Background: Young-onset diabetes (YOD) is heterogenous in aetiologies and clinical phenotypes. The PRISM study is a 3-year randomised controlled trial to evaluate the effect of precision treatment algorithm guided by biogenetic information on clinical outcomes in Chinese with YOD.

Methods: In 2020-2021, we randomized 884 Chinese (18-50 years) with non-type 1 diabetes diagnosed ≤40 years to PRISM (n=443) or usual care (n=441). The PRISM group underwent assessment including biogenetic markers (anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody [GADA], C-peptide, monogenic diabetes gene mutations and genetic risk scores predicting YOD, insulin requirement and complications) for issue of a personalized report to guide multidisciplinary care comprising endocrinologist consultation, counselling, empowerment on self-care, and reminders by supporting staff for 1 year at the Diabetes Research Centre before return to usual care. All patients return for assessment at year 3 for ascertainment of all-diabetes related endpoints.

Results: Amongst 884 patients (mean±SD: age 40.7±6.5 years, median [IQR] age at diagnosis 34 [29,38] years, disease duration 7 [3,12] years, HbA1c 7.5±1.7%, 96.2% on glucose-lowering drugs, 27.7% on insulin), 74.7% had family history (19.7% both parents affected), 66.7% hypertension, 76.4% dyslipidaemia, 83% overweight and 35.4% albuminuria. Median fasting C-peptide was 0.6 (0.4, 0.9) nmol/L, 9.5% had C-peptide &lt;0.2 nmol/L, 5.1% were GADA positive. In the PRISM group, 21.9% had low birthweight, 50.7%, childhood obesity, 5.7%, steroid exposure in childhood, 1.8-17.3%, co-existing endocrinopathies (thyroid disease, Cushing’s syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome), 7.5%, thalassaemia trait, 7.1%, chronic hepatitis B infection and 10.3%, mental illness.

Conclusions: Lifecourse factors, endocrinopathies and mental illnesses are prevalent in YOD.
