Abstract:: This prospective longitudinal survey was designed to follow patients with diabetes from disease onset in childhood over an extended period of time including puberty until young adulthood with respect to metabolic control. An electronic diabetes patient documentation system used in diabetes centers in Austria and Germany was utilized for standardized data collection. Complete documentation of metabolic control for prepuberty (≤ 13 years), puberty (14-19 years), and adulthood (≥ 20 years) was available in 1146 patients. Median age at diabetes manifestation was 7.2 (IQR 4.7-9.4) years; 49% were male. In the prepubertal stage, median glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was 7.5 (IQR 6.8-8.3), during puberty 8.0 (IQR 7.3-8.9), and after puberty 7.8 (IQR 7.1-9.0). A significant intra-individual correlation was found for prepuberty to puberty HbA1c levels (R = 0.55, P < .001), puberty to adulthood (R = 0.59, P < .001), as well as prepuberty to adulthood (R = 0.30, P < .001). When patients were divided into tertiles of prepubertal HbA1c, HbA1c increased in all 3 groups over time, however, significant group differences tracked into adulthood (P < .001 at all stages). A regression model identified pre-pubertal HbA1c as a significant and relevant predictor of metabolic control in young adulthood adjusted for confounders (P < .001). This survey provides evidence for long-term tracking of metabolic control from childhood until adulthood, suggesting an early focus on metabolic control. Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
