Weight Gain in Early Life Predicts Risk of Islet Autoimmunity in Children With a First-Degree Relative With Type 1 Diabetes

Abstract: OBJECTIVE -In a prospective birth cohort study, we followed infants who had a firstdegree relative with type 1 diabetes to investigate the relationship between early growth and infant feeding and the risk of islet autoimmunity.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS -Infants with a first-degree relative with type 1 diabetes were identified during their mother's pregnancy. Dietary intake was recorded prospectively to determine duration of breast-feeding and age at introduction of cow's milk protein, cereals, meat, fruit, a… Show more

“…The ultimate result is increased insulitis and beta cell apoptosis and, in genetically susceptible individuals, progression to clinical type 1 diabetes transition to a full adaptive immune response [6]. If this hypothesis is correct, it may explain the parallel increase in the prevalence of childhood obesity and type 1 diabetes [55] and the predisposing role for weight gain in early life and insulin resistance in childhood/adolescence for the risk for islet autoimmunity and type 1 diabetes [56,57].…”

“…Obesity and insulin resistance may accelerate development of T1D in young predisposed individuals (9)(10)(11). On the other hand, management of T1D in severely obese individuals can be a challenge, with possible deleterious anabolic effects of intensive insulin therapy on body weight, which further exacerbates insulin resistance (11,12).…”
