Der Gestationsdiabetes ist eine der häufigsten Erkrankungen in der Schwangerschaft. Obwohl der Zusammenhang zwischen den Blutzuckerwerten und der Morbidität der Schwangeren und des Kindes hinreichend belegt ist, gibt es bemerkenswert viele klinisch relevante Fragen, die bisher nur unzureichend untersucht wurden. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit einigen Fragestellungen aus diesem Themenbereich, unter Einbeziehung einer neuen Methode der Glukosemessung, der kontinuierlichen Glukosemessung. In Deutschland wird in der Schwangerschaft lediglich ein Urin-Stix als Screening-Methode auf Gestationsdiabetes durchgeführt. Die wenigen Publikationen, die sich mit der Sensitivität des Urin-Stix zur Detektion des Gestationsdiabetes beschäftigen, zeigen eine nur geringe Sensitivität. Die in unserem Hause durchgeführte Untersuchung an 1001 Schwangeren bestätigt die bisherigen Ergebnisse an einer großen Fallzahl und weist zudem noch eine deutliche Abhängigkeit der Glukosurie-Rate von den diastolischen Blutdruckwerten nach. Eine weitere Untersuchung wurde zu dem 50-g-Glukose-Screeningtests durchgeführt, den wir seit 1993 routinemäßig bei allen Schwangeren durchführen, die sich in unserer Klinik vorstellen. Mit einer Sensitivität und Spezifität von ca. 90% - bezogen auf den oralen Glukosetoleranztest - zeigte dieser Test ein gutes Ergebnis, allerdings fanden wir heraus, dass die Rate positiver Ergebnisse von dem Zeitpunkt der vorangegangenen Mahlzeit abhängig ist und zwischen 11%-40% liegt. Bisher konnte kein Nachweis erbracht werden, dass die einem oralen Glukosetoleranztest (oGTT) vorangehende Kohlenhydratzufuhr bei Schwangeren einen Einfluss auf die Ergebnisse hat, wie es die Empfehlungen der Fachgesellschaften vermuten. In der von uns durchgeführten Studie, bei der wir - im Gegensatz zu den anderen Studien - detallierte Ernährungsprotokolle verwendeten, konnte diese Vermutung bestätigt werden. Aufgrund erhöhter Konzentrationen an Gestagen, Östrogenen und dem humanen Plazentalaktogen wurde häufig vermutet, dass Schwangere mit Gemini eher einen Gestationsdiabetes haben müssten. Wir konnten dies in einer Matched-Pair-Studie widerlegen. Die kontinuierliche Glukosemessung erlaubte neue Einblicke in die Physiologie und Pathophysiologie der Schwangerschaft. Nachdem wir zunächst ein Auswertungsverfahren etabliert hatten, wurden Schwangere mit und ohne Glukosetoleranzstörung mit Hilfe des kontinuierlichen Glukosemonitors der Fa. MedtronicMinimed (CGMS) untersucht. Es zeigte sich, dass das CGMS eine deutlich bessere Differenzierung zwischen den Gesunden und den Schwangeren mit eingeschränkter Glukosetoleranz ermöglichte, dies im Gegensatz zum konventionellen Blutzuckertagesprofil. In einer weiteren Auswertung untersuchten wir den Zusammenhang zwischen der mütterlichen sowie der neonatalen Morbidität und den einzelnen postprandialen Messzeitpunkten. Es zeigten sich signifikante Unterschiede der Glukosewerte für die Schwangerschaftsausgangsparameter Entbindungsmodus, Makrosomie und fetale Verlegungsrate im postprandialen Zeitintervall von 45-105 Minuten. Erstmalig konnten wir so die Assoziation zwischen neonatalen Morbiditäten und den postprandialen Glukosekonzentrationen zu verschiedenen Messzeitpunkten nachweisen. / Gestational diabetes is the most common complication during pregnancies. Although the correlation has been clearly established between blood glucose levels and morbidity rates for both mothers and babies, there are surprisingly many clinically relevant questions that still have not been adequately addressed. The study presented here investigates some aspects of this topic, using a new method for measuring blood sugar levels, continuous glucose measurement. In Germany, the only screening method normally used to test pregnant women for gestational diabetes is a urine test strip. The few publications that deal with the sensitivity of urine test strips for detecting gestational diabetes show only minimal sensitivity. The study carried out in our clinic with a large number of test cases (1001 pregnant women) confirmed previous findings and demonstrates that the glucosuria rate directly corresponds to diastolic blood pressure values. An additional appraisal was made of the 50-gram glucose screening tests which we have routinely carried out on all pregnant women visiting our clinic since 1993. With a sensitivity and specificity of approx. 90% - as compared to the oral glucose test – this screening method yielded good results; however, we did notice that the interval since the most recent meal influences the positive outcome rate, which ranges from 11 % - 40 %. Up to the present, no one has been able to prove that eating carbohydrates before an oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT) influences the results, a belief often found in experts’ recommendations for pregnant women. However, our study, in which the pregnant women – unlike other studies – kept detailed food journals, did indeed confirm this hypothesis. Based on the higher concentrations of gestagen, estrogen and the human placenta lactogen, researchers often presume that mothers carrying twins are more likely than other expectant mothers to have gestational diabetes. Using a matched-pair-study, we refuted this idea. Continuous glucose testing allows new insights into the physiology and pathophysiology of pregnancy. After establishing an analytical procedure, we examined pregnant women both with and without glucose tolerance dysfunction using the continuous glucose monitors (CGMS) made by MedtronicMinimed. We demonstrated that the CGMS - as opposed to a conventional daily log of blood glucose values - provided markedly better differentiation between healthy women and those with impaired glucose tolerance. In a further analytical step, we studied the correlation between postprandial testing intervals and maternal and infant morbidity rates. Corresponding to the pregnancy parameters birth method, macrosomia and fetal transferral rate, significant differences were seen when glucose levels monitored 45 - 105 minutes after a meal were compared. For the first time, it was possible to demonstrate a clear correlation between postprandial glucose concentrations checked at various intervals and neonatal morbidity.

Há muitas alterações nos sistemas fisiológicos de indivíduos com diabetes melittus em função dos constantes momentos de hiperglicemia, principalmente alterações relacionadas ao aumento dos riscos cardiovasculares. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar as respostas do controle glicêmico pelo monitor contínuo de glicose e da pressão arterial (PA), frequência cardíaca (FC) e sua variabilidade expressa pelos valores de RMSSD em diabéticos tipo II submetidos a testes de avaliação antes e após a realização de treinamento aeróbio e resistido. Participaram desse estudo 9 voluntários diabéticos tipo II do sexo masculino (45 a 65 anos) divididos em 3 grupos: DTA (n=7), diabéticos submetidos a seis semanas de treinamento aeróbio; DTR (n=5), diabéticos submetidos a treinamento resistido e GDC (n=5), diabéticos sem qualquer treinamento regular. Os voluntários realizaram testes laboratoriais, ergoespirometria e teste de fadiga em leg press antes e após o treinamento físico. Os resultados foram analisados estatisticamente pelo teste t de Student e pelo teste de Kruskal Wallis. Os voluntários tiveram a cinética da concentração de glicose mensurada pelo monitor contínuo e analisada qualitativamente antes, durante e após a realização da ergoespirometria e do teste de fadiga por 60 minutos. Como resultados o grupo DTA apresentou menores valores de concentração de glicose pela monitorização contínua e o grupo DTR a melhor resposta na cinética dessa curva, apresentando expressivo decaimento na mesma. Em relação à resposta pressórica, somente a PA diastólica (PAD) foi menor estatisticamente para o grupo DTA pós treinamento aeróbio no repouso. Não houve diferenças entre os valores pré e pós treinamentos em relação à FC e os voluntários do grupo DTA apresentaram maiores valores de RMSSD em repouso e o do grupo DTR incrementos desses valores na recuperação dos testes, mostrando maior ação parassimpática no controle autonômico cardíaco dos diabéticos submetidos a treinamentos. Os indivíduos do grupo GDC apresentaram decremento nesse valor, sugerindo piora no controle autonômico cardíaco. Como conclusão geral, este estudo sugere que indivíduos diabéticos tipo II que realizaram treinamento aeróbio e resistido apresentaram benefícios complementares no controle glicêmico registrado pelo monitor contínuo em repouso e no período de recuperação de exercício, respectivamente, adaptações que parecem estar associadas à melhora da ação parassimpática/vagal no controle autonômico cardíaco e, sugere, também, ser o treinamento físico aeróbio o que permite melhor organização hemodinâmica nas respostas de PAD. / There are many changes in physiological systems of people with diabetes melittus due to the constant moments of hyperglycemia, mainly related to increasing of cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study was evaluate the responses of glycemic control by continuos glucose monitoring and blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) and its variability expressed by the values of RMSSD in type II diabetics undergoing evaluation tests before and after performing aerobic and resistance training. Participants were 9 volunteers type II diabetic male (45-64 years) divided in 3 groups: DTA (n=7), diabetics undergoing six weeks of aerobic training; DTR (n=5), diabetics undergoing resistance training and GDC (n=5), diabetics without any regular training. The volunteers underwent laboratory tests, spirometry and fatigue tests on leg press before and after physical training. The results were statistically analyzed by Students t and Kruskal Wallis tests. The volunteers had the kinetics of glucose concentration measured by the continuos monitor and qualitatively analyzed before, during and after the spirometry and the fatigue tests for 60 minutes. As a result the DTA group had lower glucose concentration by continuos monitoring and DTR the best response in the kinetic curve, showing important decrease in it. In relation to the BP response, only diastolic BP (DBP) was statistically lower for the DTA group after aerobic training. There were no differences between pre and post training in HR and the DTA group showed higher RMSSD at rest and the DTR group showed increments of these values in the tests recovery showing higher parasympathetic action on cardiac autonomic control in diabetics patients with training. Individuals in the GDC group showed decrement this value, suggesting deterioration in cardiac autonomic control. As a general conclusion, this study suggests that type II diabetic individuals who performed aerobic and resistance training showed additional benefits in glycemic control by continuos monitor recorded at rest and during exercise recovery, respectively, adaptations that seem to be associated with improvement in parasympathetic action in cardiac autonomic control, and also suggests that aerobic exercise training has better organization hemodynamic in responses of DBP.

The main objective of this study was research on biomarkers used in both diagnosis and therapy of diabetic complications. The main focus of our work came to be on one of these biomarkers - glycemic variability (GV). High GV is linked with more frequent occurance of hypoglycemia. There are even indications it might contribute to development of diabetic complications. With modern technology - continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), we are now able to reliably describe, calculate and reduce GV. So far it is unclear whether increased GV can contribute to the development of microvascular complications (MVC) in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Studies published so far have assessed GV primarily from routine self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) using glucometers. In the light of this uncertaity, the first part of this work compares GV calculated from CGM with the presence of MVC in T1D patients. GV calculated from CGM, but not from SMBG, proved to be significantly higher in T1D patients with MVC, even though there was no significant difference in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). This finding supports the hypothesis that higher GV is related to higher risk of MVC and that HbA1c does not describe diabetes control completely. Moreover, it was shown that GV calculated from SMBG is insufficient. There is still no fully...

Title: Mountain tourism for diabetics with an insulin pump Objectives: The aim of this study is to find out whether it is suitable for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus treated with an insulin pump to undergo physical activity in the form of mountain tourism, as the more intense physical aktivity affects blood glucose levels and whether patients are able to work with advanced insulin pump functions. Methods: The work is conceived as an observational study of the Medtronic educational project. One day mountain hike trip of a distance about 30 km was attended by 40 patients (men and women) with diabetes aged 15-25 years. Non-invasive methods were used. The data was obtained by monitoring insulin pump probes, glucometers and continuous monitoring, which were further evaluated using the CareLink Pro software. Results: Physical activity in the form of mountain tourism is suitable for patients with DM1 treated on an insulin pump. 80% of the probands did not have a risk status of hypoglycaemia, and even though the determined normoglycemia for research was performed by a larger number of adults as opposed to children, this FA has a demonstrable effect on blood glucose levels. It also brings positive benefits for patients because they learn how to work better with advanced insulin pump functions....

Diabetes type 1 is an autoimmune, incurable disease which requires careful monitoring and treatment to not result in life threatening complications. Managing the disease is to a great extent made by the patients themselves, implying the disease needs to be constantly taken into consideration when doing even the most simple and regular everyday tasks and activities.This study aims to examine the use of AI in everyday treatment for patients with diabetes type 1. The study investigated what areas AI is already used in diabetes care management, and where there is room for development. The purpose is to give an indication of what role AI has and potentially can have in making the life for patients with diabetes type 1 easier. The research was conducted by a combined literature review and a cross sectional multiple case-study, with semi-structured interviews with people diagnosed with diabetes type 1. The gathered data were analyzed in relation to the triangle of diabetes management and technology acceptance model 2. The first indicates what factors are of highest relevance to not create dangerous situations for a diabetic, and the second relates to whether users would accept the use of a complex technology. The result suggested wide current and further potential use of AI in creating functionality in treatment and everyday management of the disease. Further, it became evident that technological tools simplify the lives of diabetics but there are several areas where AI could be further implemented in order to improve it even further.

The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the clarification of the pathogenesis of chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. The main goal of the research was glycaemic variability, its contribution to the activation of oxidative stress and its possible role in the process of advanced glycation, all beyond the scope of persistent hyperglycaemia itself. Another aim of the work is to contribute to the clarification of a possible relationship between glycaemic variability and vascular complications of diabetes. We were the first to describe the association between the concentrations of reactive aldehydes formed during lipid peroxidation and disorders of skin microvascular reactivity in patients with type 1 diabetes (DM1). Elevated markers of oxidative stress were found in this group, furthermore during the 3 years of follow-up higher plasma antioxidant activity was observed. These findings were not dependent of the method of glucose monitoring and glucose variability, which was lower in a subgroup of patients using real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rt-CGM), compared to a subgroup using conventional glucometers. However, it is clear, that hyperglycaemia alone induces increased oxidative stress in patients with diabetes. Simultaneously we observed the opposite process of oxidative stress...

Objectif : Déterminer la fiabilité et la précision d’un prototype d’appareil non invasif de mesure de glucose dans le tissu interstitiel, le PGS (Photonic Glucose Sensor), en utilisant des clamps glycémiques multi-étagés. Méthodes : Le PGS a été évalué chez 13 sujets avec diabète de type 1. Deux PGS étaient testés par sujet, un sur chacun des triceps, pour évaluer la sensibilité, la spécificité, la reproductibilité et la précision comparativement à la technique de référence (le Beckman®). Chaque sujet était soumis à un clamp de glucose multi-étagé de 8 heures aux concentrations de 3, 5, 8 et 12 mmol/L, de 2 heures chacun. Résultats : La corrélation entre le PGS et le Beckman® était de 0,70. Pour la détection des hypoglycémies, la sensibilité était de 63,4%, la spécificité de 91,6%, la valeur prédictive positive (VPP) 71,8% et la valeur prédictive négative (VPN) 88,2%. Pour la détection de l’hyperglycémie, la sensibilité était de 64,7% et la spécificité de 92%, la VPP 70,8% et la VPN : 89,7%. La courbe ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristics) démontrait une précision de 0,86 pour l’hypoglycémie et de 0,87 pour l’hyperglycémie. La reproductibilité selon la « Clark Error Grid » était de 88% (A+B). Conclusion : La performance du PGS était comparable, sinon meilleure que les autres appareils sur le marché(Freestyle® Navigator, Medtronic Guardian® RT, Dexcom® STS-7) avec l’avantage qu’il n’y a pas d’aiguille. Il s’agit donc d’un appareil avec beaucoup de potentiel comme outil pour faciliter le monitoring au cours du traitement intensif du diabète.

Two PGS were tested with each subject, one on each triceps, to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility and accuracy compared to the reference technique, the glucose analyzer Beckman®. Each subject was submitted to a multi-level 8 hour glucose clamp at 3, 5, 8 and 12 mmol / L, 2 hours each. Results: The correlation between the PGS and the Beckman® was 0.70. For the detection of hypoglycaemia, the sensitivity was 63.4%, the specificity 91.6%, the positive predictive value (PPV) 71.8% and the negative predictive value (NPV) 88.2%. For the detection of hyperglycaemia, the sensitivity was 64.7% the specificity 92%, the PPV 70.8% and the NPV: 89.7%. The ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristics) curve showed an accuracy of 0.86 and 0.87 for hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia respectively. Reproducibility according to the Clark Error Grid was 88% in the A and B zone. Conclusion: The performance of the PGS was comparable or better than other continuous glucose monitoring devices on the market (Freestyle® Navigator, Medtronic Guardian® RT, Dexcom® STS-7) with the advantage that it has no needle. It is therefore an interesting device and hopefully, which could facilitate the monitoring in the intensive treatment of diabetes.

Problématique : l’activité physique est évitée par les patients atteints de diabète de type 1 (DbT1) malgré ses bénéfices et ce par crainte du risque d’hypoglycémie majoré par l’exercice. Le pancréas artificiel externe est une nouvelle technologie de trois composantes qui fonctionnent en boucle fermée, un système de surveillance continue du glucose (SSCG), un algorithme et une pompe à insuline. Peu d’études ont été conçues spécifiquement pour tester le pancréas artificiel pendant l’exercice. De plus, la précision des SSCG pourrait être compromise par les changements rapides du glucose au cours de l’exercice. Objectifs : 1) Tester et comparer l’efficacité des deux versions du pancréas artificiel, simple-hormone (insuline seule) et double-hormone (insuline et glucagon), pour prévenir l’hypoglycémie durant deux types d’exercice, en continu et par intervalles, chez les patients DbT1. 2) Comparer la performance de deux SSCG, Dexcom et Enlite, au repos et pendant l’exercice. Résultats : 1) Avec le système à simple-hormone comparé au double-hormone, 31,2% des participants ont eu au moins un épisode d’hypoglycémie nécessitant un traitement par glucides vs. 9% (p=0,02) et 24,4 ± 27,6 % de temps était passé en hypoglycémie (glucose plasmatique < 4 mmol/l) vs. 4,4 ± 14,3% (p=0,0001), respectivement. 2) Les moyennes de différence relative absolue par rapport au glucose plasmatique pour Dexcom vs. Enlite étaient comparables au repos 13,8 vs. 12,4% (p=0,53) et pendant l’exercice 22,5% vs. 20,4% (p=0,58). La comparaison repos vs exercice était significatif pour Dexcom (p=0,005) et Enlite (p=0,007). Conclusions : le pancréas artificiel à double-hormone engendre un moindre risque d’hypoglycémie et permet un meilleur contrôle de la glycémie que le système à simple-hormone. Les deux SSCG, Dexcom et Enlite ont une bonne performance, sont comparables, mais sont tous les deux moins précis durant l’exercice qu’au repos. / Background: Physical activity is often avoided by patients with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) despite its health benefits due to fear of its elevated hypoglycemic risk. The external artificial pancreas is a new technology that controls glucose via a closed-loop strategy of three components; a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS), an algorithm and an insulin pump. Studies of the artificial pancreas included physical activity sessions but were rarely designed to specifically assess its efficacy during exercise. Moreover, the precision of the CGMS can be affected by the rapidly changing blood glucose levels during exercise. Objectives: 1) To test and compare the efficacy of the two versions of the artificial pancreas, single-hormone (insulin only) and dual-hormone (insulin plus glucagon) during two types of exercise, continuous and interval, in patients with T1D. 2) To compare the performance of two CGMS, Dexcom and Enlite, at rest and during exercise. Results: 1) During single-hormone artificial pancreas in comparison to dual-hormone, 31.2% of the participants had at least one hypoglycemic episode necessitating treatment vs. 9% (p=0,02) and 24.4 ± 27.6 % of the time spent in hypoglycemia (plasma glucose < 4 mmol/l) vs. 4.4 ± 14.3% (p=0.0001), respectively. 2) The mean relative absolute differences (MARD) in reference to plasma glucose for Dexcom vs. Enlite were at rest 13.8 vs. 12.4% (p=0.53) and during exercise 22.5% vs. 20.4% (p=0.58). The comparison of mean ARD`s at rest vs. exercise were significant for Dexcom (p=0.005) and Enlite (p=0.007). Conclusions: The dual-hormone artificial pancreas was shown to be better than single-hormone at achieving hypoglycaemia-free control during exercise in adults with T1D. Dexcom and Enlite demonstrated comparable overall performances during rest and physical activity with a lower accuracy for both sensors during exercise.
