Article Synopsis
- Diabetes in young adults can be difficult to classify, particularly when involving diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) seen in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and can also be linked to rare conditions like Beta-ketothiolase deficiency (BKD).
- A novel case is presented of a 34-year-old man with BKD who experienced DKA, which is unique because previous reports haven't documented diabetes in adults with BKD.
- The findings stress the need for regular HbA1c checks in those with BKD and raised blood sugar levels to identify possible concurrent diabetes, which can help avoid complications and improve treatment strategies.
Objective: To study the effect of 12 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on glycemic control in adults with type 1 diabetes and overweight or obesity.
Research Design And Methods: Thirty inactive adults with type 1 diabetes who had BMI ≥25 kg/m and HbA ≥7.5% were randomized to 12 weeks of either HIIT exercise intervention consisting of 4 × 4-min HIIT (85-95% peak heart rate) performed thrice weekly or usual care control.
Objective: This study compared the prevalence of complications in 354 patients with T2DM diagnosed between 15 and 30 years of age (T2DM15-30) with that in a duration-matched cohort of 1,062 patients diagnosed between 40 and 50 years (T2DM40-50). It also examined standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) according to diabetes age of onset in 15,238 patients covering a wider age-of-onset range.
Research Design And Methods: Complication status was assessed according to a standard protocol and extracted from our electronic database.
Objective: To evaluate long-term clinical outcomes and survival in young-onset type 2 diabetes (T2DM) compared with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) with a similar age of onset.
Research Design And Methods: Records from the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Diabetes Clinical Database, established in 1986, were matched with the Australian National Death Index to establish mortality outcomes for all subjects until June 2011. Clinical and mortality outcomes in 354 patients with T2DM, age of onset between 15 and 30 years (T2DM15-30), were compared with T1DM in several ways but primarily with 470 patients with T1DM with a similar age of onset (T1DM15-30) to minimize the confounding effect of age on outcome.
