History Taking (Subjective) History of illness was taken from the parents. 1. History of present illness Chief complaint: high blood glucose level Patient was referred from T State Hospital with diagnosis of post diabetic ketoacidosis. She was referred for further management of blood sugar. Patient arrived at pediatric emergency unit with chief complaint of high blood sugar initially noticed since 4 days before admission to hospital. At that time, she was taken to T Hospital due to weakness of the body and decrease of consciousness. After being treated for four days, her condition improved but the blood glucose remained high. The measurement of her blood sugar at the time of admission to T Hospital was 749 mg/dL. Weakness of her body was noticed two days before admission to T Hospital. Her parents said that at home she would most likely lie down in
1
bed. She remained alert and responsive but was unable to walk even to the bathroom. There was no history of stomachache, vomiting, nor shortness of breath before nor during that period of treatment. Upon arrival to our hospital, she appeared alert and conscious, she responded adequately to her surroundings. Her parents noticed that she has been experiencing an increase of urination since 1 month before admission to hospital. In one day she would urinate up to 6-7 times. She would wake up at night frequently to just go to the bathroom. Her parents noticed decreased appetite since the fever started. Before these symptoms occur, she could eat about 1,5 portions of rice with the accompanying meals. She would regularly eat three times daily. This eating habit started since approximately 1 year ago, and due to that eating habit her parents noticed her figure appeared overweight. However, since her condition deteriorated she only managed to eat half a portion of meals. Her figure was said to appear thinner significantly since approximately 1 month ago. At that time they said her appetite had not changed. However, they noticed she appears much thinner since her appetite decreased 5 days prior to admission, but they never measure her body weight before. She started menstruating since the age of … teratur/tidak? History of snoring during sleeping is denied. 2. History of past illness Patient had never experienced similar complaints like this one previously. Her parents were aware that her development was unlike other children. She was admitted to T Hospital due to decrease of consciousness and high blood sugar level. She was treated for diabetic ketoacidosis at that hospital for 4 days, before being referred to our hospital. The treatment given to her included: cefotaxime 500 mg three times daily (iv) (given
2
for 4 days), ranitidine 1 ampoule twice daily (iv), and insulin drip 2 units/hours (iv). 3. Family medical history Patient is the third child of four siblings. All her siblings are healthy. They are 22 years old, 18 years old, and 10 years old. All her siblings are able to interact appropriately with her. There are no family members who have similar complaint. No family history of diabetes mellitus or other diseases such as hypertension, pulmonary disease, kidney disease, and liver disease were reported. 4. Social history 1. Prenatal history She was born from a 22-year old mother with full term pregnancy. Her mother had antenatal care with a midwife at least 4 times throughout her pregnancy. Mother only took vitamin supplements without any other medication. Her blood pressure was always normal, so was her blood sugar level. There was no history of X-ray exposure, fever, rash, pain, edema, and other illness during pregnancy. Conclusion: no problem appeared during pregnancy. 2. Intranatal history She was born by spontaneous vaginal delivery, assisted by doctor in a hospital. She was vigorous and her birth weight was 3350 grams. No history of shortness of breath, cyanotic, and jaundice were reported. Conclusion: no problem appeared during delivery. 3. Postnatal history She was able to suck breast milk immediately after birth. No history of hospitalization due to jaundice, seizure, nor bleeding was reported. Conclusion: no problem appeared during postnatal period. 4. Nutritional history She was exclusively breastfed for six months and continued until 24 months. She started to eat soft food at the age of 6 months old, steamed rice at the age of 9 months old, and adult food at the age of 12 months old. The food combination mainly consists of white meat,
3
fish, vegetables, and fruits. She was thought to be allergic to eggs due to experiencing itchiness of the skin after every time consuming eggs. Prior to admission, her appetite was said to have decreased. She usually ate one and half portion of rice but before admission she only managed to eat half portion of rice in every mealtime with half a piece of fried tempe and chicken. She ate 3 times the day prior to admission. The calorie intake for 24 hours was 1770 kcal/day. Calories fulfilled were 54% of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA). Conclusion: decreased food intake. 5. Growth and development history Her body weight was reported to increase throughout her growth. Since she was 8 years old, her parents notice her body seemed overweight compared to other children her age. However, they never measure her body weight so they cannot be precisely sure of how much weight she has lost after she became ill. Her parents notice her figure is shorter than other children her age, but they also never measure her height routinely. Her parents understand that she had a delayed development history. She started to be able to stand up at the age of 16 month, and started walking at the age of 18 months. She was only able to speak a few words at the age of 3 years old. Currently, she is able to speak simple words like mentioning her name (“Mang”), calling her parents (“Pak”, “Ibu”), or asking for food, and occasionally she can form a simple sentence. She entered school for children with special needs until 5th grade. She isn’t generally physically active. She prefers to sit down in front of the television and watch television programs in most of her hours at home. She is not fond of physical activities such as playing outside the house or being involved in outdoor games with her peers. Conclusion: weight loss was noticed, although not objectively measured. There is delayed development, which was 6. Immunization history
4
History of immunization is as follows: BCG once with scar (1 month old), DPT 3 times (2, 3, 4 months old), Hepatitis B 4 times (0, 2, 3, 4 months old), Polio 4 times (0, 2, 3, 4 months old), and measles once (9 months). Her mother couldn’t recall her having a booster immunization at age 18 months. She did recalled her having one immunization at school which was MR (1 year ago), but she had not had her JE immunization. Conclusion: immunization status is not appropriate with the basic immunization requirements. 7. Basic needs history Stimulation
: she receives sufficient stimulation from her parents. She is able to get along well with her peers. She attended school for children with special needs at the age of 8 years old and stayed in school until Grade 5, after which she dropped out of school due to being unhappy because her friends were said to be mean to her. Her last day at school was over 1 year ago. Since then she was given stimulation at home by her parents.

Resume A 14 year 7 months old boy was referred from T State Hospital with diagnosis of post diabetic ketoacidosis. She was referred for further management of blood sugar. Patient with chief complaint of high blood sugar initially noticed since 4 days before admission to hospital. At that time, she was taken to T Hospital due to weakness of the body and decrease of consciousness. After being treated for three days, her condition improved but the blood glucose remained high. The measurement of her blood sugar at the time of admission to T Hospital was 749 mg/dL. Weakness of her body was noticed two days before admission to T Hospital. Her parents noticed that she has been experiencing an increase of urination since 1 month before admission to hospital. In one day she would urinate up to 6-7 times. Her parents noticed decreased appetite since
10
the fever started. Before these symptoms occur, she could eat about 1,5 portions of rice with the accompanying meals. She would regularly eat three times daily. This eating habit started since approximately 1 year ago, and due to that eating habit her parents noticed her figure appeared overweight. On physical examination, he appeared in moderately ill, level of consciousness was 15/15, blood pressure was 100/70 mmHg (50-90th percentile), pulse rate was 98 beats/minute, regular, good pulse quality, respiratory rate was 24 times/minute, regular, axillary temperature was 36.8°C, and he’s well nourished based on Waterlow’s nutritional status. A significant laboratory finding revealed Hb-A1c level 12,6%.
VI.
Workup Diagnosis Suspect type 1 diabetes mellitus (E10) dd type 2 diabetes mellitus (E11), Clinically down syndrome (Q90), Acute kidney injury stage injury (N17), well nourished.
VII.
Problems a. At this moment 1. Diagnosis To establish the definitive diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and Clinically down syndrome in this patient. 2. Management a. Management of insulin regiment. b. Nutrition management. c. Self-monitoring of blood glucose. d. Clinically down syndrome management. 3. Complications a. Patient could suffered retinopathy. b. Patient could suffered neuropathy. c. Patient could suffered nephropathy.
11
4. Prognosis a. Routine monitoring of the HbA1C. b. The possibility of experiencing growth and developmental problem. 5. Prevention Prevention of ketoacidosis diabetic and hypoglicemia b. Long term 1. Management of diabetes mellitus in long term, treatment compliance, drug adverse event, complication, risk of growth and development impairment. 2. Intervention and stimulation focused on language sector to reach normal milestone of development. 3. Psychological impact and quality of life of children and their parents. Some of these issues will be solved by journal searching using evidence based medicine (EBM) method.
VIII. Planning 1. Medical treatment plan with insulin i.
Management of type 2 diabetes uses basal bolus insulin administration. Provision of insulin with an initial dose of 0.05 IU/kg/hour. Preferred insulin is Humalog insulin which is a rapid acting insulin. Currently the dose of insulin is still being adjusted.
ii.
sodium replacement based on laboratory monitoring. Potassium replacement in patients is carried out carefully according to serum potassium levels and urine production. KCL drip is given at a dose of 0,5 mmol / kg body weight / hour.
2. Nutrition management and dietary regulation in type I diabetes mellitus Provision of nutrition with calculation of caloric needs based on RDA according to ideal body weight based on height on WHO Growth Chart.
12
Calorie distribution in 24 hours given 3 times the main meal and 3 times snack as follows: 20% of breakfast, 10% in the form of snacks, 25% in the form of lunch, 10% of snacks, 25% of dinner, 10% of snacks. Dietary composition of carbohydrate 50%, 35% fat, and 15% protein. Recommended diet is high in fiber and contains a low glycemic index. 3. Planning monitoring a. Monitoring of short-term complications that can occur in people with type 2 DM include DKA, hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. The occurrence of short-term complications above is associated with a monitor of glucose levels that must be done continously. There are two ways to monitor daily glucose levels, namely Self monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG) and Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS). Monitoring Blood Glucose is with intermittent blood glucose monitor generally 2 - 6 times per day. b. Monitoring and treatment of long-term complications of type 2 diabetes melitus - HbA1c examination every 3 months for monitoring of metabolic conditions. - Monitoring the risk of comorbidities including macrovascular and microvascular complications. - Monitoring of macrovascular complications such as hypertension and lipid profile. Screening of hypertension by measuring the blood pressure since diagnosed and monitored every time of follow up. If the hypertension diagnosed, ACE inhibitor is the drug of choice. Screening of lipid profile is proceed as soon as 2 years after diagnosis confirmed, if the result normal, it can be repeated every 5 year. - Monitoring of microvascular complications such as retinopathy (eyes evaluation screening every year or more often if any risk of blindness), nephropathy (evaluate 2 years after the diagnosis confirmed, monitoring every year, with urine examination for
13
microalbuminuria) and diabetic neuropathy (as soon as 2 years after diagnosis confirmed, monitoring the clinical sign every year, with clinical evaluation) and other complications including growth disorders, puberty disorders, osteopenia and cataracts. c.
Diagnosis of clinically down syndrome -
Intervention with chromosome examination
-
Monitoring patient with developmental evaluation tool to determine outcome of the therapy
4. Communication, information and education plan
a. Education about basic knowledge of type 1 or type 2 DM, management
of
type
(administration, type,
2 diabetes mellitus side effect,
includes
insulin
adjustment dose), eating
arrangements, exercise, emergency treatment of type 2 DM complication (hypoglicemia, insulin administration during sickness) and independent monitoring (home monitoring).
b. Exercise will help the patient to achieve ideal weight, increase heart capacity, reduce the occurrence of long-term complications, help the body's metabolism work that can reduce insulin demand. Monitoring for the possibility of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia during or after activities is required.
c. Self monitoring is necessary because diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease and requires lifelong treatment. Monitoring blood glucose levels using home made tools is important to adjust daily insulin requirements.
d. The parents should be educate about how to keep maintaining the stimulation and routinely take the patient to do milestone evaluation to detect further problem and determine the treatment outcome.
5. Long-term prognosis Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease with a good prognosis if the patient in good metabolic control.
14
6. Growth and development of the patient Long-term problems of type 2 diabetes mellitus are not only about the disease, but also the impact of patient’s growth and development. Developmental screening tools showed communication disorder and needed some intervention. Parents role to intervening patients should be optimized by education. The outcome is patient able to cath up the normal development milestone.

XIII. Case Analysis Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disorder of the metabolic homeostasis controlled by insulin resulting in abnormalities of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. There are two main types of diabetes mellitus: Type 1 diabetes ( also called juvenile-onset diabetes melitus and insulin-dependent diabets melitus), is caused by an absolute insulin deficiency, the result of a loss of the insulin insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. Type 2 diabetes, also called non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), is caused by decreased sensitivity of target tissues to insulin. The effect of lack insulin or insulin resistance on glucose metabolism is to prevent the efficient uptake and utilization of glucose by most cells of the body, except those of the brain. As a result, blood glucose concentration will increase, cell utilization of glucose falls increasingly lower and utilization of fats and proteins increases.1,2 According to the American Diabetes Association criteria for diabetes melitus is confirmed if fulfilled one of the criteria: 1.Clinical manifestation of polyuria, polydipsi, ployfagia, nocturia, enuresis, weight loss, random boold glucose ≥ 200mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L), or 2. Fasting blood glucose ≥126 mg/dL(7 mmol/L), or 3. Plasma blood glucose ≥ 200mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) on oral glucose tolerance test, or 4. The level of HbA1c > 6.5%. Asymptomatic patient with increase random blood glucose level ≥ 200mg/dL need to be confirmed with fasting blood glucose or with oral glucose tolerance test.3 The distinction between T1DM and T2DM may not be apparent until insulin requirements have declined significantly. Distinguishing children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) from those with T2DM may be difficult.
Increasing obesity in the general population further blurs the
distinction between T1DM and T2DM in children. C-peptide is a useful and widely used method of assessing pancreatic beta cell function. C-peptide has been shown to denote endogenous insulin production and correlates with type of disease, duration of diabetes, as well as age of diagnosis. In insulintreated individuals, fCP less than 0.2 nmol/L and GST of less than 0.32
nmol/l have been found to correlate significantly with T1DM.3 In this case, the patient is a 14 years 7 month old female came to hospital with chief complain high with glucose, patient also complained always feel thirsty and hungry with random plasma glucose was 473 mg/dL. From other laboratory examination found with HbA1c 12,6 %, and C-peptide level 1.8 ng/mL. Patient diagnosed by type 2 diabetes mellitus. T2DM results from an interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Genes and the environment together are important determinants of insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction. Changes in the gene pool cannot account for the rapid increase in prevalence of T2DM in recent decades, environmental changes are essential to the understanding of the epidemic. Risk factors of diabetes melitus are obesity, family with diabetes, low birth weight, sedentary lifestyles etc.3 Based on this problems we was conducted searches for the journal to determine risk factors of diabets melitus type 2. We found a journal entitled “Risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus: An exposure-wide umbrella review of metaanalyses ” Vanesa B, Lazaros B , Ioanna T, Evangelos E. Plosone. 13 (3): e0194127. This journal was valid, important and applicable (level of evidence 1A and grade of recommendation A). Based on this journal, Adiposity, low hip circumference,
serum
biomarkers
(increased
level
of
alanine
aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, uric acid and C-reactive protein, and decreased level of adiponectin and vitamin D), an unhealthy dietary pattern, low level of education and conscientiousness, decreased physical activity, high sedentary time and duration of television watching, low alcohol drinking, smoking, air pollution, and some medical conditions (high systolic blood pressure, late menarche age, gestational diabetes, metabolic syndrome, preterm birth) presented robust evidence for increased risk of T2DM. In the case, the patient had history of obesity, her father suffered from diabetes, unhealthy dietary pattern and sedentary lifestyles. Management of type 2 diabetes in youth, consist of acute and long term management. The treatment approach to alleviate insulin resistance and β-cell failure, achieve glycemic control, and prevent further
complications.5,6,7,8 Management of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) from the American Academy of Pediatrics in children and adolescents consist of six recommendations.5 The first recommendation, insulin therapy is initiated for children and adolescents with T2DM who are ketotic or in diabetic ketoacidosis and in whom the distinction between types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus is unclear and, in usual cases, should initiate insulin therapy for patients (a) who have random venous or plasma BG concentrations ≥250 mg/dL, or (b) whose HbA1c is >9%.5 In this case, The patient had random BG concentrations ≥250 mg/dL (473 mg/dL) and HbA1c 12,6 %, patient got metformin 500 mg every 12 hours and insulin lantus 10 unit at night. We performed journal searching to find out the medical treatment for children with diabetes melitus type 2 and found evidence-based journal entitled “Treatment of pediatric type 2 diabetes” by Smith et al. 2016. This journal was valid, important, and applicable (level of evidence 1a, grade of recommendation A). Based on this journal, we concluded that metformin and insulin are the main treatment in children with diabetes melitus. The second recommendation, in all other instances, clinicians should initiate a lifestyle modification program, including nutrition and physical activity, and start metformin as first-line therapy for children and adolescents at the time of diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. In this case, diagnosis of type 2 diabetes is made, with history signs of ketotic or diabetic ketoacidosis, with blood plasma glucose 473 mg/dL and HbA1c 12,6 %. The patient were treated with metformin previously a year ago with metformin and on current admission the patient treated with metformin and insulin. Patient was ancouraged to do lifestyle modification (especially diet modification and exercise). The third recommendation, the committee suggests that clinicians monitor HbA1c concentrations every 3 months and intensify treatment if treatment goals for finger-stick BG and HbA1c concentrations are not being met.1 The fourth recommendation, the committee suggests that clinicians advise patients to monitor finger-stick BG concentrations in patients who (a)
are taking insulin or other medications with a risk of hypoglycemia,or (b) are initiating or changing their diabetes treatment regimen, or (c) have not met treatment goals, or (d) have intercurrent illnesses. Self monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) should be performed regularly. The frequency of self monitoring depends on the target fasting blood glucose and target of HbA1C. Patient with basal bolus regiment need to monitor blood glucose>3 times a day. During acute illness or when symptoms of hyper- or hypoglycemia occur, patients should perform more frequent testing and be in contact with their diabetes care team for advice. Patients on insulin or sulfonylureas need to monitor for asymptomatic hypoglycemia.6 In this case, since it was first established with type 2 diabetes, parents are taught to perform self monitoring of blood glucose by using finger-stick blood glucose test. At this time we initiating the diabetes treatment regimen so self monitoring of blood glucose is performed by parents and patient. The fifth recommendation, the committee suggests that clinicians incorporate the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Pediatric Weight Management Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guidelines in their dietary or nutrition counseling of patients with T2DM at the time of diagnosis and as part of ongoing management.5 Nutritional management is one most important of diabetes care and education. Dietary recommendations for children with diabetes are based on healthy eating recommendations suitable for all children and adults and therefore the whole family. Nutritional advice must be adapted to cultural, ethnic and family traditions, and the psychosocial needs of the individual child.Energy requirement for the patient is based on Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA). Allocation of the calories per 24 hours divided into thrice main food, and thrice snack as follows 20% for breakfast, 10% snack, 25% for lunch, 10% snack, 25% for dinner and 10% snack. Recommended calories composition are 50-55% from carbohydrate, 15-20% from protein, 25-35% from fat.9 Dietary management should include, (i) initial focus on eliminating sugar-containing soft drinks and juices in large quantities, (ii) increase fruits and vegetables food, (iii) recommending that meals should
be taken on schedule, in one place, with no other activity (television, studying, reading, playing), preferably as a family unit, (iv) portion control. Food and snacks should be served in a plate or bowl and not eaten directly from a box or can, (v) limiting availability of high-fat, high caloric density food and drink in the home, the reading of labels and control of purchasing, (vi) encouraging positive reinforcement of minor achievement (e.g. no or minimal weight gain, reduction in high caloric drinks) and avoiding blame for failure.3,6,7.10,11 The sixth recommendation, the committee suggests that clinicians encourage children and adolescents with T2DM to engage in moderate-tovigorous exercise for at least 60 minutes daily and to limit nonacademic “screen time” to less than 2 hours a day.5 In this case, she was taught to do more physical activity both at home and outside home. If there is free time at home, she was asked to help clean the house, more playing in the yard, and reduce watching TV or playing a computer which is not related to education. On weekends (Saturday and Sunday) children are invited to swim or exercise in the field so she can increase her physical activity. The longterm vascular complications of diabetes include retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy and macrovascular disease. The outcomes are: visual impairment and blindness due to diabetic retinopathy, renal failure and hypertension due to diabetic nephropathy, pain, paraesthesiae, muscle weakness and autonomic dysfunction due to diabetic neuropathy, cardiac disease, peripheral vascular disease and stroke due to macrovascular disease.6,7,8,12 Complication testing specific to type 2 diabetes mellitus in young people: Testing for either micro or macro-albuminuria, should be performed at the time of diagnosis and annually thereafter, blood pressure should be monitored at every visit according to standardized techniques specific for children, testing for dyslipidemia should be performed soon after diagnosis when BG control has been achieved and annually thereafter, hyperlipidemia should also be managed with a goal of LDL 100 mg/dL, triglycerides 150 mg/dL, and HDL 35 mg/dL, evaluation for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
(NAFLD) should be done at diagnosis and annually thereafter, inquiries about puberty, menstrual irregularities and obstructive sleep apnea should be made at diagnosis and regularly thereafter, Female patient with diabetes melitus has higher possibility to have vaginal candidiasis. Examination for retinopathy should be performed at diagnosis and annually thereafter.6,7,12 In this case, Based on anamnesis, history of blurred vision, snoring during sleep, sleepy during the morning or at school, of pain, paraesthesiae, muscle weakness and autonomic dysfunction were denied. On physical examination, we did not found the presence of hypertension. In the urine examination there were no presence of protein in the urine, the renal function tests are also still in the normal range. On examination of the lipid profile was also obtained in the normal range. In this case, the patient had candidiasis vulvovaginitis but has not found signs and symptoms of microvascular complications (retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy) or macrovascular complications (cardiac disease, peripheral vascular disease, and stroke). Monitoring of these complications be done regularly to prevent the complications. Complications due to macrovascular disease is associated with hypertension, high blood sugar levels which are not controlled and the duration of diabetes, based on this problems we was conducted searches for the journal to determine the parameters/ indicators in adolescents with type 2 diabetes which are associated with cardiovascular complications. We found a journal entitled “Clinical and Biochemical Predictors of Increased Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Overweight and Obese Adolescents with Type 2 Diabetes ” Nesreen A Kotb, Rania Gaber, Mai Salama, Hala M Nagy and Abdou Elhendy Diabetes & Vascular Disease Research 9(1) 35–41.This journal was valid, important and applicable (level of evidence 3b and grade of recommendation C). Based on this journal, carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is increased in adolescents with type 2 diabetes. Poor glycemic control, HOMA, increased C-reactive protein, body mass index, duration of diabetes, and elevated blood pressure are associated with early atherosclerosis in these patients
Diabetes could bring psychosocial problems to the patient and family. Education about the disease that diabetes mellitus is a life time disease, the important of long term and routine follow up, takes time, patience and cost. Patients with diabetes required long-term treatment and collaboration of various modalities. The smaller age of occurrence of DM will have a higher likelihood of complications if the patient has no treatment adherence. Where a child will be difficult to adjust the diet so that the complication of the disease more quickly arise due to uncontrolled blood glucose. Based on these issues we conducted evidence-based journal searches and found a journal entitled “Health-related Quality of life of Children and Adolescents with Type 1 or type 2 Diabetes Melitus” by Michelle JN et al. Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 2008. This journal was valid, important and applicable (level of evidence 3b and grade of recommendation C). Based on this journal, we concluded that among with youths with type 2 DM, HRQOl was lower compared with those with type 1 diabetes.

EVIDENCE-BASED CRITICAL APPRAISAL
CASE A 1 year 11 months old boy was referred from private hospital in rural area with suspected Diabetes Mellitus type 1. The patient’s family had complained about high blood glucose level since 10 days before admitted to the hospital about weight loss since a month before admitted to the hospital. High blood glucose level was first determined at the private hospital when he was admitted due to decreased of consciousness. He also had frequent urination since three weeks before admitted to the hospital. Frequent urination occured especially at night, the frequency increased twice than before. He frequently felt thirsty and drank plenty amount of water. His mother had complained of delayed speech. The patient can only speak one specific word (“ma-em”) which his mother recognized it as a delay compared to other children at his age. On physical examination, he appeared in moderatelly ill, level of consciousness was 12/12, blood pressure was 100/60 mmHg (90-95th percentile), pulse rate was 110 beats/minute, regular, good pulse quality, respiratory rate was 24 times/minute, regular, axillary temperature was 36,8°C, and he’s well nourished based on Waterlow’s nutritional status. A significant laboratory finding revealed Hb-A1c level 10,8%. C-peptide <0,1 %.

CLINICAL QUESTION In children with type 1 diabetes mellitus, is insulin detemir compared to NPH (Neutral protamine Hagedorn) improving glycaemic control? JOURNAL SEARCHING STRATEGY Keywords: type 1 diabetes mellitus AND detemir AND NPH AND glycaemic control. RESULT “Insulin analogues in children with type 1 diabetes:a 52-week randomized clincal trial” N. Thalange, A. Bereket, J. Larsen, C. Hiort and V. Peterkova. Diabetic Medicine. 2013;30:216–25.
ABSTRACT Background: The challenge of achieving good glycaemic control is more difficult in children and adolescents compared with adults because of the characteristics of the paediatric population. Consequently, an ideal insulin regimen would be flexible and predictable, whilst protecting against hypoglycaemia and inappropriate weight. The aim of the current study was to establish the efficacy and safety of insulin detemir in children aged 2–16 years with Type 1 diabetes over 52 weeks of treatment. Methods:
A randomized, multinational, open-label, parallel-group, non-
inferiority trial investigated the efficacy and safety of basal–bolus treatment with insulin detemir vs. NPH (neutral protamine Hagedorn) insulin, in combination with insulin aspart. Children with Type 1 diabetes for at least 12 months (n = 347), aged 2–16 years was randomized, 177 received insulin detemir and 170
NPH insulin, both administered once or twice daily in combination with mealtime insulin aspart. Glycaemic measurements and weight were followed over 52 weeks. Results After 52 weeks, insulin detemir was shown to be non-inferior to NPH insulin with regard to HbA1c [mean difference insulin detemir–NPH: 1.30 mmol/mol, 95% CI –1.32 to 3.92 (0.12%, 95% CI –0.12 to 0.36) in the full analysis set and 1.41 mmol/mol, 95% CI –1.26 to 4.08 (0.13%, 95% CI –0.12 to 0.37) in the per protocol analysis set]. Hypoglycaemic events per subject-year of exposure of 24-h and nocturnal hypoglycaemia were significantly lower with insulin detemir than with NPH insulin (rate ratio 0.76, 95% CI 0.60–0.97, P = 0.028 and 0.62, 95% CI 0.47–0.84, P = 0.002, respectively). Weight standard deviation (SD) scores (body weight standardized by age and gender) decreased with insulin detemir, but increased slightly with NPH insulin (change: –0.12 vs. 0.04, P < 0.001). At end of the trial, median insulin doses were similar in both treatment groups. Conclusions Insulin detemir was non-inferior to NPH insulin after 52 weeks treatment of children and adolescents aged 2–16 years, and was associated with a significantly lower risk of hypoglycaemia, together with significantly lower weight SD score when compared with NPH insulin.

J Diabetes Metab.2017;8:379-84.
ABSTRACT: Background: An interaction between genetic susceptibility and environmental factors is assumed to be elaborate in the etiology of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Autoimmunity may be induced in first years of life, suggesting that
environmental agents encountered early in life could be triggers of the disease process. The aim of the study was therefore to investigate the associations of T1DM with several environmental factors. Methods: A case-control study was conducted in Minia University Maternity and Children Hospital, Minia governorate, Egypt. One hundred and ten children aged from 2-16 years old who were diagnosed with T1DM and 110 age and sexmatched controls were included. Data regarding environmental factors during gestation, neonatal period, and early years of life were collected by a structured questionnaire. Results: On multivariable logistic regression analysis, maternal age >35 years at delivery, the presence of gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia and taking medications during pregnancy were significantly associated with the occurrence of T1DM. Also, viral infection in early life, low birth weight children (<2500 grams) and those who suffered from neonatal diseases (respiratory distress, jaundice, and infection) were 4.71 and 2.17 folds increased the risk of T1DM. Consumption of cow's milk during the 1st year of life was a significant predictor for developing T1DM with OR 3.83 (1.64-8.96), However, vitamin D supplement and increased duration of breast feeding were significant protective factors. Conclusions: n the present study, certain environmental risk factors were associated with the development of T1DM.

JOURNAL SEARCHING STRATEGY Keywords children AND type 1 diabetes AND glycaemic control RESULT Glycaemic Control in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Among Children and Adolescents in a Resource Limited Setting in Dar es Salaam - Tanzania” Noorani M, Ramaiya K, Manji K. BMC Endocrine Disorders. 2016;16(29):1-8.
ABSTRACT Background: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is a rapidly growing problem in Tanzania. Children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes have previously been found to have poor glycaemic control and high prevalence of complications. Strict glycaemic control reduces the incidence and progression of chronic complications. The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with glycaemic control among children and adolescents. Methods: A cross sectional study was done at the diabetes clinic for children and adolescents. Data on socioeconomic, demographic and diabetes specific variables
including adherence, diabetes knowledge, caregivers knowledge and their involvement in the care of the child was obtained. Glycaemic control was assessed by measuring glycosylated hemoglobin. (HbA1C). Linear regression analysis was done to determine factors associated with glycaemic control Results: Seventy-five participants were recruited into the study (51 % males). The mean HbA1c was 11.1 ± 2.1 %. Children aged <10 years were found to have a significantly better glycaemic control (9.8 %) as compared to 10–14 year olds (11.5 %) and >14 year olds (11.4 %) (P value = 0.022). Sixty-eight percent of patients had good adherence to insulin while adherence to blood glucose monitoring regimen was 48 % and to diet control was 28 %. Younger age, having the mother as the primary caregiver, better caregiver knowledge of diabetes, better adherence to blood glucose monitoring regimen and diabetes duration of less than 1 year were associated with better glycaemic control. In multivariate analysis, age, adherence to blood glucose monitoring regimen and the mother as the primary caregiver were found to independently predict glycaemic control (R2 = 0.332, p value = 0.00). Conclusions: Children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes in Dar es Salaam have poor glycaemic control. In order to improve metabolic control, adherence to blood glucose monitoring should be encouraged and caregivers encouraged to participate in care of their children especially the adolescents

CLINICAL QUESTION In children with type 1 diabetes mellitus, how is their quality of life? JOURNAL SEARCHING STRATEGY Keywords: Children AND Type 1 diabetes mellitus AND quality of life RESULT “Quality of life in children with type 1 diabetes in Kuwait” M Abdul-Rasoul, F AlOtaibi, M AlMahdi, H AlKandari Med Princ Pract 2013;22:379-384. ABSTRACT Background: The development and use of pediatric HRQoL measures are important for identifying at-risk children and applying early intervention programs. the main aim of modern diabetes care in children and adolescents has changed from a purely medical approach to one aiming toward optimal glycemic control, normal psychological development and maximum QoL. To evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) in Kuwait using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 4.0 Generic Core Scale and PedsQL 3.0 Diabetes Module, and to identify the risk factors associated with unsatisfactory QoL and their effects on metabolic control.
Methods: A total of 436 patients (2–18 years) with T1DM (>6 months) and 389 healthy controls, with the parents of both groups, completed the Arabic Generic Core Scale. Those with T1DM also completed the Arabic Diabetes Module. Results: The mean total score of the PedsQL Diabetes Module was 70.2 ± 9.8 reported by children and 59.9 ± 11.1 reported by parents (higher scores indicate better QoL). Young age and long duration of diabetes were associated with poor QoL (p < 0.001). Boys had better total scores than girls in most age groups (70.3 ± 9.3 vs. 52.3 ± 7.2, p < 0.001); however, girls did better than boys regarding treatment barriers and adherence (71.3 ± 7.8 vs. 68.1 ± 6.2, p < 0.005). High er HbA1c values were associated with lower QoL scores (31.1 ± 5.1 at HbA1c of 15% vs. 82.5 ± 6.1 at HbA1c of 6%, p < 0.0001). Conclusions: HRQoL of children and adolescents with T1DM was consistently poorer than controls. Parents consistently reported poorer QoL scores than their children. We recommend that more support should be provided for the care of children with diabetes in Kuwait.
