Abstract Objective: Diabetic ketoacidosis is a common complication in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The purposes of the present study were to explore clinical correlates of serum vitamin D level in Chinese children with type 1 diabetes.Methods: A total of 143 inpatients (boys/girls = 60/83) were recruited from Tianjin Children’s Hospital. Their demographic and clinical characteristics were collected. These patients were divided into the non-DKA group(n=43) and DKA group(n=100).Results: The positive ZnT8-ab was significantly higher in DKA patients compared with non-DKA patients (p=0.038). There was a negative correlation between plasma glucose and the concentration of vitamin D(r =−0.188, p=0.024), although there was no significant difference in vitamin D between two groups of T1DM patients with or without DKA (p=0.317). The multiple logistic regression revealed that sex(male) and BMI were independent risk factors to predict the deficiency or insufficiency of Vitamin D in T1DM children. When BMI is lower than 16 kg/m2 according to the cut-off value of the ROC curve, it provides some implications of Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency in TIDM children ( 95%CI:0.534~0.721, P=0.014). Conclusions: Our results suggested that positive ZnT8-ab was associated with a greater risk of DKA at T1DM onset. Additionally, neither vitamin D levels nor the proportion of patients with different levels of vitamin D differed between the two groups inT1DM children with or without DKA. Furthermore, Vitamin D level was negatively correlated with plasma glucose, lower BMI and male children with T1DM were prone to be deficient or insufficient of Vitamin D.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by severe insulin deficiency, making patients dependent on exogenous insulin replacement for survival. These patients can experience life-threatening events when their glucose levels are significantly abnormal. Type 1 diabetes accounts for 5 to 10% of all diabetes cases, with type 2 accounting for most of the remainder. This review details the pathophysiology, stabilization and assessment, diagnosis and treatment, disposition and outcomes of patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Figures show the opposing actions of insulin and glucagon on substrate flow and plasma levels; plasma glucose, insulin and C-peptide levels throughout the day; the structure of human proinsulin; current view of the pathogenesis of Type 1 autoimmune diabetes mellitus; pathways that lead from insulin deficiency to the major clinical manifestations of Type 1 diabetes mellitus; relationship between hemoglobin A1c values at the end of a 3-month period and calculated average glucose levels during the 3-month period; different combinations of various insulin preparations used to establish glycemic control; and basal-bolus and insulin pump regimens. Tables list the etiologic classification of Type 1 diabetes mellitus, typical laboratory findings and monitoring in diabetic ketoacidosis, criteria for the diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes, clinical goals of Type 1 diabetes treatment, and insulin preparations. This review contains 10 figures, 9 tables, and 40 references.

Context: Recently we showed that a 10-sec maximal sprint effort performed before or after moderate intensity exercise can prevent early hypoglycemia during recovery in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). However, the mechanisms underlying this protective effect of sprinting are still unknown. Objective: The objective of the study was to test the hypothesis that short duration sprinting increases blood glucose levels via a disproportionate increase in glucose rate of appearance (Ra) relative to glucose rate of disappearance (Rd). Subjects and Experimental Design: Eight T1DM participants were subjected to a euglycemic-euinsulinemic clamp and, together with nondiabetic participants, were infused with [6,6-2H]glucose before sprinting for 10 sec and allowed to recover for 2 h. Results: In response to sprinting, blood glucose levels increased by 1.2 ± 0.2 mmol/liter (P < 0.05) within 30 min of recovery in T1DM participants and remained stable afterward, whereas glycemia rose by only 0.40 ± 0.05 mmol/liter in the nondiabetic group. During recovery, glucose Ra did not change in both groups (P > 0.05), but glucose Rd in the nondiabetic and diabetic participants fell rapidly after exercise before returning within 30 min to preexercise levels. After sprinting, the levels of plasma epinephrine, norepinephrine, and GH rose transiently in both experimental groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion: A sprint as short as 10 sec can increase plasma glucose levels in nondiabetic and T1DM individuals, with this rise resulting from a transient decline in glucose Rd rather than from a disproportionate rise in glucose Ra relative to glucose Rd as reported with intense aerobic exercise.

Abstract Abstract 540 Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a hypercoagulable state associated with increased acute cardiovascular events. Potential risk factors for this include alterations in coagulation and fibrinolytic systems. Tissue factor (TF) is the principal initiator of blood coagulation. Several studies show that there is a circulating pool of TF in blood, which is thrombogenic, and elevated in thrombotic states. We have shown (J Clin Endo Metab 2007, 92:4352-8) that circulating TF procoagulant activity (TF-PCA) is elevated in patients with Type 2 DM (T2DM) and increases further with acute combined hyperglycemia-hyperinsulinemia and selective hyperinsulinemia. There is currently no information on circulating TF-PCA levels and TF responses to hyperglycemia and/or hyperinsulinemia in patients with T1DM who are at comparable risk for cardiovascular events as T2DM patients. Objective: To investigate circulating TF-PCA and other coagulation factors under basal conditions and in response to acute selective hyperglycemia, selective hyperinsulinemia and combined hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia in T1DM. Methods: Three study protocols were used: 1) acute correction of hyperglycemia (with IV insulin) followed by 24 h of hyperglycemia, 2) 24 h of selective hyperinsulinemia and 3) 24 h of combined hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia. Studies were performed in 9 T1DM patients and 7 non-diabetic subjects. T1DM patients were on a basal/bolus insulin regimen (insulin glargine, 15–70 units at night) or Novolog 70/30 mix twice daily (45-50 units). Circulating membrane bound TF-PCA was measured in whole blood lysates by a two-stage clotting assay (Key et al, Blood; 1998:91). Results: Basal TF-PCA (64.7 ± 6.0 vs. 24.6 ± 1.2 U/ml, p < 0.001) and plasma factor VIIa (104 ± 24 vs. 38 ± 8 mU/ml, p < 0.03), the activated form of factor VII, were higher in T1DM (n=9) than in non-diabetic controls (n= 7) indicating a chronic procoagulant state. Plasma FVIIc, FVIII, thrombin-antithrombin complexes (TAT) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) were not significantly different between patients and controls. When control subjects and T1DM patients were combined, HbA1C correlated with TF-PCA (r=0.71, p=0.0001, n=23). Plasma adiponectin was elevated in T1DM patients compared to control subjects (12.4 ± 1.9 vs 6.7 ± 2.0 μg/ml, p < 0.05). Acutely normalizing hyperglycemia in T1DM patients over 3–15 h did not decrease TF-PCA. There were also no changes in plasma FVIIc and FVIII. To explore effects of acutely raising plasma glucose, glucose was raised from 103 ± 8 to ∼ 300 mg/dl by infusion of 20% dextrose and maintained for 24 hours. Insulin concentrations were kept at basal concentrations (6 and 13 μU/ml) by IV infusion. In our previous studies in non-diabetic subjects (Diabetes 2006, 55,202-8) and in T2DM patients (J Clin Endo Metab 2007, 92,4352-8), raising glucose and insulin together produced a marked increase in circulating TF-PCA. We therefore raised glucose to ∼ 250 mg/dl and insulin to ∼ 100 μU/ml together in 8 T1DM patients. Raising glucose levels alone or in combination with insulin decreased circulating TF-PCA by 26% (p < 0.02) and 37% (p < 0.01), respectively, which is in striking contrast to the elevations noted in non-diabetic controls and T2DM patients. To explore effects of selective hyperinsulinemia, plasma insulin levels were raised in 3 T1DM patients by IV infusion of regular insulin from 15 ± 0.2 to ∼ 75 μU/ml and maintained for 24 hours while plasma glucose was kept at ∼ 100 mg by infusion of 20% dextrose. Again, in contrast to our studies in T2DM patients and healthy subjects we found no increase in TF-PCA Conclusions: Circulating TF-PCA and FVIIa levels are elevated in T1DM patients indicating a potential prothrombotic state. The studies on acutely induced hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia indicate that the regulation of TF expression is different in T1DM and T2DM. This may be due to multiple mechanisms, including a differential effect of insulin on monocytes TF expression in T1DM and T2DM, and due to differences in plasma adiponectin, which has been shown to inhibit TF expression and is elevated in T1DM. Additional studies are needed to obtain insights into the mechanisms regulating the differential expression of TF in the two forms of diabetes. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

AbstractReal euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis [DKA; blood glucose <200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L)] is rare, and long-lasting starvation conditions due to intervening diseases in type 1 diabetes mellitus patients may also cause it. Euglycemic DKA is also reported in insulin-dependent diabetics with depression, alcoholics, glycogen storage diseases, and chronic liver disease apart from pregnant cases. This case report is presented to emphasize the importance of evaluation of acid-base state, urine glucose, and ketone values at the application in all newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic patients with normal glucose levels by defining euglycemic DKA that resulted from long-lasting starvation during Ramadan fasting in a newly diagnosed 14-year-old male patient.
