Treatment of diabetes in children

Abstract: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) mellitus are on the increase in children and adolescents. An increase in T2D is linked to the increasing rates of obesity in children. Usually, in both children and adults, T1D is treated with insulin while T2D is treated with metformin. There are other classes of drugs that are under assessment for their safety and efficacy in relation to pediatric patients. Most of these new drugs, however, have not been studied in children. Thus, the repertoire of dru… Show more

“…This can reduce the impact of individual lifestyle changes such as increased exercise and improved nutrition for the treatment of T2D 14 . Despite the increase in childhood diabetes and the diverse range of oral and injectable agents available for the treatment of T2D in adults, most have not been studied in children 15 . The ability to perform long‐term interventional clinical studies in children and adolescents is limited due to insufficient pediatric trial infrastructure and inclusion/exclusion criteria that limit an already restricted participant pool 16 .…”

“…Incidence trends of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in the paediatric population show an increase in cases over the last decade in the USA and worldwide with a disproportionately higher incidence in certain ethnic minorities . Achieving glycaemic control in patients with T1DM is essential but regardless only 17% of adolescent patients with T1DM accomplish glycaemic goals with the currently available management options .…”

“…This finding suggests benefits in monitoring pediatric serum vitamin B12 level, especially when using a high dose for longer duration. This suggestion is reinforced by the increasingly common use of metformin among obese children with metabolic problems such as T2DM [ 3 , 4 , 8 , 9 , 24 ].…”
