ketosis diabet

BACKGROUND: A - β + ketosis-prone diabetes (KPD) in adults is characterized by presentation with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), negative islet autoantibodies, and preserved β -cell function in persons with a phenotype of obesity-associated type 2 diabetes (T2D). The prevalence of KPD has not been evaluated in children. We investigated children with DKA at "T2D" onset and determined the prevalence and characteristics of pediatric A - β + KPD within this cohort. METHODS: We reviewed the records of 716 children with T2D at a large academic hospital and compared clinical characteristics of those with and without DKA at onset...

Fulminant type 1 diabetes is a subtype of type 1 diabetes characterised by a rapid progression to diabetic ketoacidosis combined with a background of rapid and almost complete pancreatic islet destruction. FT1D induced by secondary SARS-CoV-2 infection is rare. Herein, we present the case of a 42-year-old male patient with new-onset FT1D after a secondary SARS-CoV-2 infection, with recurrent hyperglycaemia and ketosis as the primary manifestations. Eventually, the patient responded well after receiving more than 50 units of insulin daily...

We investigated the potential association between ketonuria during treatment with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and its renoprotective effect in patients with type 2 diabetes. We included 192 patients who had received SGLT2 inhibitors for more than 6 months. After propensity score matching, 52 patients each were allocated into groups with or without ketonuria, respectively. The estimated glomerular filtration rate exhibited a significant improvement only in subjects with ketonuria (without ketonuria: mean difference, -0...

BACKGROUND: Visual changes due to hyperglycemia in diabetes are not uncommon. While blurred vision is a well-established sequela of chronic hyperglycemia, homonymous hemianopia with or without electroclinical seizures is much rarer and can be mistaken for migraine, temporal arteritis, or ischemia of the central nervous system. METHODS: This article analyzed case studies for 3 patients (67M, 68M, 52F) presenting with complex visual phenomena, from 3 to 42 days duration, including pathogenesis, clinical findings, management, and follow-up...

Aim We aimed to find out the prevalence of diabetes, ketosis, and ketoacidosis in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) critically ill patients and to explore the clinical impact of the development of ketosis and ketoacidosis on the outcome of COVID-19 critically ill patients and identify them as potential risk factors for these patients. Methods We collected data on COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) retrospectively. The study population will be classified into two groups based on the presence of diabetes or ketosis...

It is widely acknowledged that the ketogenic diet (KD) has positive physiological effects as well as therapeutic benefits, particularly in the treatment of chronic diseases. Maintaining nutritional ketosis is of utmost importance in the KD, as it provides numerous health advantages such as an enhanced lipid profile, heightened insulin sensitivity, decreased blood glucose levels, and the modulation of diverse neurotransmitters. Nevertheless, the integration of the KD with pharmacotherapeutic regimens necessitates careful consideration...

Peritonsillar abscess is an infection of tonsillar soft tissue which can spread into additional neck structures leading to symptoms of fever, sore throat, dysphagia, and airway compromise. We describe a case of diabetic ketoacidosis in a patient with a history of uncontrolled type II diabetes mellitus admitted for a peritonsillar abscess who received intravenous steroids for management of the abscess swelling. The patient was treated with an insulin drip, hydration, and electrolyte replacement with a resolution to his anion gap and metabolic acidosis...

OBJECTIVE: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) occurs due to mutations in genes involved in pancreatic beta cell function and insulin secretion, has heterogeneous clinical and laboratory features, and account for 1-5% of all diabetes cases. The prevalence and distribution of MODY subtypes vary between countries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and laboratory characteristics, mutation distribution, and phenotype-genotype relationship in a large case series of pediatric Turkish patients genetically diagnosed with MODY...

BACKGROUND: Global variations in epidemiology of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) exist. This study is designed to examine demographic and clinical features of T1DM over the past 3 decades as well as evolving trends in epidemiology over last 50 years. METHODS: Clinical characteristics of 925 patients with T1DM over last 30 years (1990-2019) were evaluated and compared to previously published data of 477 patients diagnosed between 1969 and 1990 from one of the major referral centers for diabetes in Turkey...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Hyperglycemic crisis is a metabolic catastrophe which can occur in any type of diabetes. In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) revised the classification of diabetes mellitus (DM) and established two new hybrid forms, latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and ketosis-prone type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to determine clinical outcomes after a hyperglycemic crisis event in people with diabetes classified subtypes by 2019 WHO DM classification. METHODS: A five-year (2015-2019) retrospective study of adult patients admitted with hyperglycemic crises was conducted...

Heart failure (HF) management in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is particularly challenging due to its increased prevalence and the associated risks of hospitalization and mortality, driven by diabetic cardiomyopathy. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2-is) offer a promising avenue for treating HF, specifically the preserved ejection fraction variant most common in T1D, but their utility is hampered by the risk of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This review investigates the potential of SGLT2-is in T1D HF management alongside emergent Continuous Ketone Monitoring (CKM) technology as a means to mitigate DKA risk through a comprehensive analysis of clinical trials, observational studies, and reviews...

BACKGROUND: Our bodies have adaptive mechanisms to fasting, in which glycogen stored in the liver and muscle protein are broken down, but also lipid mobilisation is triggered. As a result, glycerol and fatty acids are released into the bloodstream, increasing the production of ketone bodies in liver. However, there are limited studies on the incidence of perioperative urinary ketosis, the intraoperative blood glucose changes and metabolic acidosis after fasting for surgery in non-diabetic adult patients...

A man in his late 60s with a history of well-controlled type 2 diabetes and hepatic cirrhosis presented to the emergency department due to uncontrollable hyperglycaemia following the initial brentuximab vedotin (BV) infusion. BV was initiated as a treatment for mycosis fungoides, a form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The patient was diagnosed with severe hyperglycaemia with ketosis. Empiric treatment with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, hydration and intravenous insulin infusion was initiated. Hyperglycaemia persisted despite receiving massive amounts of insulin and was corrected only after treatment with high-dose methylprednisolone for suspected type B insulin resistance...

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes in young people is an aggressive disease with a greater risk of complications leading to increased morbidity and mortality during the most productive years of life. Prevalence in the UK and globally is rising yet experience in managing this condition is limited. There are no consensus guidelines in the UK for the assessment and management of paediatric type 2 diabetes. METHODS: Multidisciplinary professionals from The Association of Children's Diabetes Clinicians (ACDC) and the National Type 2 Diabetes Working Group reviewed the evidence base and made recommendations using the Grading Of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology...

OBJECTIVE: Despite improvements in glucose monitoring technologies, insulin formulations and insulin delivery systems, too many patients with type 1 diabetes continue to struggle to meet their glycemic goals. As a result, they suffer from high rates of microvascular and macrovascular disease. Titration of insulin therapy, while essential to the care of these patients, is often limited by undesirable side effects of hypoglycemia and weight gain. SGLT inhibitors have been proposed as a potential adjunctive therapy to insulin that may offset some of these effects, while simultaneously enabling patients with type 1 diabetes to potentially reap the cardiovascular and renal benefits afforded by these agents in those with type 2 diabetes...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and myasthenia gravis (MG) are autoimmune conditions that rarely co-occur. Here, we report a child with MG who subsequently developed T1D. CASE REPORT: An 11-year-old girl with seropositive MG diagnosed at 4 years of age presented with muscle pain, cramps, and weight loss of 3.5 kg over 4 months. Her MG was in remission on daily pyridostigmine. She denied polyuria, polydipsia, recent illnesses, or other medications...

Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) typically manifests as a polyuria-polydipsia syndrome, in which normonatremia is generally maintained through the polydipsia. A 53-year-old woman presented with diabetic ketosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome. Her medical history included herpes meningoencephalitis, which was associated with confusion and amnesia. On physical examination, she was apyretic, confused, and had signs of extracellular dehydration. Her capillary glucose concentration was high and her urine was positive for ketones...

BACKGROUND: Multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) is an inherited metabolic disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in genes related to the flavoprotein complex. Dysfunction of the complex leads to impaired fatty acid oxidation and ketone body production which can cause hypoketotic hypoglycemia with prolonged fasting. Patients with fatty acid oxidation disorders (FAODs) such as MADD are treated primarily with a dietary regimen consisting of high-carbohydrate foods and avoidance of prolonged fasting...

The ketogenic diet (KD) is recognized as minimum carbohydrate and maximum fat intakes, which leads to ketosis stimulation, a state that is thought to metabolize fat more than carbohydrates for energy supply. KD has gained more interest in recent years and is for many purposes, including weight loss and managing serious diseases like type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, many believe that KD has safety issues and are uncertain about the health drawbacks. Thus, the outcomes of the effect of KD on metabolic and non-metabolic disease remain disputable...

Fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1D) is a unique subtype of type 1 diabetes, characterized by acute absolute insulin deficiency, severe ketosis, and increased risk of hypoglycemia, glycemic variability and microvascular complications. Seven people with FT1D were identified from two tertiary centers in Singapore. Six were Chinese, the mean age was 35 years and all were lean (mean body mass index 20.3 kg/m2 ). All presented with diabetes ketosis or ketoacidosis and low C-peptide. All but one had low glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies...
