period. Patients living in Sardinia or having a firstdegree relative with T1DM were at significantly lower risk of DKA at diabetes onset. In the ten-year study period three children died of DKA at onset and four suffered permanent neurological lesions. From November 2011-April 2012 the PDSG conducted a retrospective study based on a sample of 2025 patients with T1DM, aged 0-18 years, involving 29 national centers for pediatric diabetes. The incidence of DKA was 2.4% (IC 95% 1.8-3.1), with children older than ten years at significantly higher risk, probably due to shortages of insulin. Multiple analysis showed a higher risk of DKA in those using a rapid-acting insulin analog and in those with high HbA1c. Young mothers and low levels of education were also associated with DKA.In conclusion, although a wide network of specialized home pediatricians and pediatric diabetes centers is spread across the country, the incidence of DKA at diabetes onset is still high. Further social and health-system efforts are needed to boost awareness of this risk and to reduce damages and costs related to the complication.

BackgroundSome cases of apparently idiopathic GH deficiency (GHD) may be caused by pituitary autoimmunity.ObjectiveTo study the variations in pituitary function and antipituitary antibodies (APA) from childhood to transition age in patients with apparently idiopathic GHD.DesignWe conducted a longitudinal study.Patients and methodsPituitary function and APA detection by immunofluorescence were investigated in 24 childhood patients with isolated GHD before starting recombinant GH therapy and after the stopping of this therapy in transition age. Sera of patients positive for APA were processed by double immunofluorescence to identify their pituitary target.ResultsAt diagnosis, 16 out of 24 patients were APA positive targeting only somatotrophs (group 1), while the remaining eight were APA negative (group 2). When retested off therapy, 12 out of 16 patients in group 1 persisted being APA positive, while the remaining four became negative with recovery of pituitary function. All patients in group 2 persisted being APA negative but still showing GHD. Of the 12 patients persistently APA positive, eight with confirmed GHD showed APA still targeting somatotrophs, whereas four showed APA targeting only gonadotrophs associated with isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH).ConclusionPatients with APA at middle but not at high titer in childhood may show a remission of autoimmune GHD in childhood after GH replacement therapy. As APA may shift their target in transition period, an early characterization of APA by double immunofluorescence is advisable in APA positive GHD patients showing delayed puberty, to allow an early diagnosis and an appropriate therapy, thus preventing the progression toward HH.

- Abstract
MODY2 is the most prevalent monogenic form of diabetes in Italy with an estimated prevalence of about 0.5–1.5%. MODY2 is potentially indistinguishable from other forms of diabetes, however, its identification impacts on patients’ quality of life and healthcare resources. Unfortunately, DNA direct sequencing as diagnostic test is not readily accessible and expensive. In addition current guidelines, aiming to establish when the test should be performed, proved a poor detection rate. Aim of this study is to propose a reliable and easy-to-use tool to identify candidate patients for MODY2 genetic testing. We designed and validated a diagnostic flowchart in the attempt to improve the detection rate and to increase the number of properly requested tests. The flowchart, called 7-iF, consists of 7 binary ‘‘yes or no’’ questions and its unequivocal output is an indication for whether testing or not. We tested the 7-iF to estimate its clinical utility in comparison to the clinical suspicion alone. The 7-iF, in a prospective 2-year study (921 diabetic children) showed a precision of about the 76%. Using retrospective data, the 7-iF showed a precision in identifying MODY2 patients of about 80% compared to the 40% of the clinical suspicion. On the other hand, despite a relatively high number of missing MODY2 patients, the 7-iF would not suggest the test for 90% of the non-MODY2 patients, demonstrating that a wide application of this method might 1) help less experienced clinicians in suspecting MODY2 patients and 2) reducing the number of unnecessary tests. With the 7-iF, a clinician can feel confident of identifying a potential case of MODY2 and suggest the molecular test without fear of wasting time and money. A Qaly-type analysis estimated an increase in the patients’ quality of life and savings for the health care system of about 9 million euros per year.

MODY2 is the most prevalent monogenic form of diabetes in Italy with an estimated prevalence of about 0.5-1.5%. MODY2 is potentially indistinguishable from other forms of diabetes, however, its identification impacts on patients' quality of life and healthcare resources. Unfortunately, DNA direct sequencing as diagnostic test is not readily accessible and expensive. In addition current guidelines, aiming to establish when the test should be performed, proved a poor detection rate. Aim of this study is to propose a reliable and easy-to-use tool to identify candidate patients for MODY2 genetic testing. We designed and validated a diagnostic flowchart in the attempt to improve the detection rate and to increase the number of properly requested tests. The flowchart, called 7-iF, consists of 7 binary "yes or no" questions and its unequivocal output is an indication for whether testing or not. We tested the 7-iF to estimate its clinical utility in comparison to the clinical suspicion alone. The 7-iF, in a prospective 2-year study (921 diabetic children) showed a precision of about the 76%. Using retrospective data, the 7-iF showed a precision in identifying MODY2 patients of about 80% compared to the 40% of the clinical suspicion. On the other hand, despite a relatively high number of missing MODY2 patients, the 7-iF would not suggest the test for 90% of the non-MODY2 patients, demonstrating that a wide application of this method might 1) help less experienced clinicians in suspecting MODY2 patients and 2) reducing the number of unnecessary tests. With the 7-iF, a clinician can feel confident of identifying a potential case of MODY2 and suggest the molecular test without fear of wasting time and money. A Qaly-type analysis estimated an increase in the patients' quality of life and savings for the health care system of about 9 million euros per year.

OBJECTIVE: Antipituitary (APA) but not antihypothalamus antibodies (AHA) have been investigated in patients with idiopathic hypopituitarism. This study searched for APA and AHA in some of these patients to investigate whether pituitary or hypothalamic autoimmunity could play a role in their pituitary dysfunction. DESIGN: Sixty-six patients with selective idiopathic hypopituitarism were studied: 27 with ACTH deficiency, 20 with GH deficiency and 19 with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Twenty patients with hypopituitarism secondary to hypophysectomy and 50 healthy subjects were enrolled as controls. MEASUREMENTS: Antipituitary and AHA were evaluated by indirect immunofluorescence in sera of patients and controls. Positive sera were retested by a four-layer double immunofluorescence to identify the cells targeted by these antibodies. RESULTS: Antipituitary were present at high titre in 4 of 27 patients with ACTH deficiency (14·8%), 4 of 20 with GH deficiency (26%) and 5 of 19 with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (21%) and targeted, respectively, corticotrophs, somatotrophs and gonadotrophs. AHA were found at high titre only in 5 patients with ACTH deficiency (18·5%), mostly targeting corticotrophin-releasing hormone-secreting cells; none of these 5 patients resulted positive for antipituitary antibodies. Among the controls, only 1 hypophysectomized patient resulted APA positive at low titre. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that in patients with selective idiopathic hypopituitarism, detection of APA or AHA could better characterize an autoimmune process involving the pituitary or hypothalamus, respectively. In particular, detection of antibodies targeting selectively ACTH-secreting or corticotrophin-releasing hormone-secreting cells may differentiate, respectively secondary from tertiary variants of autoimmune hypoadrenalism

To assess burden and clinical features of type 1 diabetes in migrant with respect to Italian children. Prevalent children with type 1 diabetes were identified through a multicenter study, including 46 pediatric outpatients diabetic clinics. A nested case–control study was also performed, comparing features at diabetes onset and after 1 year of insulin treatment in 84 migrants and 75 Italian children with onset in 2011, matched for age and sex. Out of 7,812 children cared for by pediatric diabetologists, 761 (10 %) were migrant and 548 of them were born in Italy. Age at diagnosis was lower in migrants born in Italy (5.1 years, interquartile range (IQR) 2.2–7.7) than in those born in their original countries (7.8 years, IQR 5.3–10.3) and in Italians (9.8 years, IQR 5.9–13.0, p\0.001). At diabetes onset, migrants had lower frequencies of positivities of markers of b-cell autoimmunity (96 vs. 99.5 %, p\0.01), higher values of weight loss (11 vs. 7 %, p\0.01), HbA1c (70 vs. 58 mmol/mol, p\0.001), and insulin requirement (0.70 ± 0.03 vs. 0.63 ± 0.10 UI/kg/die, p = 0.05) and lower levels of 25-OH vitamin D3 (15.0 ± 2.8 vs. 20.8 ± 1.3, p = 0.03). Moreover, they experienced higher frequencies of hospitalizations during the first year of disease (19.2 vs. 2.7 %, p\0.001). Burden of type 1 diabetes in migrant children is increasing in Italy, with younger age at onset and different clinical features than in Italian children. Higher hospitalization rates and poorer glycemic control over the first year underline that approach to diabetes care in migrants needs to be improved.

Background and aims: Evaluation of incidence and correlates of severe hypoglycemia (SH) and diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA) in children and adolescents with T1DM. Methods and results: Retrospective study conducted in 29 diabetes centers from November 2011 to April 2012. The incidence of SH and DKA episodes and their correlates were assessed through a questionnaire administered to parents of patients aged 0e18 years. Incidence rates and incident rate ratios (IRRs) were estimated through multivariate Poisson regression analysis and multilevel analysis. Overall, 2025 patients were included (age 12.4 � 3.8 years; 53% males; diabetes dura- tion 5.6 � 3.5 years; HbA1c 7.9 � 1.1%). The incidence of SH and DKA were of 7.7 and 2.4 events/ 100 py, respectively. The risk of SH was higher in females (IRR Z 1.44; 95%CI 1.04e1.99), in pa- tients using rapid acting analogues as compared to regular insulin (IRR Z 1.48; 95%CI 0.97e2.26) and lower for patients using long acting analogues as compared to NPH insulin (IRR Z 0.40; 95% CI 0.19e0.85). No correlations were found between SH and HbA1c levels. The risk of DKA was higher in patients using rapid acting analogues (IRR Z 4.25; 95%CI 1.01e17.86) and increased with insulin units needed (IRR Z 7.66; 95%CI 2.83e20.74) and HbA1c levels (IRR Z 1.63; 95% CI 1.36e1.95). Mother' sa ge was inversely associated with the risk of both SH (IRRZ 0.95; 95%CI 0.92e0.98) and DKA (IRR Z 0.94; 95%CI 0.88e0.99). When accounting for center effect, the risk of SH associated with the use of rapid acting insulin analogues was attenuated (IRR Z 1.48; 95%CI 0.97e2.26); 33% and 16% of the residual variance in SH and DKA risk was ex- plained by center effect. Conclusion: The risk of SH and DKA is mainly associated with treatment modalities and strongly depends on the practice of specialist centers.
