Aims/Introduction: The Thai Type 1 Diabetes and Diabetes Diagnosed Before Age 30 Years Registry, Care and Network was established in 2014 and involved 31 hospitals. The objective of the registry was to evaluate glycemic control and complications of patients with type 1 diabetes. Materials and Methods: Patients' demographics, clinical data, frequencies of daily selfmonitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), glycemic control and complications were collected. Results: Among the 1,907 type 1 diabetes patients, the mean age was 21.2-11.3 years. The mean glycated hemoglobin level was 9.35-2.41%, with significant variations among age groups (P < 0.001). Conventional insulin treatment and intensive insulin treatment were used in 43 and 57% of patients, respectively. Mean glycated hemoglobin levels were significantly higher in patients treated with conventional insulin treatment compared to those treated with intensive insulin treatment (9.63-2.34 vs 9.17-2.46%, P = 0.002). Compared to the conventional insulin treatment group, significantly more patients in the intensive insulin treatment group achieved good glycemic control (P < 0.001), and fewer had diabetic retinopathy (P = 0.031). The prevalence of microvascular complications increased significantly with age (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed good glycemic control to be associated with age 25 to <45 years, intensive insulin treatment with SMBG three or more times daily and diabetes duration of 1 to <5 years. Conclusions: Most Thai type 1 diabetes patients were not meeting the recommended glycemic target. As a result of this study, the national program to improve the quality of diabetes treatment and education has been implemented, and the results are ongoing.
Serum Gpc4 levels were increased with increasing degrees of obesity. There were no differences in serum Gpc4 levels among glucose metabolism categories.
Serum FGF21 level was highest in obese children with the highest insulin resistance or abnormal glucose tolerance. Log serum FGF21 was not correlated with serum adiponectin. Changes in serum FGF21 levels during the OGTT were observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
