There is a proved relationship between diabetes mellitus and the cataract formation. The incidence of this is usually related to the duration of diabetes. In this manuscript we report a 15 years old female presented to the emergency room with a 4 hour history of rapid bilateral diminished vision, initially diagnosed with idiopathic cataracts, but after more laboratory evaluations revealed new-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus without ketosis.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a condition associated with an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes such as spontaneous abortions, preterm birth, placental insufficiency, congenital malformations, and perinatal mortality. Diabetes mellitus combined with cardiovascular diseases in women during pregnancy often leads to hypertensive disorders and pre-eclampsia. The severity of the microvascular diabetic complications and frequency of hypoglycemic episodes, particularly in early pregnancy, are related to the risk of pre-eclampsia. We report the case of pregnancy and delivery of a live newborn in a 42-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes mellitus, pre-existing hypertension, heritable thrombophilia, and antiphospholipid syndrome. She had a 40-year history of type 1 diabetes mellitus with well-controlled diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy. The woman had been receiving continuous subcutaneous insulin therapy for the last five years, which allowed maintaining an appropriate glycemic control during pregnancy. Multidisciplinary supervision of course of pregnancy was carried out from the pre-gravidity stage until delivery and postpartum. In spite of the severe pre-eclampsia and preterm delivery by cesarean section at 36 weeks, she and newborn could avoid the intensive unit care and discharge from perinatal center without any complications.

Background: There is limited information on prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in patients with type-1- diabetes. We assessed the prevalence of PTB in patients with type-1-diabetes attending the outpatient-clinic in a tertiary-care hospital. Methods: 151 patients with type-1-diabetes were screened for PTB by clinical examination and chest-radiography. Sputum Acid-Fast Bacilli Test (AFB) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) culture were performed in patients with clinical and radiological features suggestive of a possibility of PTB and also in those with history of PTB in the past. Their average glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) during preceding 2 years was assessed. Sputum culture positive patients were managed by a pulmonologist. Results: 5/151 patients had respiratory symptoms and radiographic findings suggestive of PTB. 20/151 patients were asymptomatic but had history of PTB. Four of the five symptomatic patients and 12 with past PTB were positive for sputum M.tb by culture, giving a prevalence of 10.6 % sputum culture positive in type-1-diabetes. Average HbA1c was comparable in patients with and without positive sputum culture. ESR and Mantoux test were not discriminatory in these groups. Four clinically symptomatic M.tb culture positive and four asymptomatic patients with sputum culture positive for M.tb on two occasions (6 weeks apart) were put on antitubercular treatment (ATT). Patients who were culture positive for M.tb only on one occasion were kept on a close follow up. Conclusions: Patients with type-1-diabetes mellitus in India have high prevalence of PTB. They need to be actively screened for PTB by sputum M.tb culture in order to initiate early treatment and to prevent transmission in the community.

We report a case of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) in a pediatric patient with a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) after a somewhat unusual presentation. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides are a relatively rare entity in the general population, and are even less common amongst the pediatric population. Our patient’s chronic history of vague and systemic symptoms paired with social and environmental stressors contributed to her convoluted picture and late diagnosis. In addition, her T1DM adds an interesting element to her case, begging the question of whether her propensity for autoimmune conditions played a role in the development of this disease. With this case, we hope to increase clinician level of suspicion and promote early diagnosis and treatment for future pediatric patients.

Abstract Background Simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK) is a treatment option for patients with end-stage renal disease due to type 1 diabetes mellitus. We report a patient with a refractory fistula due to leakage from the duodenal stump of the pancreas graft after an SPK with bladder drainage who was successfully treated with a percutaneous direct injection of N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA). Case presentation A 60-year-old female with a 33-year history of type 1 diabetes mellitus and a 10-year history of renal replacement therapy underwent an SPK in 2015. At the time of transplantation, an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a high risk of rupture was treated by a Y-graft replacement prior to the SPK. Bladder drainage of the pancreas graft was chosen to avoid a vessel graft infection. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 93 with good-functioning pancreas and kidney grafts. One and a half years after the operation, the patient was found to have acute graft pancreatitis and a leak from the duodenal stump of the pancreas graft due to a paralytic neurogenic bladder. The insertion of an indwelling catheter into the bladder and the endoscopic-guided insertion of a catheter into the graft pancreatic duct through the duodenum/bladder anastomosis did not result in the closure of the fistula. Therefore, NBCA was injected at the site of the leak point using CT-guided technique. The fistula was completely closed immediately after the injection, with no recurrences of leaks. Conclusions A percutaneous direct injection of NBCA is one of the treatment options to treat intractable fistulas.
