Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators will measure blood levels of 1,5-anhydroglucitol in children with type 1 diabetes and correlate them with parameters related to functional beta-cell mass in diabetic patients. The values will be compared to those obtained in healthy volunteers. Children with newly diagnosed diabetes as well as children with longstanding disease will be included. The aim of the study is to test the validity of 1,5-anhydroglucitol as a novel biomarker of beta-cell mass and function in type 1 diabetes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

One-center prospective exploratory pilot study performed in collaboration between the Pediatric Endocrine and Diabetology unit of the University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG) and Prof. Pierre Maechler, Diabetes Center of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Geneva Switzerland.

1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), a deoxyhexose present in almost all foods and forming a stable pool in human subjects, has recently been found to be correlated with functional beta-cell mass in two different mouse models of beta-cell dysfunction leading to diabetes. The decline of this biomarker precedes the development of hyperglycemia in lean b-Phb2 -/- and obese db/db diabetic mice, where beta-cell loss occurs through two different mechanisms.

Additional studies have shown a correlation of 1,5-AG levels with risk of progression of type 1 diabetes (T1DM) in auto-antibody positive children, as well as with glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The present project will analyse the correlation between functional beta-cell mass and the circulating levels of 1,5-AG in children with T1DM. This should contribute to the evaluation of a novel biomarker of beta-cell mass and function in T1DM.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Newly diagnosed patients with T1DM

The investigators will do prospective measures in 10 to 15 children aged 2 to 18 years, at the time of diagnosis, four months after diagnosis and one year after diagnosis.

Measurement of blood levels of 1,5-anhydroglucitol

Intervention Type OTHER

Measurement of blood levels of 1,5-anhydroglucitol

Patients with T1DM of different duration

As the functional beta-cell mass gradually declines as disease duration increases, the investigators will do measurements in a cohort of children aged ≤ 18 years, with increasing diabetes duration. The investigators plan to analyze groups of 5 patients with a disease duration of 3 (36 - 47 months), 5 (60 - 71 months) and 10 years (120 - 131 months), respectively.
