About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Type1diabetes focused on measuring type 1 diabetes, children, biomarkers

Evaluation and follow-up of diet, physical activity, quality of life using validated questionnaires.
Composite of Physical Activity Questionnaire (PAQ), DisabKids, Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC)
Evaluation and follow-up of physical activity
Physical Activity Questionnaire (PAQ). This questionnaire consists of 8 items. Once you have a value from 1 to 5 for each of the 8 items (items 1 to 8) used in the Physical Activity composite score, you simply take the mean of these 8 items, which results in the final PAQ activity summary score. A score of 1 indicates low physical activity, wheareas a score of 5 indicates high physical activity.
Evaluation and follow-up of quality of life: DisabKids Questionnaires
DisabKids Questionnaires. The paper version of DISABKIDS consisted of the generic health related quality of life questionnaire for 8- to 18-year-olds (37 items) and the DISABKIDS Diabetes module (10 items). The questionnaire is designed to measure health related quality of life of children with a chronic medical condition. Questions are answered on a Likert type scale of 1-5 points. Lower scores correspond to better quality of life.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Production of prediction model of β-cell mass evolution
Composite score using clinical parameters and laboratory results

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The goal of DIATAG study is the identification of biomarkers of T1D evolution in a pediatric cohort.
Detailed Description
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a common chronic disease in childhood. Clinical presentation at onset of T1D can vary among patients from long-standing diabetes triad symptoms (polyuria, polydipsia and weight loss) to coma and ketoacidosis. The initial clinical presentation of T1D was shown to have long-term influence on glycemic control of the patient. The investigators initiated a collaborative consortium including six pediatric clinics in Belgium to better characterize new-onset T1D patients. Hypothesis : Different subgroups of T1D patients might exist, underlying different physiopathology of T1D : The investigators will first investigate the presence of biomarkers in different fluids (e.g. urine, blood, feces,...). The investigators will correlate results with clinical parameters of glycemic control. Dynamic tests (HOMA and stimulated C peptide) will be realized at 2 defined time points of the follow-up. Glucose variability can be influenced by external factors (e.g. diet, physical activity, Quality of Life (QoL),...) The investigators will evaluate those external factors using approved questionnaires. They will presented to the patient and its parents at 2 defined time points.
