Insulin oedema in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus

Despite the essential role of insulin in the management of patients with insulin deficiency, insulin use can lead to adverse effects such as hypoglycaemia and weight gain. Rarely, crucial fluid retention can occur with insulin therapy, resulting in an oedematous condition. Peripheral or generalised oedema is an extremely rare complication of insulin therapy in the absence of heart, liver or renal involvement. It has been reported in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, in poorly controlled type 2 diabetes following the initiation of insulin therapy, and in underweight patients on large doses of insulin. The oedema occurs shortly after the initiation of intensive insulin therapy. We describe two adolescent girls with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, who presented with oedema of the lower extremities approximately one week after the initiation of insulin treatment; other causes of oedema were excluded. Spontaneous recovery was observed in both patients.     

Problem of amputations in patients with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus

A reduction of 50 % or more in diabetes-related amputations is a primary target of the St Vincent Declaration. This is thought to be achievable because both primary and secondary preventative healthcare strategies are effective in reducing the incidence of diabetic foot ulceration and progression to amputation. Unfortunately there is a group who cannot benefit from preventative health care, that is, newly diagnosed diabetic patients with already established severe complications. Using our population-based district diabetes information system we investigated, during the period 1 January 1992 to 31 December 96, the incidence and prevalence of lower extremity amputations (LEAs) and the proportion occurring in patients newly or recently diagnosed as having diabetes. Seventy-nine diabetic patients (59 male, 20 female) were recorded as having had 94 LEAs, the incidence of diabetes-related LEA being 475 per 100 000 diabetic patient-years. Of these LEAs 16 (20.2 %) were performed within 1 year of diabetes being diagnosed. This study highlights an appreciable and previously unrecognized problem: patients presenting with established complications of diabetes who cannot benefit from secondary preventative healthcare. These patients pose a potential obstacle to achieving targets for reductions in diabetes-related amputations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Left ventricular function and dimensions in newly diagnosed non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Left ventricular (LV) function and dimensions were assessed with Doppler and M-mode echocardiography in 26 men and 17 women with newly diagnosed non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and in 13 healthy control men and 13 women. The diabetic men had lower peak filling rate normalized to mitral stroke volume than the control men (mean +/- standard error of the mean, 4.2 +/- 0.1 vs 4.9 +/- 0.3 stroke volume/s, p less than 0.01). The diabetic women had increased LV mass (102 +/- 12 vs 86 +/- 8 g/m2, p less than 0.01) and decreased fractional shortening (34 +/- 1 vs 38 +/- 1%, p less than 0.05) when compared with control women. At 3 and 15 months, 23 diabetic men and 15 women were reexamined. Concomitantly with decreasing blood glucose levels, fractional shortening improved mainly during the first 3 months and was significantly higher in both diabetic men (36 +/- 2 vs 30 +/- 2%, p less than 0.05) and women (38 +/- 1 vs 34 +/- 1%, p less than 0.05) at 15 months than at baseline. In the diabetic men, peak filling rate increased from 4.3 +/- 0.1 stroke volume/s at baseline to 4.8 +/- 0.2 stroke volume/s at 15 months (p less than 0.05). At 15 months, peak filling rate was correlated (r = 0.61, p less than or equal to 0.001) with autonomic nervous function assessed as heart rate variability during deep breathing test in diabetic men who also showed an inverse correlation between LV hypertrophy and heart rate variability throughout the follow-up.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Screening of Cushing's syndrome in adult patients with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus

OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have shown that a relatively high number of diabetic patients may have unsuspected Cushing's syndrome (CS). The aim of the present study was to screen for CS in adult patients with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus who were not selected for clinical characteristics, such as poor control and obesity, which may increase the pre-test probability of CS. DESIGN, PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENT: We prospectively evaluated 100 consecutive diabetic patients at diagnosis from 2003 to 2004. No patient had clear Cushingoid features. Screening was performed by using the overnight 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test (DST) after complete recovery from acute concomitant illnesses and attainment of satisfactory glycaemic control. The threshold of adequate suppression after DST was set at 110 nmol/l. RESULTS: Five patients failed to suppress cortisol after DST and underwent a repeated DST and a confirmatory standard 2-day, 2-mg DST after 3-6 months from the baseline evaluation. In one woman, a definitive diagnosis of CS was made by a surgically proven pituitary adenoma, and glycaemic control improved after cure of CS. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study support the view that unknown CS is not rare among patients with diabetes mellitus. This is the first demonstration that screening for CS may be feasible at the clinical onset of diabetes in an unselected cohort of patients. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment of CS may provide the opportunity to improve the prognosis of diabetes.     

Low plasma apelin levels in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate blood apelin concentrations in patients with newly diagnosed and untreated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who had no additional disorder and to investigate the association of apelin with adiponectin, body mass indexes (BMI) and insulin sensitivity. METHODS: Forty patients with T2DM and 40 healthy controls were enrolled. Apelin levels were measured along with BMI, lipids, glucose, insulin and adiponectin levels, and HOMA-IR indexes. Age, sex and BMI were similar in the two groups. RESULTS: Plasma apelin and adiponectin levels were significantly lower in the diabetic group compared to controls (p<0.001, for both). Insulin levels and HOMA indexes were significantly higher in patients with T2DM (p<0.001 and p=0.001, respectively). Apelin levels were negatively correlated with age (r=-0.315, p=0.006), fasting blood glucose (r=-0.556, p<0.001) and HOMA indexes (r=-0.411, p=0.001), and positively correlated with plasma adiponectin levels (r=0.593, p<0.001). Plasma adiponectin was negatively correlated to plasma insulin (r=-0.379, p=0.001), fasting glucose (r=-0.604, p<0.001), HOMA-IR (r=-0.559, p<0.001) and BMI (=-0.229, p=0.04). CONCLUSIONS: Plasma apelin is reduced in newly diagnosed and untreated patients with T2DM having no confounders. Regulation of circulating apelin and adiponectin seems to be in the same manner in patients with T2DM. Dysregulation of apelin might be involved in the mechanism of establishment of overt diabetes mellitus as well as associated atherosclerotic complications.     

Insulin sensitivity measured with euglycaemic clamp technique in newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus

The purpose of the study was to identify insulin resistance (IR) at the onset of diabetes mellitus type 2 and type 1 using euglycaemic clamp technique. The study was conducted in 51 subjects: 30 patients with newly diagnosed diabetes, 9 with type 1, mean age 29.3 +/- 6.6 yrs (SD), 21 with type 2, mean age 47.8 +/- 10.7 yrs and 21 control healthy subjects (mean age 43.5 +/- 13.9 yrs). In last group there was an increase in IR proportional to patients age (r = 0.78, p < 0.01). IR was more pronounced in obese subjects in comparison to non-obese subjects, index of tissue glucose disposal M was respectively 3.4 +/- 2.2 and 6.6 +/- 1.7 mg/kg x min, p < 0.005. M value was decreased also in patients with abdominal obesity measured with WHR, r = 0.73, p < 0.0005. The normal range for this method was 3.3 to 10 mg/kg x min. Insulin sensitivity is decreased in both types of newly diagnosed diabetes, in type 1 to 2.3 +/- 0.5 and in type 2 to 1.7 +/- 0.8 mg/kg x min as compared with control group. In diabetes type 1 IR was correlated with degree of hyperglycaemia measured with HbA1c ("glucotoxicity"). The lowest M values was found in diabetes type 2 with obesity. There were no significant abnormalities in insulin secretion in diabetic groups. These results suggest that the primary disturbance at the onset of diabetes mellitus is IR.

Audit of care of newly diagnosed children with diabetes mellitus in East Anglia

The aim of this study was to audit the organization of services and management at diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in children in the eight districts of East Anglia. Representatives of each district met and agreed indicators of good practice. Service organization was assessed by questionnaire. Provision of care was audited using a proforma completed prospectively for every newly diagnosed child. Outcomes were audited by an anonymous questionnaire to families at the first outpatient appointment to assess satisfaction with care, the education received, and confidence in basic skills needed for home care of diabetes. All districts had a designated paediatric diabetic clinic, all but one led by a paediatrician. All had nurse specialists, but the posts varied widely. Only three units had joint clinics for adolescents. In total, 75 % of the families returned the questionnaire. Satisfaction with support by health professionals was high. Education was good for injection technique, blood testing and diet management. Home visits by nurses were variable. Contact with schools and introduction to support groups was poor. Confidence in management was best when there was a dedicated paediatric specialist nurse with adequate cover within the team to allow home and school visits. Following peer review and implementation of an action plan, reaudit was undertaken one year later. Modest improvements were achieved in problem areas; solutions varied in different districts. Collaborative, multi-district audit allows comparison between demographically similar districts. Audit encourages improved practice within existing teams and allows an informed bid for scarce resources. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Comparison of human and porcine insulin therapies in children with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus

Summary A multicenter, longitudinal study of children below the age of 16 years with newly diagnosed Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes treated either with porcine monocomponent insulin (n=26) or semisynthetic human monocomponent insulin (n=26) was performed during the first 24 months after onset of diabetes. The two groups were carefully matched for age, duration of disease symptoms, initial metabolic values, islet cell antibodies and HLA-DR antigens. During the 24-month observation period there was no significant difference between the two groups in respect to the clinical course, insulin dosage, HbA₁ and residual B-cell activity. No child in either group had a real remission without necessitating insulin therapy. The prevalence of insulin antibodies increased slowly and was 62% in the group treated by human insulin and 52% in the porcine insulin-treated group after 24 months. The titres were generally low and there was no statistical difference between the two groups in respect to insulin antibody formation.     

Impaired deformability of erythrocytes and neutrophils in children with newly diagnosed insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus

Aims/hypothesis. Abnormal rheological properties of erythrocytes, leucocytes and plasma may have a role in the development of diabetic microangiopathy. We hypothesized that changed haemorrheological variables may already be found in children with onset diabetes. Methods. Erythrocyte deformation (rheoscope), neutrophil deformation (micropipette), erythrocyte aggregation, blood and plasma viscosity were measured in 15 children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus before initiation of insulin treatment and 4 to 6 weeks later, 15 diabetic children treated with insulin for 5 to 8 years, 15 healthy children and 15 healthy adults. Results. At a low shear stress of 0.6 Pa, erythrocyte deformation was decreased in the diabetic children before (–28 %), after 4 to 6 weeks (–22 %) and after 5 to 8 years (–17 %) of insulin treatment compared with healthy children. More active neutrophils were counted in the untreated diabetic children (9 ± 6 %) than in healthy children (3 ± 2 %). Deformability of passive neutrophils was greatly decreased in the children with onset diabetes and moderately reduced in the diabetic children who were treated with insulin. Neutrophil deformation (r = –0.52) and erythrocyte deformation at 0.6 Pa (r = –0.62) were inversely related to haemoglobin A1 c. Haematocrit and blood viscosity were increased in the untreated children and in the children treated with insulin for 5 to 8 years. Plasma viscosity and erythrocyte aggregation were similar in the three groups of children. Conclusion/interpretation. Decreased erythrocyte deformation at low shear force, increased count of active neutrophils and impaired deformability of passive neutrophils may increase the risk for acute cerebro-vascular complications in children with uncontrolled insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Nephrotoxicity of cyclosporin A in patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus

Renal function was studied in 18 patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. All were participating in the Canadian-European randomized placebo-controlled cyclosporin trial in newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetic patients, nine being randomized to placebo, and nine to cyclosporin A. During treatment for 12 to 18 months, cyclosporin A caused significant reductions in the glomerular filtration rate (before drug withdrawal, cyclosporin 97 +/- 18 vs placebo 125 +/- 16 ml min-1 1.73-m-2, p less than 0.05), renal plasma flow (454 +/- 83 vs 536 +/- 70 ml min-1 1.73-m-2, p less than 0.05), and lithium clearance (17 +/- 3 vs 28 +/- 5 ml min-1 1.73-m-2, p less than 0.05). The fractional proximal reabsorption was increased (0.82 +/- 0.03 vs 0.78 +/- 0.03, p less than 0.05), and the fractional distal sodium reabsorption reduced (0.88 +/- 0.03 vs 0.94 +/- 0.02, p less than 0.05). These results are in accordance with the hypothesis that the nephrotoxic effect of cyclosporin A results from a preferential constriction of afferent glomerular vessels. One year after withdrawal of the drug, all variables were similar in the two groups, except for blood glucose control which was worse in the cyclosporin A treated group. When corrected for differences in blood glucose control it appeared that in three out of nine patients glomerular filtration rate had not completely returned to the reference range of the placebo group. We conclude that the nephrotoxic side-effects of cyclosporin A treatment for 1 year are reversible. There are, however, signs of minor and perhaps chronic renal injury.     

Impaired insulin action in newly diagnosed type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus

Summary Hepatic and peripheral insulin sensitivity were investigated in five newly diagnosed Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic subjects before and after 1 week of twice daily insulin therapy. Eight weight-matched control subjects were also studied. Hepatic glucose production and glucose utilization were measured basally and during two sequential 2-h insulin (25 and 40 mU· kg^–1· h^–1)/glucose infusion periods. In the untreated hyperglycaemic diabetic patients hepatic glucose production was 16.3±2.6, 8.1±1.1 and 3.6±2.8|mol· kg^–1· min^–1 respectively for each of the three periods (mean±SEM), and fell with treatment to 12.5±1.4, 0.5±0.5 and 0.5±0.5 mol· kg^–1· min^–1. Hepatic glucose production for normal subjects was 13.4±0.7, 2.3±0.8 and <0.1 mol-kg^–1· min^–1. Glucose utilization was 12.7±1.4,18.2±0.7 and 22.1±3.4mol· kg^–1· min^–1 before treatment in the diabetic subjects, and 11.8±1.7, 20.9±3.3 and 30.1±3.6 after treatment. These values compare with those in the euglycaemic control subjects (13.4±0.7, 18.7±1.6 and 36.3±2.7 mol · kg^–1· min^–1). The pre-treatment metabolic clearance rate of glucose in all diabetic studies with insulin levels >30mU/l was 2.6 ±0.4 and rose to 3.9 ±0.5 ml· kg^–1· min^–1 following insulin therapy. This was significantly lower than in the control subjects (6.7±0.8 ml· kg^–1 · min^–1; p<0.005). Basal nonesterified fatty acid levels were high in the untreated, but normal in the treated diabetic subjects, and fell in response to insulin infusion. Basal -hydroxybutyrate levels were high in both diabetic groups, but also fell in response to insulin infusion. Erythrocyte insulin receptor binding was normal in the untreated diabetic subjects, and was not changed by treatment. Therefore, treatment of newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetic subjects with insulin reverses the hepatic insensitivity to insulin. In contrast, treatment only partially improves peripheral glucose disposal. Since erythrocyte insulin receptor binding is normal, it is likely that a post-receptor defect in peripheral glucose metabolism exists in Type 1 diabetic patients despite insulin therapy and good diabetic control for a period of 1 week.

Management of newly diagnosed non-insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes mellitus: a retrospective audit

A retrospective survey of the case records of 130 patients with newly diagnosed non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) was performed to assess the effect of 1 year of clinical attendance on blood glucose control, body weight, lipid profile and blood pressure. The mean age of these patients was 63 +/- (SE) 0.1 years and 45% were 65 years or older. Body mass index (BMI) was 28.3 +/- 0.49 kg m-2 and 72% were overweight or obese. Sixty-seven percent of the patients were hypertensive (WHO criteria). Serum cholesterol was 6.0 +/- 0.2 mmol/l, HDL cholesterol 1.0 +/- 0.0 mmol/l and triglycerides 3.14 +/- 0.29 mmol/l (non-fasting). Seventy-two percent of the patients were managed on diet alone and 23% by diet plus sulphonylurea. The remaining 5% were treated by metformin or a combination of metformin plus sulphonylurea. After one year, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1) decreased from 10.7 +/- 0.3% to 8.2 +/- 0.2% (P less than 0.01; normal less than 7.5%). The sulphonylurea groups showed similar decreases in HbA1. Overall there was a small but significant fall in BMI (-0.5 +/- 0.2 kg m-2; P less than 0.05). However, the diet treated patients showed a significant decrease in BMI (-0.8 +/- 0.3 kg m-2; P less than 0.01) whilst BMI increased in the sulphonylurea treated group (+0.7 +/- 0.2 kg m-2; P less than 0.01). Serum lipid concentrations remained unchanged in both groups. The proportion of patients with hypertension remained the same. Hence after one year of clinical attendance, HbA1 improved but there was minimal change in the associated cardiovascular risk factors.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
