THE 2002SYMPOSIUM:“THE GENOMICREVOLUTIONAND TYPE 1DIABETES”

The 2002 Carousel of Hope Scientific Symposium focused on the

emerging technologies of genediscovery that haverevolutionized basic research inmany biomedical fields andparticularly in the discovery ofthe causes of type 1 diabetesand new approaches for itstherapy. Termed “The GenomicRevolution,” it is a radically newway to do research based on ourknowledge of the complete DNAsequence of the human beingand the development of methodsto simultaneously study the40,000 or more building blocksthat make up a living individual.It will allow us to screen tens ofthousands of potential drugs ina single day and tailor medicaltreatments to the individual’sdisease. The Symposium broughttogether preeminent scientistsand clinicians from manydifferent disciplines andcountries. Their interests rangedfrom investigations of thedevelopment of the endocrinepancreas, stem cell therapy,discovery of diabetessusceptibility genes, viruses andenvironmental factors that causeType 1 diabetes and newapproaches to drug developmentand islet transplantation.

Thomas F. Bumol, Ph.D.,Vice President ofResearch Technologiesand Proteins, LillyResearch Laboratories, adivision of Eli Lilly andCompany, Indianapolis, IN Dr. Bumol focuses on new

biological technologies criticalfor contemporary drug discoveryand bioproduct research at LillyResearch Laboratories. Hisresearch interests have spannedseveral therapeutic areasincluding investigations intotumor cell biology, inflammation,atherosclerosis and monoclonalantibody technology. His currentresearch interests focus oninflammation and tissueregeneration.

Mark Duncan, Ph.D.,Professor, Departmentsof PharmaceuticalSciences andBiochemistry & MolecularGenetics; Director,University of ColoradoCenter Biochemical MassSpectrometry Facility,University of ColoradoHealth Sciences Center,Denver, CODr. Duncan researches the useof mass spectrometry inbiomedical research, and inparticular, the rapidly evolvingarea of proteomics. He focuseson the development of newexperimental approaches thatenhance sensitivity, quantitativeaccuracy and qualitativecertainty of these techniquesand their application to tearchemistry, prostate cancer,diabetes and cystic fibrosis.

George S. Eisenbarth,M.D., Ph.D., ExecutiveDirector of the BarbaraDavis Center forChildhood Diabetes;Professor, Department ofPediatrics, Medicine andImmunology, University ofColorado Health SciencesCenter, Denver, CODr. Eisenbarth has pioneeredstudies of the prediction andtrials for the prevention of type1 diabetes. Given geneticsusceptibility, patients and theirfamilies are at risk for a seriesof related autoimmune

disorders. A group of childrencan now be identified at birthwith a 50% risk of developingdiabetes. With collaboratinginvestigators, he is pursuingimmunologic “vaccination” withinsulin peptides for diabetesprevention.

Décio L. Eizirik, M.D.,Ph.D., Director,Laboratory ofExperimental Medicine;Professor, Free UniversityBrussels, Brussels, BelgiumDr. Eizirik presently utilizesmicroarray analysis to clarifythe pattern of gene expressionin beta-cells exposed to differentpro-apoptotic agents. Thepicture emerging from thesefindings is that beta-cells arenot passive bystanders of theirown destruction. On thecontrary, beta-cells respond todamage by activating diversenetworks of transcriptionfactors that may either lead toapoptosis or preserve viability.

Satish K. Garg, M.D.,Director of the Young-Adult Clinic, BarbaraDavis Center forChildhood Diabetes;Professor, Departmentsof Medicine andPediatrics, University ofColorado Health SciencesCenter, Denver, CODr. Garg directs the Young AdultClinic at the Barbara DavisCenter. His research looks at theapplication of glucosemonitoring devices in the short-term control of glycemia andgenetically engineered form ofinsulins for better managementof the short and long-termcomplications of diabetes.

BDC NAMEDONE OF TENNATIONALISLET CELLRESOURCECENTERS— George S. Eisenbarth, M.D., Ph.D.

The NationalInstitutes of Health (NIH) is sponsoring a number of

collaborative efforts to fosterislet cell transplantation in man.The Immune Tolerance Network

and the Islet Cell ResourcesCenters of the NIH are providingan infrastructure to speeddevelopments in this area. TheBarbara Davis Center is one often nationally chosen Islet CellResource Centers, where thegoal is to provide islets fortransplantation and research.Dr. Ronald Gill, a pioneer ofbasic research in islettransplantation, heads the ICRCenter at the BDC and heads agroup of physicians andscientists isolating human isletsfor clinical transplantation.Seven of the Islet Cell ResearchCenters are also participating ina specific research islet

transplantation protocol of theImmune Tolerance Network.Faculty of the BDC provide theislet auto antibody testing corefor the Immune ToleranceNetwork, and Dr. Eisenbarth is aco-chair of the autoimmunitysubgroup of the ImmuneTolerance Network. There are anumber of important hurdles inthe development of islettransplantation as a practicalprocedure in man, but there isconsiderable optimismgenerated by recentdevelopments that protocolsstemming from basic researchwill be tested in man.

URGENTMESSAGE:

EMLA cream wastaken off the market on November 15, 2002, according

to AstraZeneca. EMLA is ananesthetic cream often usedprior to pump catheter tubinginsertions. It is also used priorto blood draws to numb the areawhere the vein will bepunctured. EMLA was taken offthe market because thepackaging did not meet thePoison Prevention PackagingAct. The company plans toredesign the packaging and getapproval by mid-2003.

Until EMLA is approved for useby the public, it will only beavailable for in-hospital use.EMLA will not be available atpharmacies or to physicians foruse in their offices.

Ela-MAX, another topicalanesthesic, may be consideredas an alternative. Ela-MAXinformation is available at:http://www.ferndalelabs.com/inc/frameset.asp?page=professionals/elamax.asp

Ela-MAX may be available over-the-counter at your localpharmacy in the topical productsection. This product numbs theskin in about 15-45 minutes andhas similar properties to EMLAcream.

CHASEENDOWEDCHAIR NOW UPTO $430,000.00

The endowed chair in honor of Dr. Chase, the first (and only for the first three

years) full-time physician at theBarbara Davis Center, iscontinuing to progress.Contributions have been madefrom 227 families and haveranged from $10.00 to$30,000.00. In addition tocontributions from families, aportion of the sale of the PinkPanther™ books goes to theChair. The profit from thebiennial Keystone Conferencefor diabetes care providers alsogoes to the Chair. Dr. Chasehas been the director of the firstseven conferences. The value ofthe Chair will be that it is mucheasier to attract a top-level

physician if a “Chair” has beenestablished to pay the person’ssalary. It is also an honor tohave one’s name attached to anongoing Chair. The Universitygenerally requires that a milliondollars be in the endowmentprior to activating the Chair.Families who have not yetcontributed may fill out the formbelow and send to theFoundation Office.

QUESTIONSAND ANSWERS

— H. Peter Chase, M.D.

We are considering an insulin pump for our son. Do HbA1c levels

(glucose control) alwaysimprove in pump users?

That is a good question. Our initial publication (Pediatrics 107:351-

356;2001) found that one-thirdof people improve their HbA1c,one-third stay the same andone-third worsen. The mainreason the one-third worsenrelates to forgetting to boluswith meals. The "basal" insulinis very flat in activity and doesnot provide any peaks for meals.Thus a bolus must be taken(including at least part of thedose prior to the meal) or theblood sugar level will go veryhigh. It is our "clinical"impression that if one bolus perweek for a meal is missed for 3months, the HbA1c will be one-half point higher (or 2 bolusesper week = a full point higher).

This is discussed on page 281(Chapter 26)in the new 10th

edition of the Pink Panther™book.

My daughter seems to have a “knack” for losing things. With insulin

pumps being so expensive isit possible to get insurance toreplace it if it gets lost?

One of the families haslooked into this. They found that many homeowners

insurance policies would notinsure medical equipment.However, they did find that onepolicy called “CHUBB” would.They had to change theirhomeowners policy to thecompany but they were thenable to purchase a “rider” for$23.00 a year to insure theirchild’s pump.

My daughter is going to college in the Fall. Doesshe need to get the (menigococal)

meningitis vaccine?

If she will be living in the dorms where she will be in close proximity to

other students then yes, shedefinitely does need to get thevaccine. If she will be living off-campus in an apartment orhouse then the vaccine is notrequired.

AIN’T NOMOUNTAINHIGH ENOUGHMichelle Petruska sent in thefollowing piece about herfamily’s hike up Grays Peak:

Jon Petruska is my son. He, his dad Greg, 13 year old sister Caitlin and I, climbed the

“Fourteener” Grays Peak(14,267’) on September 1, 2002.We hit the trailhead about 8:30a.m. and “peaked” at about11:30. We had lots of snacksalong the way (gorp, juice, TigerBars) and lots of water. It waschilly, as the trailhead is at11,230’, higher than most dayhikes, so we brought lots oflayers, gloves and hats. Lunchat the top was simple, a peanut

butter/jelly sandwich. Numerousother hikers joined us at thetop. The peak in the neardistance in the accompanyingpicture is Torreys Peak(14,267’). Jon’s dad, Greg, tookthat peak on, as the kids and Iheaded back down.

This was the first fourteener forall of us. Jon and family hadbeen preparing for a fourteenerthis summer by hiking 2 ten-mile hikes, Byer’s Peak(12,000+), and numerousshorter hikes. Nothing canprepare you though for theeffect of the lack of oxygen ontired legs! Jon was one of theyoungest hikers we saw on theGrays Peak trail that day. Quitean accomplishment for ayoungster, let alone onediagnosed with Type 1 diabetesjust two years ago. We ofcourse, were well prepared forthe hike, with Jon’s test kit,insulin, snacks, lots of waterand lunch.

VISIONS OFSUGARPLUMS…

— Markey Swanson, RD, CDE &Gail Spiegel, MS, RD, CDE

The holidays are upon us, and what to do about those endless goodies as “visions of

sugarplums dance through ourheads?” Keep in mind, this isNOT just an issue in diabetesmanagement, but a matter ofhow to maintain a nutritiousfood intake AND allow for funwith holiday food.

We have known for many yearsthat sugary foods do not raiseblood sugar any higher thanstarchy foods, but many peoplestill worry about how thesefoods will affect their bloodsugar. Keep in mind that themost important factor affectingyour blood sugars in foods is thetotal carbohydrate you eat notthe kind of carbohydrate. Andknowing how to balance yourinsulin with total carbohydrateintake will help keep your bloodsugars in target range.

Does this encourage you to eatunlimited amounts ofcarbohydrate in the form ofsugar? NO! That is not a

healthy approach to eating. Noone, with or without diabetes,should consume large amountsof carbohydrate calories fromfoods high in added sugar. Onthe other hand, it is appropriateto have a piece of fudge or asugar cookie as the occasionpresents itself.

Another factor to considerduring the holiday season is theFAT content of food choices.Unfortunately, many of the“goodies” you consume atfestive holiday occasions willcontain lots of SUGAR and FAT.

Parents can be good role modelsduring the holidays by providingfun and healthy food choices andactivities. Variety is the key andthe decision to have smallerportions of less healthy snacksshould be modeled for children.Note below the list of favoriteholiday goodies, portion sizesand corresponding amounts offat and carbohydrate.

For all individuals at the holidayseason it is important to eathealthfully, as you usually do.When you make a choice to havegoodies, keep the amountswithin reason. For children withdiabetes, estimated amounts ofcarbohydrate should be

consistent with your normalintake. Above all DO NOTFEEL GUILTY about your foodchoices.

Remember too, there areoccasions when it is appropriateto take extra Humalog® orNovolog® insulin. Your specialholiday meal will most likely belarger than normal. Discusswith your care providers thepossible need for extra insulinprior to your meal if you are notsure what to do.

Younger children will most likelynot require extra insulin for theoccasional treat or holiday meal.Excitement levels are often highand activity levels are extremelyunpredictable. Additionalcarbohydrate may be needed toprovide energy for extra activity.

It is important to stay active atthis time of year. Regularactivity will help burn off thoseextra calories from treats, keepyour blood sugars in targetrange and your heart healthy.Cutting down on the amount oftime your family spendswatching TV and videos orplaying on the computer willalso help. Below are some ideasof activities the whole family cando inside or outside the house.
