ABSTRACT
Type 1 diabetes includes two categoriesautoimmune (type 1A) and idiopathic (type 1B)diabetes.Fulminant type 1 diabetes is a recently discovered subtype of type 1 diabetes with extremely rapid progression of hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis.The prevalence of fulminant type 1 diabetes among acute-onset type 1 diabetic patients is around 15%-20%.Class Ⅱ HLA genotype and virus infection may contribute to its development.The near-normal HbA_(1C) level despite a very high plasma glucose concentration in patients with ketoacidosis is the clue to diagnosis of fulminant type 1 diabetes.Treatment must be started immediately and aggressively when the diagnosis of fulminant type 1 diabetes is made or strongly suspected.
