There is variability in early-onset autoimmune diabetes presentation in individuals with monogenic autoimmunity; the mechanism(s) underlying this is unclear. We examined whether type 1 diabetes (T1D) polygenic risk contributes to clinical phenotype in monogenic autoimmune diabetes. Individuals with monogenic autoimmune diabetes had higher T1D genetic risk scores compared with control cohorts, driven largely by increased presence of T1D-risk DR3-DQ2 haplotype. Established T1D polygenic risk alleles, particularly class II HLA genes, contribute to clinical presentation in monogenic autoimmunity.

Bartter syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that often presents in the early phase of life and is caused by mutations in multiple genes encoding the transporters and channels, which are responsible for the reabsorption of various ions in the nephrons. Clinically, it presents with vomiting, failure to thrive, and dehydration. Rare instances of acquired Bartter syndrome have been linked to sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, and autoimmune diseases.

Diabetes mellitus, characterized by high blood glucose due to inadequate insulin action, comprises two main types: type 1, an autoimmune disease, and type 2, marked by insulin resistance. This review provides a comprehensive overview of diabetes management and treatment advancements. Effective diabetes management includes maintaining blood glucose levels within normal ranges and monitoring HbA1c, a marker reflecting average glucose levels over the past few months.

Hemoglobin A is a widely used diagnostic tool for monitoring glycemic control in diabetes management. However, its accuracy can be influenced by various factors. We present a case of a 17-year-old boy with abnormally low Hemoglobin A levels caused by warm autoantibody-induced hemolytic anemia.

Objectives: We evaluated the effect of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on HbA1c levels in patients with both type 1 diabetes and CD.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, biochemical and clinical information was gathered from 174 children with T1DM from January 2013 to January 2019.

Cataracts secondary to type 1 or type 2 diabetes are not uncommon in adults; however, they are a rare finding in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes. A 15-year-old girl presented with progressively worsened bilateral vision for 6 months. Her vision rapidly deteriorated over the previous month, prompting further evaluation that found bilateral cataracts with haziness in all layers and swollen lenses.
