Australian Family Physician, 09/04/09
Sabin MA et al. – While type 2 diabetes has been the focus of much media attention, type 1 diabetes mellitus remains the commonest form of newly diagnosed diabetes in childhood. This case study acts to remind practitioners that all young people (even those with established obesity) who present with symptoms, and/or biochemical derangements compatible with diabetes, should be managed acutely in order to avoid a delayed diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.
- Obesity is associated with numerous comorbidities and practitioners should remain alert for other underlying conditions.
- Type 1 diabetes remains the commonest form of newly diagnosed diabetes in youth.
- Regardless of body weight, all children with elevated plasma glucose concentrations require immediate assessment.
