Abstract
Background Tirzepatide is a novel glucagon-like peptide 1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GLP-1/GIP) receptor agonist. It was recently approved for diabetes control and weight reduction in non-diabetic patients. Case description We report the first case of ketoacidosis after the use of tirzepatide in an obese non-diabetic patient, secondary to the possibility of starvation ketoacidosis and insulin resistance. Conclusion The dual-acting GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonists, tirzepatide, can induce ketoacidosis in obese non-diabetic patients. LEARNING POINTS The dual-acting GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonists can cause ketoacidosis in obese non-diabetic patients.Ketoacidosis induced by tirzepatide is serious, and physicians should be aware of this complication and be alert to early symptoms, check serum and urine ketone levels, and stop medication.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this work was to describe the phenotype of adults presenting with a first episode of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in Cape Town, South Africa, and identify predictors of insulin independence at 12 and 60 months after presentation. METHODS A prospective, descriptive cohort study of all individuals, 18 years or older, presenting for the first time with DKA to four public-sector hospitals of the Groote Schuur Academic Health Complex was performed. Clinical, biochemical and laboratory data including GAD antibody and C-peptide status were collected at baseline. Insulin was systematically weaned and stopped in individuals who achieved normoglycaemia within the months after DKA. Individuals were followed for 12 months and then annually until 5 years after initial presentation with ketoacidosis. RESULTS Eighty-eight individuals newly diagnosed with diabetes when presenting with DKA were included and followed for 5 years. The mean ± SD age was 35±10 years and the median (IQR) BMI at diagnosis was 28.5 (23.3-33.4) kg/m2. Overall, 46% were insulin independent 12 months after diagnosis and 26% remained insulin independent 5 years after presentation. Forty-one participants (47%) tested negative for anti-GAD and anti-IA-2 antibodies and had C-peptide levels >0.3 nmol/l; in this group, 68% were insulin independent at 12 months and 37% at 5 years after diagnosis. The presence of acanthosis nigricans was strongly associated with insulin independence (OR 27.1 [95% CI 7.2, 102.2]; p<0.001); a positive antibody status was associated with a lower likelihood of insulin independence at 12 months (OR 0.10 [95% CI 0.03, 0.36]; p<0.001). On multivariable analysis only acanthosis (OR 11.5 [95% CI 2.5, 53.2]; p=0.004) was predictive of insulin independence 5 years after diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION The predominant phenotype of adults presenting with a first episode of DKA in Cape Town, South Africa, was that of ketosis-prone type 2 diabetes. These individuals presented with obesity, acanthosis nigricans, negative antibodies and normal C-peptide and could potentially be weaned off insulin at follow-up. Classic type 1 diabetes (lower weight, antibody positivity, low or unrecordable C-peptide levels and long-term insulin dependence) was less common. The simple clinical sign of acanthosis nigricans is a strong predictor of insulin independence at 12 months and 5 years after initial presentation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the risk factors for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in children/adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and to establish a model for predicting the risk of DKA. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on 217 children/adolescents with T1DM who were admitted to General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 2018 to December 2021. Among the 217 children/adolescents,169 cases with DKA were included as the DKA group and 48 cases without DKA were included as the non-DKA group. The risk factors for DKA in the children/adolescents with T1DM were analyzed, and a nomogram model was established for predicting the risk of DKA in children/adolescents with T1DM. RESULTS For the 217 children/adolescents with T1DM, the incidence rate of DKA was 77.9% (169/217). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high levels of random blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), blood ketone body, and triglyceride on admission were closely associated with the development of DKA in the children/adolescents with T1DM (OR=1.156, 3.2031015, 20.131, and 9.519 respectively; P<0.05). The nomogram prediction model had a C-statistic of 0.95, with a mean absolute error of 0.004 between the risk of DKA predicted by the nomogram model and the actual risk of DKA, indicating that the model had a good overall prediction ability. CONCLUSIONS High levels of random blood glucose, HbA1c, blood ketone body, and triglyceride on admission are closely associated with the development of DKA in children/adolescents with T1DM, and targeted intervention measures should be developed to reduce the risk of DKA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the characteristics of newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) related to autoimmunity and the frequency of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in children and adolescents from 2017-2022 in China. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Single-center regional data from the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology, Tongji Hospital, were used to compare 88 children and adolescents newly diagnosed with T1DM from 2020 to 2022 (i.e. during the COVID-19 pandemic in China) and 76 children and adolescents diagnosed with T1DM from 2017 to 2019. Auto-antibodies, including glutamic acid decarboxylase-65 and insulin auto-antibodies, were detected by enzyme-linked immunoassays. DKA was defined as a pH < 7.3 and/or a bicarbonate level < 15 mmol/L. RESULTS The median age of the 164 children and adolescents newly diagnosed with T1DM from 2017 to 2022 was 7.0 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 3.8-10.0 years; 51.83% male). The mean annual incidence of T1DM was 2.98 per 1,000,000 child years. The estimated frequency of auto-antibody positivity was 51.22% (n = 84), and there was no difference between the 2020-2022 group and 2017-2019 group (55.68% [n = 49] vs. 46.5% [n = 35]; p = 0.219). The frequency of DKA among the entire cohort was 57.93% (n = 95), and peaked in 2020 at 78.9% (15/19 patients). The frequency of DKA was not significantly higher in the 2020-2022 group compared with the 2017-2019 group (60.23% [n = 53] vs. 55.26% [n = 42]; p = 0.521). We found no significant difference in the frequency of DKA between patients who were negative vs. positive for auto-antibodies in the 2020-2022 group (64.10% [n = 25] vs. 57.14% [n = 28], p > 0.05). The C-peptide level and HbA1c (%) were positively correlated with onset age (R1 = 0.389, p < 0.01; R2 = 0.371, p < 0.01), and the estimated mean C-peptide level was 0.26 ng/ml (IQR: 0.2-0.4 ng/ml) in patients with DKA and 0.370 ng/ml (IQR: 0.2-0.6 ng/ml) in patients without DKA (p = 0.044). CONCLUSIONS This study showed the annual incidence of T1DM was 2.98 per 1,000,000 child years, gradually increased over the study period, and there was no significant increase in T1DM with auto-antibody positivity in children and adolescents newly diagnosed from 2020-2022 in China compared with the previous 3 years. Furthermore, the frequency of DKA was peaked in 2020, and were not significantly different between patients who were negative vs. positive for auto-antibodies.

Abstract
Ketoacidosis is a serious complication of diabetes that only occurs in cases of absolute or severe relative insulin deficiency. This condition is rare in type 2 diabetes. The use of gliflozin during intense physiological stress associated with fasting can lead to the development of ketoacidosis without severe hyperglycaemia. The diagnosis of this normoglycaemic or euglycaemic diabetic ketoacidosis in the context of type 2 diabetes may be challenging. The treatment of metabolic acidosis cannot rely solely on symptomatic measures such as bicarbonate infusion. The demonstration of metabolic acidosis necessitates the search for an etiological diagnosis. The calculation of the anion gap is the cornerstone of the pathophysiological diagnosis of metabolic acidosis. In the context of diabetes, the occurrence of metabolic acidosis of unknown etiology requires its calculation and systematic measurement of ketones, even in the absence of severe hyperglycaemia. Only the etiological treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis, which is insulin therapy, allows for the lasting restoration of acid-base balance. Normoglycaemic ketoacidosis induced by the use of gliflozin during intense physiological stress associated with fasting should therefore be a recognized situation by healthcare providers.

Abstract
AIMS In this study we described the clinical and laboratory features of children presented with diabetic ketosis or diabetic ketoacidosis at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and evaluated its course up to 2 years after initial diagnosis to investigate the progression rate of T1DM in both groups. METHODS This was a prospective longitudinal cohort study that included 59 children and adolescents presented with either diabetic ketosis (DK) (n = 27) or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) (n = 32) at their first diagnosis with T1DM. RESULTS Apart from the metabolic state of presentation at diagnosis, differences in the other basic clinical and laboratory features of both DK and DKA were not statistically significant (age, BMI, pre- diagnosis symptomatic period, HbA1c, multiplicity of autoantibodies positivity, fasting insulin, and total IgG levels), except from the C-peptide and IgA levels which were lower in DKA (p < 0.05). Regarding family history, only the DK group had individuals with a parent diagnosed with T1DM (p = 0.001). During follow-up there was no difference in the levels of HbA1c, basal insulin dose, and insulin/carbohydrate ratio between the DK and DKA group at 3,6,12 and 24 months' time points. CONCLUSIONS The severity of presentation of T1DM (DK or DKA) is not associated to the rate of progression of the disease course after diagnosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to assess factors associated with the presence and severity of ketoacidosis (DKA) at pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1DM) diagnosis, in relation to pancreatic, associated and familial autoimmunity. METHODS Antibodies against pancreatic beta-cells, organ specific autoantibodies (thyroid, celiac, and parietal) and family history of autoimmunity were retrospectively evaluated in 116 T1DM patients aged 11.9 ± 4.6 (mean ± SD) years, with disease duration 7.62 ± 3.67 years (mean ± SD). RESULTS Most patients (67.2%) presented with DKA at diagnosis. Younger children (< 2 years) had tenfold risk of DKA, compared to older children (12.1-15 years) (OR = 10.8, 95% CI: 1.0-116.9, P = 0.05). Fasting c-peptide levels were lower in the DKA group (OR = 0.26, 95% CI = 0.07-0.89, P = 0.033). The number of anti-pancreatic antibodies at disease onset did not show any significant correlations with the presence (p = 0.889) or severity of DKA (p = 0.863). All patients with multiple autoimmunity (> 2 autoimmune diseases plus T1DM) presented with DKA. Familial autoimmunity acted protectively against DKA manifestation (OR = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.16-1.0, P = 0.051). CONCLUSIONS Among newly diagnosed T1DM patients, 67.2% presented with DKA. Younger age, lower c-peptide and the presence of associated autoimmunity were predictive factors of the presence and severity of DKA at diagnosis. High degree of suspicion, due to family history, may prevent DKA development and severity.

Abstract
A 72-year-old female with type 1 diabetes, a history of interstitial pneumonia, and diabetic ketoacidosis was admitted to our hospital with dysphagia. Endoscopy revealed a circumferential neoplastic lesion in the upper to middle esophagus, and a biopsy revealed squamous cell carcinoma. Computed tomography revealed invasion of the left main bronchus, and induction chemotherapy was initiated with a diagnosis of unresectable locally advanced esophageal cancer. After one course of induction chemotherapy, the tumor size reduced, bronchial invasion improved, and thoracoscopic esophagectomy was performed. During surgery and until 3 days after surgery, the patient's blood glucose level was controlled using an artificial pancreas, and the target blood glucose range was set at 140-180 mg/dL. On the fourth postoperative day, the patient was managed using a sliding scale. Mean blood glucose was 186.7 ± 70.0 mg/dL for 3 days before surgery, 190.5 ± 25.0 mg/dL during artificial pancreas therapy from the surgery to the next day, 169.8 ± 22.0 mg/dL during artificial pancreas therapy on the second to third postoperative days, and 174.5 ± 25.0 mg/dL during sliding scale therapy for 4-15 days after surgery. No hypoglycemia or ketoacidosis was noted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bacteremia caused by Serratia rubidaea is seldom mentioned in comparison with other Enterobacteriaceae species. It primarily affects immunocompromised patients undergoing invasive procedures. Furthermore, the incidence, clinical features, and microbiological profile of this pathogen in the intensive care unit are rarely described. CASE PRESENTATION We present four North African case studies of bacteremia in four young female patients admitted to the intensive care unit for ketoacidosis with a history of diabetes mellitus. All four patients developed catheter-related infections complicated by deep vein thrombosis. The catheter site was femoral in all cases, and the main clinical manifestation was poorly tolerated fever. The pathogen was isolated in multiple peripheral blood cultures (> 4) for each patient, showing a similar profile in all cases: resistance to third-generation cephalosporins and sensitivity to aminoglycosides, piperacillin, fluoroquinolones, and folate-pathway inhibitors. Targeted treatment consisted of a combination of ciprofloxacin 400 mg twice per day and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole 400/80 mg thrice per day for all four cases. However, in one case, this regimen was switched to amikacin due to adverse effects. The outcomes were favorable in the majority of cases. The patients described in this study were 21, 66, 22, and 27-year-old North African women. CONCLUSION Most of the reported cases shared common risk factors and clinical aspects. Notably, a case of thrombosis complicating a catheter infection caused by Serratia rubidaea has not been previously reported in the literature. Furthermore, this bloodstream infection typically affects deeply immunocompromised patients. However, our four cases, admitted to the intensive care unit for ketoacidosis, only had a history of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Metabolic acid-base disturbances are frequently encountered in the emergency department, and many of these patients are critically ill. In the evaluation of patients with these maladies, it is important for the emergency clinician to determine the cause, which can usually be elicited from a thorough history and physical examination. There are several mnemonics that can be used to form an appropriate list of potential causes. Most of the time, the management of these patients requires no specific treatment of the acid-base status but, rather, requires treatment of the underlying disorder that is causing the acid-base disturbance.

Abstract
PURPOSE On the 14th of March 2020, the Spanish government decreed a state of alarm due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, directly affecting healthcare. This situation led to delayed diagnosis of several serious diseases, and its impact on many diseases such as the onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) remains unknown. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the onset of T1DM in children. METHODS A descriptive-observational study was performed using data from children younger than 18 years (n=115) admitted with diagnosis of T1DM. We compared the 8 months from May-December 2020 to the same timeframe in 2019. RESULTS Our data show an increase of newly attended cases of T1DM in 2020, due to referral of Catalan children with onset of diabetes to our centre. Moreover, fewer patients presented with simple hyperglycaemia at the onset of the COVID-19 period. Delay in consulting the hospital, decreased access to the healthcare system, and avoidance of hospitals to minimize exposure to COVID-19 could have contributed to this finding. There were no differences in the number of days of hospitalization (including days in the paediatric intensive care uniy) between the years. CONCLUSION The effects of the lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic not only delayed the diagnosis of diabetes, but also its allowed time for its severity to increase. Future studies should focus on the influence of new variants of COVID-19 on the onset of T1DM during the postvaccination period.

Abstract
AIMS To compare the level of ketones and bicarbonate in inpatients treated with sodium-glucose linked cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and those treated with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i). METHODS We conducted an electronic medical records-based cohort study. We identified patients with type 2 diabetes, with ketone measurements available, who received SGLT2i (n = 82) or DPP4i (n = 308) during admission. We compared ketone levels between those who received SGLT2i or DPP4i using mixed ordinal logistic regression. The primary outcome was level of ketosis (<0.6, 0.6-1.5, 1.6-3.0, >3 mmol/L). Secondary outcomes included bicarbonate levels, hospital complications, ICU admission, and death. RESULTS SGLT2i use was not associated with greater ketosis than DPP4i use, after adjusting for age, weight, Charlson Comorbidity Index, HbA1c, estimated glomerular filtration rate, principal diagnosis category, admission type and insulin administration (OR 4.52 95 % CI (0.33, 61.82)). After adjustment, there was no difference in complications (p = 0.14), ICU admissions (p = 0.64), mortality (p = 0.30), or bicarbonate levels (p = 0.97). CONCLUSION Ketone levels were not greater in patients who received SGLT2i than those who received DPP4i. There were no differences in bicarbonate levels, complications, ICU admissions, or mortality, implying that, in inpatients, SGLT2i use is neither associated with ketosis nor adverse clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ketogenic diet (KD) is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet with therapeutic potential in refractory seizures, both in outpatient and inpatient settings. Successful implementation of KD involves a multifaceted, interdisciplinary approach to address anticipated challenges. We sought to characterize the utilization of KD among healthcare providers caring for adults with status epilepticus (SE). METHODS We distributed a web-based survey through professional societies, including the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), Neurocritical Care Society (NCS), American Epilepsy Society (AES), Neuro Anesthesia and Critical Care Society (NACCS), and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND), and via research contacts. We asked respondents about practice experience and experience using KD as a treatment for SE. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests were used to analyze the results. RESULTS Of 156 respondents, 80% of physicians and 18% of non-physicians reported experience with KD for SE. Anticipated difficulty in achieving ketosis (36.3%), lack of expertise (24.2%), and lack of resources (20.9%) were identified as the most important barriers limiting the utilization of KD. The absence of dietitians (37.1%) or pharmacists (25.7%) support was the most important missing resource. Reasons for stopping KD included perceived ineffectiveness (29.1%), difficulty achieving ketosis (24.6%), and side effects (17.3%). Academic centers had more experience with the use of KD and greater EEG monitoring availability and fewer barriers to its implementation. The need for randomized clinical trials supporting efficacy (36.5%) and better practice guidelines for implementation and maintenance of KD (29.6%) were cited most frequently as factors to increase utilization of KD. CONCLUSION This study identifies important barriers to the utilization of KD as a treatment for SE despite evidence supporting its efficacy in the appropriate clinical context, namely lack of resources and interdisciplinary support, and lack of established practice guidelines. Our results highlight the need for future research to improve understanding of the efficacy and safety of KD along with better interdisciplinary collaborations to increase its utilization.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus and alcoholism are common disorders that may result in sudden death. Ketoacidosis may occur in both conditions. Diagnosis is based on history, and post-mortem findings including biochemistry and toxicology. This study compares deaths from alcoholic and diabetic ketoacidosis from two centres with large autopsy workloads. In the study period 9332 deaths were autopsies with 151 deaths diagnosed as ketoacidosis (1.6%) with 82 (0.9 %) being diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and 48 (0.5%) alcoholic ketoacidosis (AKA) deaths. There were more male deaths in each group. The median age for DKA deaths was 51 years (range 19-79). The median age for AKA deaths was 55 years (range was 34-78). The BMI range in DKA deaths was 12.5 to 40.4 kg/m2, with a median of 21.9. The comparative figures for AKA deaths was a range of 11.3 - 38.3 with a median of 20.2. Acetone concentrations were statistically higher in diabetic compared with alcoholic deaths, mean of 33.7 mg/100 mL in DKA cases versus mean of 16.9 mg/100 mL in AKA cases. Both DKA and AKA deaths are seen more commonly in males than female and are typically people with low BMIs in their 50s.

Abstract
An efficient coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine is urgently required to fight the pandemic due to its high transmission rate and quick dissemination. There have been numerous reports on the side effects of the COVID-19 immu-nization, with a focus on its negative effects. Clinical endocrinology is extremely interested in the endocrine issue that arises after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. As was already mentioned, after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, many clinical problems could occur. Additionally, there are some compelling reports on diabetes. After receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, a patient experienced hyperosmolar hyperglycemia state, a case of newly-onset type 2 diabetes. There has also been information on a potential connection between the COVID-19 vaccine and diabetic ketoacidosis. Common symptoms include thirst, polydipsia, polyuria, palpitations, a lack of appetite, and weariness. In extremely rare clinical circumstances, a COVID-19 vaccine recipient may develop diabetes complications such as hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis. In these circumstances, routine clinical care has a successful track record. It is advised to give vaccine recipients who are vulnerable to problems, such as those with type 1 diabetes as an underlying illness, extra attention.

Abstract
Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of adult patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (FT1DM), a specific subtype of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods We collected the clinical data of patients who were admitted to West China Hospital, Sichuan University in 2010-2019 for FT1DM and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at the onset. In addition, all the FT1DM patients were followed up. Results A total of 70 patients presenting with DKA at the onset of T1DM were admitted to and received treatment at West China Hospital in 2010-2019. Among them, 17 (24.3%) had FT1DM and 53 did not. The mean ages of the FT1DM patients and the non-FT1DM patients were (33.2±12.8) years and (27.5±11.2) years, and the mean body mass indices were (22.6±2.9) kg/m 2 and (19.2±2.9) kg/m 2, respectively. A total of 14 FT1DM cases had symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection or acute gastroenteritis before the onset of the disease and 4 cases were related to pregnancy. The median time from the onset of the disease to the first diagnosis of DKA of the FT1DM group (median [P 25-P 75]: 2 [1-4] days, P<0.001) was significantly shorter than that of the non-FT1DM group (median [P 25-P 75]: 30 [17-78] days). The mean maximum blood glucose levels at the time of the first visit to the doctor of the FT1DM patients ([39.9±11.4] mmol/L, P<0.001) were significantly higher than that of the non-FT1DM patients ([28.9±9.2] mmol/L), but the HbA1c (6.6%±0.6%, P<0.001) and glycosylated serum albumin (GA) (21.4%±3.0%, P=0.001) levels of the FT1DM patients were significantly lower than those of the non-FT1DM group (HbA1c: 12.8%±2.7%; GA: 44.8%±15.0%). The median serum amylase in the FT1DM group was significantly higher than that in the non-FT1DM group (101 [54-336] IU/L vs. 54 [42-166] IU/L, P=0.045) and the median serum lipase in the FT1DM group showed a trend of being higher than that in the T1DM group (81 [57-154] IU/L vs. 46 [28-195] IU/L, P=0.051). 8.7% of the non-FT1DM patients tested positive for anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GAD-Ab), while the FT1DM patients all tested negative. At the time of discharge, the mean daily insulin dose of the FT1DM patients was (0.67±0.22) IU/kg, which was not significantly different from that of the non-FT1DM group ([0.74±0.29] IU/kg, P=0.349). After about 6.5 years of follow-up, the mean daily insulin dose of the FT1DM patients was (0.73±0.19) IU/kg, which was similar to the insulin dosage on discharge ( P=0.409). Conclusion Compared with the non-FT1DM patients presenting with DKA at the onset, FT1DM patients have fewer typical diabetic symptoms, lower fasting C-peptide levels, higher serum amylase levels, and increased incidence of vomiting or other symptoms of gastrointestinal infections, and are more likely to be misdiagnosed. Therefore, it is very important for clinicians to correctly identify FT1DM as early as possible and administer early and long-term insulin replacement therapy.

Abstract
AIMS To examine whether type 1 diabetes age onset correlates with epilepsy incidence. METHODS We used type 1 diabetes longitudinal data with onset age ≤ 40 years enrolled in Taiwan National Health Insurance program to examine type 1 diabetes onset age effect on epilepsy occurrence. RESULTS In 6,165 type 1 diabetes patients, onset age groups included 3,571 patients (58%) ≤ 18 years (childhood-onset) and 2,594 patients (42%) > 18 years (adulthood-onset). After 8.6 years median follow-up following type 1 diabetes onset, epilepsy incidence rate in adulthood-onset group was 2.26-fold higher than that in childhood-onset group. Epilepsy incidence rate ratio was lowest in those with onset age 6-12 years in comparison to that in patients with onset age ≤ 6 years, but was highest in onset age of 30-40 years. Longer follow-up duration correlates with higher epilepsy risk in adulthood-onset group. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that onset age 30-40 years, male, more than one diabetic ketoacidosis episode, and unprovoked seizure events were independent risk factors for epilepsy following type 1 diabetes onset. CONCLUSIONS There is age-related vulnerability to epilepsy following type 1 diabetes onset. Adulthood-onset type 1 diabetes is an independent risk factor for epilepsy susceptibility after type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Intensive insulin therapy in the treatment of type 1 diabetes can, in place of multiple daily injections of subcutaneous insulin (MDI), be performed with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) systems. This method allows for better glycemic control and thus reduces the risk of complications of the disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of treatment with CSII in Portugal. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the records on the national CSII platform was carried out between January 2010 and August 2021. All the registered patients are followed in certified CSII treatment centers in Portugal. Of the 7135 registered patients, 3807 were excluded due to absence of monitoring data. The reasons for treatment were analyzed and a comparison was made between patients with and without CSII. The statistical significance considered was α < 0.05. RESULTS A total of 3328 patients were included in the study, 1136 under MDI and 2192 under CSII. The main reasons for CSII use were marked glycemic variability (25%) and HbA1c greater than 7% (23%). Patients under CSII had a lower HbA1c (7.7 ± 1.0% vs. 8.0 ± 1.5%, p < 0.001), as well as a lower frequency of episodes of severe hypoglycemia (1.4 vs. 3.3 per 100 patient-years, p < 0.001), and ketoacidosis (1 vs. 2.4 per 100 patient-years, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The present analysis validates the advantage of using CSII in metabolic control and reduction of acute complications of type 1 diabetes, both severe hypoglycemia and ketoacidosis, in the Portuguese population. CSII therapy is classically associated with an increased risk of ketoacidosis; however, in experienced centers and adequate patient education, the opposite is found.

Abstract
Although the recommended preoperative cessation period for sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) changed in 2020 (from 24 h to 3-4 days preoperatively) to reduce the risk of SGLT2i-associated perioperative ketoacidosis (SAPKA), the validity of the new recommendation has not been verified. Using case reports, we assessed the new recommendation effectiveness and extrapolated precipitating factors for SAPKA. We searched electronic databases up to June 1, 2022 to assess SAPKA (blood pH < 7.3 and blood or urine ketone positivity within 30 days postoperatively in patients taking SGLT2i). We included 76 publications with 99 cases. The preoperative SGLT2i cessation duration was reported for 59 patients (59.6%). In all cases with available cessation periods, the SGLT2is were interrupted < 3 days preoperatively. No SAPKA cases with > 2-day preoperative cessation periods were found. Many case reports lack important information for estimating precipitating factors, including preoperative SGLT2i cessation period, body mass index, baseline hemoglobin A1c level, details of perioperative fluid management, and type of anesthesia. Our study suggested that preoperative SGLT2i cessation for at least 3 days could prevent SAPKA. Large prospective epidemiologic studies are needed to identify risk factors for SAPKA.

Abstract
Background Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) use is associated with an increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Objective This study evaluated and compared the DKA characteristics and outcomes of users and non-users of SGLT2i. Methods We retrospectively studied patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) admitted with DKA to Tawam Hospital, Al Ain City, UAE between January 2017 and March 2021. Demographic data, clinical, and laboratory findings were extracted from the electronic medical records. Results A total of 55 patients with T2DM (62% UAE nationals, 50% women) were admitted with DKA. The average age was 54.0 ± 18.9 years and average diabetes duration of 15.7 ± 15.1 years. Seventeen patients (31%) were using SGLT2i. Infection was the main precipitating factor for DKA in (8 out of 17) SGLT2i users. Compared to non-users, SGLT2i users had lower systolic blood pressure (119.9 vs 140 mmHg; P = .012) and serum glucose levels (16.2 vs 24.9 mmol/L; P < .001) and higher Na level (137.5 vs 132.6 mmol/L; P = .005). Additionally, 56.3% of SGLT2i users had euglycemic DKA compared to 2.6% of nonusers (P < .001). Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurred more in SGLT2i users compared to non-users (94.1% vs 67.6%, P = .043). Further analysis revealed that SGLT2i users were about five times more likely to have prolonged hospital length of stay (⩾14 days) when compared with non-users (adjusted OR: 4.84; P = .035). Overall, there was no difference between the two groups with regards to DKA complications and mortality. Conclusions SGLT2i related DKA is associated with lower blood glucose levels, lower SBP, worse hypovolemia, increased risk of AKI, and longer hospital stay when compared to non SGLT2i related episodes. Since the benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors far outweigh potential risks, there is a need to raise healthcare professionals and patients' awareness about this potential association.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The evolution of the incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in all groups is controversial. Our objective is to study the incidence from 2009 to 2020, based on the Type 1 Diabetes Registry of Navarra, and to analyze the clinical presentation as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), and HbA1c at onset. MATERIALS AND METHODS Descriptive study of all cases diagnosed as T1D and included in the Population Registry of T1D of Navarra in the period 1/1/2009 to 12/31/2020. Data are obtained from primary and secondary sources with an ascertainment rate of 96%. Incidence rates are expressed per 100,000 person-years of risk, by age group and sex. Likewise, a descriptive analysis of the HbA1c and DKA at diagnosis of each patient is performed. RESULTS 627 new cases are registered, which represents an incidence of 8.1 (10 in men, 6.3 in women), without differences throughout the analyzed period. The group with the highest incidence is the 10-14 years old children (27.8), followed by that of 5-9 years old (20.6). The incidence in people older than 15 years is 5.8. Twenty six percent of patients present DKA at onset. The global mean of HbA1c is 11.6%, without changes throughout the studied period. CONCLUSIONS The population registry of T1D of Navarra shows a stabilization in the incidence of T1D at all ages in the 2009-2020 period. The percentage of presentation as severe forms is high, even in adulthood.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One-third of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus manifest with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Most children presenting with DKA are in a volume-depleted state, leading to acute kidney injury (AKI). Besides volume depletion, hyperglycemia can induce tubular injury and kidney inflammation. Therefore, a thorough knowledge of incidence of AKI, risk factors, and outcomes in pediatric DKA is desirable to improve its management and outcomes. OBJECTIVE To synthesize currently available evidence on the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI in children with DKA. DATA SOURCES We searched three electronic databases (EMBASE, PubMed, and Web of Science) from inception to September 2022 for original studies reporting AKI in children with DKA. Search strategies for the individual databases were drafted using free text words and MeSH incorporating "acute kidney injury" and "diabetic ketoacidosis." STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Cohort and cross-sectional studies reporting AKI in children with type 1 DM and DKA were included. PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTIONS Children (aged less than 18 years) with type 1 DM and DKA. STUDY APPRAISAL AND SYNTHESIS METHODS The critical appraisal tool of NHLBI for cohort studies was used to assess the quality of the studies. We estimated the pooled incidence of AKI with 95% CI in children with DKA using a random effects model. The primary outcome was the pooled incidence of AKI during the DKA episodes. RESULTS Twenty-one studies assessing 4087 children (4500 DKA episodes) reported AKI during DKA episodes. The pooled incidence of any stage of AKI during the DKA episode was 47% (95% CI: 40 to 55). Severe AKI was observed in 28% (21 to 35) of DKA episodes; however, only 4% (1 to 11%) of children with AKI received dialysis. Low serum bicarbonate, low corrected sodium, higher blood sugar, and high blood urea nitrogen at presentation have been reported to be associated with the development of AKI. CONCLUSION AKI developed in almost half of the DKA episodes, and every fourth DKA episode was associated with severe AKI. The recovery rate from DKA-associated AKI appears to be high; however, further studies are needed to assess the exact impact of AKI on long-term outcomes. REGISTRATION PROSPERO (CRD42022303200).

Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been increasing awareness about the importance of type 1 diabetes (T1D) globally. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening complication of T1D in low-income settings. Little is known about health system capacity to manage DKA in low- and lower-middle income countries (LLMICs). As such, we describe health system capacity to diagnose and manage DKA across nine LLMICs using data from Service Provision Assessments. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we used data from Service Provision Assessment (SPA) surveys, which are part of the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) Program. We defined an item set to diagnose and manage DKA in higher-level (tertiary or secondary) facilities, and a set to assess and refer patients presenting to lower-level (primary) facilities. We quantified each item's availability by service level in Bangladesh (Survey 1: May 22 2014-Jul 20 2014; Survey 2: Jul 2017-Oct 2017), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) (Oct 16 2017-Nov 24 2017 in Kinshasha; Aug 08 2018-Apr 20 2018 in rest of country), Haiti (Survey 1: Mar 05 2013-Jul 2013; Survey 2: Dec 16 2017-May 09 2018), Ethiopia (Feb 06 2014-Mar 09 2014), Malawi (Phase 1: Jun 11 2013-Aug 20 2013; Phase 2: Nov 13 2013-Feb 7 2014), Nepal (Phase 1: Apr 20 2015-Apr 25 2015; Phase 2: Jun 04 2015-Nov 05 2015), Senegal (Survey 1: Jan 2014-Oct 2014; Survey 2: Feb 09 2015-Nov 10 2015; Survey 3: Feb 2016-Nov 2016; Survey 4: Mar 13 2017-Dec 15 2017; Survey 5: Apr 15 2018-Dec 31 2018; Survey 6: Apr 15 2019-Feb 28 2020), Tanzania (Oct 20 2014-Feb 21 2015), and Afghanistan (Nov 1 2018-Jan 20 2019). Variation in secondary facilities' capacity and trends over time were also explored. FINDINGS We examined data from 2028 higher-level and 7534 lower-level facilities. Of these, 1874 higher-level and 6636 lower-level facilities' data were eligible for analysis. Availability of all item sets were low at higher-level facilities, where less than 50% had the minimal set of supplies, less than 20% had the full minimal set, and less than 15% had the ideal set needed to diagnose and manage DKA. Across countries in lower-level facilities, less than 14% had the minimal set of supplies and less than 9% the full set of supplies for diagnosis and transfer of DKA patients. No country had more than 20% of facilities with the minimal set of items needed to assess or manage DKA. Where data were available for more than one survey (Bangladesh, Senegal, and Haiti), changes in availability of the minimal set and ideal set of items did not exceed 15%. Tertiary facilities performed best in Haiti, Ethiopia, Malawi, Nepal, Senegal, Tanzania, and Afghanistan. Secondary facilities that were rural, public, and had fewer staff had lower capacity. INTERPRETATION Health system capacity to manage DKA was low across these nine LLMICs. Although efforts are underway to strengthen health systems, a specific focus on DKA management is still needed.

Abstract
Animal models have been crucial in understanding the pathogenesis and developing novel therapeutic approaches for fungal infections in general. This is especially true for mucormycosis, which has a low incidence but is often fatal or debilitating. Mucormycoses are caused by different species, via different routes of infections, and in patients differing in their underlying diseases and risk factors. Consequently, clinically relevant animal models use different types of immunosuppression and infection routes.This chapter describes how to induce different types of immunosuppression (high dose corticosteroids and induction of leukopenia, respectively) or diabetic ketoacidosis as underlying risk factors for mucormycosis. Furthermore, it provides details on how to perform intranasal application to establish pulmonary infection. Finally, some clinical parameters that can be used for developing scoring systems and define humane endpoints in mice are discussed.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a class of medications used by individuals with type 2 diabetes that reduce hyperglycaemia by targeting glucose transport in the kidney, preventing its reabsorption, thereby inducing glucosuria. Besides improving HbA1c and reducing body weight and blood pressure, the SGLT2 inhibitors have also been demonstrated to improve cardiovascular and kidney outcomes, an effect largely independent of their effect on blood glucose levels. Indeed, the mechanisms underlying these benefits remain elusive. Treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors has been found to modestly increase systemic ketone levels. Ketone bodies are an ancillary fuel source substituting for glucose in some tissues and may also possess intrinsic anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. Some have proposed that ketones may in fact mediate the cardio-renal benefits of this drug category. However, a rare complication of SGLT2 inhibition is ketoacidosis, sometimes with normal or near-normal blood glucose concentrations, albeit occurring more frequently in patients with type 1 diabetes who are treated (predominately off-label) with one of these agents. We herein explore the notion that an underpinning of one of the more serious adverse effects of SGLT2 inhibitors may, in fact, explain, at least in part, some of their benefits-a potential 'double-edged sword' of this novel drug category.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to determine whether during the year 2020, coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in the incidence of diabetes mellitus in children compared to the previous 2 years. It is also to find out if lockdowns and the difficulty providing face-to-face care in the health system have led to children showing more severe symptoms at the time of diagnosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective observational multicenter study of the province of Tarragona where data is collected from new diagnoses of type 1 diabetes mellitus in patients under the age of 15 during the year 2020 and compared with years 2018 and 2019. RESULTS The number of new diagnoses of type 1 diabetes during 2020 was 37 cases compared to 2019 and 2018 which was 23 and 29 respectively. The median age at onset was 9 years, 54% males. There was an increase in new diagnoses in the range of 10 to14-year-olds, with a decrease in the range of 0-4 year-olds. In 2020, the incidence in the group of patients with families from the Maghreb area rose from 52.2 cases per 100,000 population/year (c/105 p-y) in 2019 to 135.8 in 2020. Compared to the previous year, 2020 showed a significant decrease of ketoacidosis at the onset. None of the patients was diagnosed with COVID-19 during admission. CONCLUSION During the year 2020 concurring with the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an increase in the number of new diagnoses of type 1 diabetes mellitus in pediatrics. Contrary to expectations, the presentation did not worsen by decreasing the proportions of ketoacidosis at onset. This data would suggest that, although attendance in the different health facilities dropped drastically during the year 2020 at the expense of virtual consultations, health systems and families were able to detect the symptoms of the disease early.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), has uncontrollable effects on many organs. A great number of previously published scientific reports have revealed that patients with diabetes mellitus face a more severe form of Covid-19 with a higher death rate. Here we present the case of a 13-year-old unvaccinated boy who was admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with a history of fever, cough, dyspnea, throat pain, nausea, and confusion that progressed to lethargy after 24 h. On clinical examination, he was in a coma with Kussmaul’s breathing, and was anuric. His blood biochemical analysis demonstrated hyperglycemia, severe metabolic acidosis, kidney failure, electrolyte disturbances, and inflammation. Chest x-ray showed pneumonia and a pleural effusion. The results of the SARS-CoV-2 real-time polymerase chain reaction were positive. The patient was diagnosed with Covid-19-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome associated with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children secondary to his acute respiratory failure, acute kidney injury, and new-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus with diabetic ketoacidosis. He was intubated for invasive mechanical ventilation and received a normal saline infusion and continuous insulin infusion (0.1 IU/kg/h) for the treatment of his diabetic ketoacidosis. He was also treated with methylprednisolone, aspirin, and heparin, and underwent continuous renal replacement therapy for acute renal failure for 9 days. The patient was discharged from ICU on day 16 and was followed up regularly as an outpatient with daily treatment, including subcutaneous insulin injection (30 IU/day) and a calcium channel blocker for hypertension (nifedipine 20 mg/day).

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS We assessed the real-world effect of flash monitor (FM) usage on HbA1c levels and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and severe hospitalised hypoglycaemia (SHH) rates among people with type 1 diabetes in Scotland and across sociodemographic strata within this population. METHODS This study was retrospective, observational and registry based. Using the national diabetes registry, 14,682 individuals using an FM at any point between 2014 and mid-2020 were identified. Within-person change from baseline in HbA1c following FM initiation was modelled using linear mixed models accounting for within-person pre-exposure trajectory. DKA and SHH events were captured through linkage to hospital admission and mortality data. The difference in DKA and SHH rates between FM-exposed and -unexposed person-time was assessed among users, using generalised linear mixed models with a Poisson likelihood. In a sensitivity analysis, we tested whether changes in these outcomes were seen in an age-, sex- and baseline HbA1c-matched sample of non-users over the same time period. RESULTS Prevalence of ever-FM use was 45.9% by mid-2020, with large variations by age and socioeconomic status: 64.3% among children aged <13 years vs 32.7% among those aged ≥65 years; and 54.4% vs 36.2% in the least-deprived vs most-deprived quintile. Overall, the median (IQR) within-person change in HbA1c in the year following FM initiation was -2.5 (-9.0, 2.5) mmol/mol (-0.2 [-0.8, 0.2]%). The change varied widely by pre-usage HbA1c: -15.5 (-31.0, -4.0) mmol/mol (-1.4 [-2.8, -0.4]%) in those with HbA1c > 84 mmol/mol [9.8%] and 1.0 (-2.0, 5.5) mmol/mol (0.1 [-0.2, 0.5]%) in those with HbA1c < 54 mmol/mol (7.1%); the corresponding estimated fold change (95% CI) was 0.77 (0.76, 0.78) and 1.08 (1.07, 1.09). Significant reductions in HbA1c were found in all age bands, sexes and socioeconomic strata, and regardless of prior/current pump use, completion of a diabetes education programme or early FM adoption. Variation between the strata of these factors beyond that driven by differing HbA1c at baseline was slight. No change in HbA1c in matched non-users was observed in the same time period (median [IQR] within-person change = 0.5 [-5.0, 5.5] mmol/mol [0.0 (-0.5, 0.5)%]). DKA rates decreased after FM initiation overall and in all strata apart from the adolescents. Estimated overall reduction in DKA event rates (rate ratio) was 0.59 [95% credible interval (CrI) 0.53, 0.64]) after FM vs before FM initiation, accounting for pre-exposure trend. Finally, among those at higher risk for SHH, estimated reduction in event rates was rate ratio 0.25 (95%CrI 0.20, 0.32) after FM vs before FM initiation. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION FM initiation is associated with clinically important reductions in HbA1c and striking reduction in DKA rate. Increasing uptake among the socioeconomically disadvantaged offers considerable potential for tightening the current socioeconomic disparities in glycaemia-related outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) due to Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is rather common. Novel biomarkers to diagnose AKI are being increasingly used in different settings. The use of urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (uNGAL) in predicting persistent AKI in pediatric DKA cases is still not thoroughly investigated. METHODS This was a secondary analysis of Saline versus Plasma-Lyte in Ketoacidosis (SPinK) trial data; 66 children (> 1 month-12 years) with DKA, defined by the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD), were analyzed. Children with cerebral edema, chronic kidney disease and those who received pre-referral fluids and/or insulin were excluded. uNGAL and urine NGAL-creatinine ratio (uNCR) at 0 and 24 h were measured in all. Persistent AKI was defined as a composite outcome of continuance of AKI defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) stage 2 or 3 beyond 48 h from AKI onset, progression of AKI from either KDIGO stage 0 or 1 to a worse stage, need of renal replacement therapy or death. MAIN OUTCOMES Thirty-five (53%) children had AKI at admission; 32 (91.4%) resolved within 48 h. uNGAL was significantly higher in the AKI group at admission [79.8 ± 27.2 vs 54.6 ± 22.0, p = 0.0002] and at 24 h [61.4 ± 28.3 vs 20.2 ± 14.5, p = 0.0003]. Similar trend was observed with uNCR at admission [6.7 ± 3.7 vs 4.1 ± 2.6, p = 0.002] and at 24 h [6.3 ± 2.5 vs 1.2 ± 1.0, p = 0.01]. Furthermore, uNGAL at admission showed a moderate positive linear correlation with serum creatinine. Additionally, elevated uNGAL at 0 and 24 h correlated with corresponding KDIGO stages. Admission uNGAL >88 ng/ml and uNCR of >11.3 ng/mg had a sensitivity of 66% and 67%, specificity of 76% and 95%, and Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.78 and 0.89 respectively for predicting persistent AKI at 48 h. CONCLUSIONS Majority of AKI resolved with fluid therapy. While uNGAL and uNCR both correlated with serum creatinine and AKI stages, serial uNCR was a better predictor of persistent AKI than uNGAL alone. However, feasibility of routine uNGAL measurement to predict persistent AKI in DKA needs further elucidation. TRIAL REGISTRATION This was a secondary analysis of the data of SPinK trial [CTRI/2018/05/014042 ( ctri.nic.in )].

Abstract
BACKGROUND One possible reason for increased mortality due to SARS-CoV-2 in patients with diabetes is from the complication of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). OBJECTIVES To re-evaluate the association of SARS-CoV-2 and development of DKA and analyse the demographic and biochemical parameters and the clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients with DKA. DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement was followed. METHODS Electronic databases (Proquest, Medline, Embase, Pubmed, CINAHL, Wiley online library, Scopus and Nature) were searched from 1 December 2019 to 30 June 2021 in the English language using the following keywords alone or in combination: COVID-19 OR SARS-CoV-2 AND diabetic ketoacidosis OR DKA OR ketosis OR ketonemia OR hyperglycaemic emergency OR hyperglycaemic crisis. We included studies in adults and children of all ages in all healthcare settings. Binary logistic regression model was used to explore the effect of various demographic and biochemical parameters variables on patient's final treatment outcome (survival or death). RESULTS Of the 484 papers that were identified, 68 articles were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis (54 case report, 10 case series, and 4 cohort studies). Studies involving 639 DKA patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 [46 (7.2%) were children and 334 (52.3%) were adults] were analyzed. The median or mean patient age ranged from < 1 years to 66 years across studies. Most of the patients (n = 309, 48.3%) had pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus. The majority of the patients were male (n = 373, 58.4%) and belonged to Hispanic (n = 156, 24.4%) and black (n = 98, 15.3%) ethnicity. The median random blood glucose level, HbA1c, pH, bicarbonate, and anion gap in all included patients at presentation were 507 mg/dl [IQR 399-638 mg/dl], 11.4% [IQR 9.9-13.5%], 7.16 [IQR 7.00-7.22], 10 mmol/l [IQR 6.9-13 mmol/l], and 24.5 mEq/l [18-29.2 mEq/l]; respectively. Mortality rate was [63/243, 25.9%], with a majority of death in patients of Hispanic ethnicity (n = 17, 27%; p = 0.001). The odd ratios of death were significantly high in patients with pre-existing diabetes mellitus type 2 [OR 5.24, 95% CI 2.07-15.19; p = 0.001], old age (≥ 60 years) [OR 3.29, 95% CI 1.38-7.91; p = 0.007], and male gender [OR 2.61, 95% CI 1.37-5.17; p = 0.004] compared to those who survived. CONCLUSION DKA is not uncommon in SARS-CoV-2 patients with diabetes mellitus and results in a mortality rate of 25.9%. Mortality key determinants in DKA patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection are individuals with pre-existing diabetes mellitus type 2, older age [≥ 60 years old], male gender, BMI ≥ 30, blood glucose level > 1000 mg/dl, and anion gap ≥ 30 mEq/l.

Abstract
Diabetes is a widely spread disease affecting the quality of life of millions of people around the world and is associated to a higher risk of developing infections in different parts of the body. The reasons why diabetes enhances infection episodes are not entirely clear; in this study our aim was to explore the changes that one of the most frequently pathogenic bacteria undergoes when exposed to hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis conditions. Physical surface properties such as hydrophobicity and surface electrical charge are related to bacterial growth behavior and the ability of Staphylococcus aureus to form biofilms. The addition of glucose made bacteria more negatively charged and with moderate-intermediate hydrophobicity. Ketone bodies increased hydrophobicity to approximately 75% and pathological concentrations hindered some of the bacterial surface charge by decreasing the negative zeta potential of cells. When both components were present, the bacterial physical surface changes were more similar to those observed in ketone bodies, suggesting a preferential adsorption of ketone bodies over glucose because of the more favorable solubility of glucose in water. Glucose diabetic concentrations gave the highest number of bacteria in the stationary phase of growth and provoked an increase in the biofilm slime index of around 400% in relation to the control state. Also, this situation is related with an increase of bacterial coverage. The combination of a high concentration of glucose and ketone bodies, which corresponds to a poorly controlled diabetic situation, appears associated with an early infection phase; increased hydrophobic attractive force and reduced electrostatic repulsion between cells results in better packing of cells within the biofilm and more efficient retention to the host surface. Knowledge of bacterial response in high amount of glucose and ketoacidosis environments can serve as a basis for designing strategies to prevent bacterial adhesion, biofilm formation and, consequently, the development of infections.

Abstract
Background Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious complication of type 1 diabetes. A few studies have reported that COVID-19 is associated with the development of new-onset diabetes. Here, we present an infected child with new onset diabetes leading to DKA. Case presentation A 10-year-old patient with respiratory distress admitted to the Emergency Department of our center. The patient’s COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test was positive and also biochemical analyses confirmed that he had DKA. Despite standard initial treatments, ketoacidosis remained resistant; hence we prescribed oral bicarbonate (40 cc every 8 h) to treat the patient's refractory acidosis. Due to the patient’s improvement, he was discharged after 10 days (7 days in the PICU), receiving outpatient enoxaparin (for a week) and ongoing subcutaneous insulin. Conclusion We report an interesting case of a child with COVID-19 infection precipitating presentation with new onset diabetes. Due to refractory acidosis, starting oral bicarbonate treatment after 2 days improved acidosis and tachypnea in the patient. The patient’s medical team suggest close biochemical monitoring, prescribing enoxaparin for high level of D-dimer, and ordering oral bicarbonate acidosis persists.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The remarkable ability of the body to adapt to long-term starvation has been critical for survival of primitive man. An appreciation of these processes can provide the clinician better insight into many clinical conditions characterized by ketoacidosis. SUMMARY The body adapts to long-term fasting by conserving nitrogen, as the brain increasingly utilizes keto acids, sparing the need for glucose. This shift in fuel utilization decreases the need for mobilization of amino acids from the muscle for purposes of gluconeogenesis. Loss of urinary nitrogen is initially in the form of urea when hepatic gluconeogenesis is dominant and later as ammonia reflecting increased glutamine uptake by the kidney. The carbon skeleton of glutamine is utilized for glucose production and regeneration of consumed HCO3-. The replacement of urea with NH4+ provides the osmoles needed for urine flow and waste product excretion. Over time, the urinary loss of nitrogen is minimized as kidney uptake of filtered ketone bodies becomes more complete. Adjustments in urine Na+ serve to minimize kidney K+ wasting and, along with changes in urine pH, minimize the likelihood of uric acid precipitation. There is a sexual dimorphism in response to starvation. Key Message: Ketoacidosis is a major feature of common clinical conditions to include diabetic ketoacidosis, alcoholic ketoacidosis, salicylate intoxication, SGLT2 inhibitor therapy, and calorie sufficient but carbohydrate-restricted diets. Familiarity with the pathophysiology and metabolic consequences of ketogenesis is critical, given the potential for the clinician to encounter one of these conditions.

Abstract
Peripartale Notfälle, die intensivmedizinisch behandelt werden müssen, stellen eine große Herausausforderung an das interdisziplinäre Behandlungsteam dar. Aufgrund physiologischer Veränderungen der Schwangeren können Symptome maskiert und eine Therapieeinleitung verzögert werden. Die peripartale Sepsis weist eine relativ hohe Inzidenz auf. Die antiinfektive Therapie richtet sich nach dem zu erwartenden Keimspektrum. Endokrinologische Notfälle sind selten, können jedoch fulminant und tödlich sein. Die Entstehung einer Ketoacidose wird durch erniedrigte Bikarbonatpuffer und Plazentahormone begünstigt. Im Rahmen einer Thyreotoxikose stehen zur Therapie Propylthiouracil und Thiamazol in Abhängigkeit vom Gestationszeitpunkt zur Verfügung. Das Sheehan-Syndrom ist eine Infarzierung des Hypophysenvorderlappens im Rahmen einer Hämorrhagie. Durch Produktionsausfall lebenswichtiger Hormone kann dieses letal enden. Ebenso akut ist die Entstehung eines Lungenödems. Dieses wird durch physiologische Veränderungen während der Schwangerschaft begünstigt. Kausal ist für die Therapie die Unterscheidung eines hyper- oder hypotensiven Lungenödems von Bedeutung.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Euglycaemic ketoacidosis (EKA) is an infrequent but serious condition which usually follows a period of starvation, severe vomiting or illness in individuals with or without diabetes. Ketoacidosis is associated with materno-fetal morbidity and mortality necessitating prompt diagnosis and management. Physiological increases in insulin resistance render pregnancy a diabetogenic state with increased susceptibility to ketosis. COVID-19 is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with diabetes and is an independent risk factor for ketoacidosis in normoglycaemic individuals. CASE PRESENTATIONS We describe two cases of SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnant women presenting with normoglycaemic metabolic ketoacidosis. Both cases were associated with maternal and fetal compromise, requiring aggressive fluid and insulin resuscitation and early delivery.

Abstract
Background Euglycaemic ketoacidosis (EKA) is an infrequent but serious condition which usually follows a period of starvation, severe vomiting or illness in individuals with or without diabetes. Ketoacidosis is associated with materno-fetal morbidity and mortality necessitating prompt diagnosis and management. Physiological increases in insulin resistance render pregnancy a diabetogenic state with increased susceptibility to ketosis. COVID-19 is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with diabetes and is an independent risk factor for ketoacidosis in normoglycaemic individuals. Case presentations We describe two cases of SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnant women presenting with normoglycaemic metabolic ketoacidosis. Both cases were associated with maternal and fetal compromise, requiring aggressive fluid and insulin resuscitation and early delivery. Conclusion We discuss possible physiology and propose a management strategy for euglycaemic ketoacidosis in pregnancy.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Our aim was to assess the use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in people with type 1 diabetes in Scotland and its association with glycaemic control, as measured by HbA1c levels, frequency of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and severe hospitalised hypoglycaemia (SHH), overall and stratified by baseline HbA1c. METHODS We included 4684 individuals with type 1 diabetes from the national Scottish register, who commenced CSII between 2004 and 2019. We presented crude within-person differences from baseline HbA1c over time since initiation, crude DKA and SHH event-rates pre-/post-CSII exposure. We then used mixed models to assess the significance of CSII exposure, taking into account: (1) the diffuse nature of the intervention (i.e. structured education often precedes initiation); (2) repeated within-person measurements; and (3) background time-trends occurring pre-intervention. RESULTS HbA1c decreased after CSII initiation, with a median within-person change of -5.5 mmol/mol (IQR -12.0, 0.0) (-0.5% [IQR -1.1, 0.0]). Within-person changes were most substantial in those with the highest baseline HbA1c, with median -21.0 mmol/mol (-30.0, -11.0) (-1.9% [-2.7, -1.0]) change in those with a baseline >84 mmol/mol (9.8%) within a year of exposure, that was sustained: -19.0 mmol/mol (-27.6, -6.5) (-1.7% [-2.5, -0.6]) at ≥5 years. Statistical significance and magnitude of change were supported by the mixed models results. The crude DKA event-rate was significantly lower in post-CSII person-time compared with pre-CSII person-time: 49.6 events (95% CI 46.3, 53.1) per 1000 person-years vs 67.9 (64.1, 71.9); rate ratio from Bayesian mixed models adjusting for pre-exposure trend: 0.61 (95% credible interval [CrI] 0.47, 0.77; posterior probability of reduction pp = 1.00). The crude overall SHH event-rate in post-CSII vs pre-CSII person-time was also lower: 17.8 events (95% CI 15.8, 19.9) per 1000 person-years post-exposure vs 25.8 (23.5, 28.3) pre-exposure; rate ratio from Bayesian mixed models adjusting for pre-exposure trend: 0.67 (95% CrI 0.45, 1.01; pp = 0.97). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION CSII therapy was associated with marked falls in HbA1c especially in those with high baseline HbA1c. CSII was independently associated with reduced DKA and SHH rates. CSII appears to be an effective option for intensive insulin therapy in people with diabetes for improving suboptimal glycaemic control.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To assess the risk of occurrence and potential determinants of metabolic disorders in adult patients treated with second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) under real-world practice conditions. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycInfo were searched in July 2019 from database inception. We included population-based, longitudinal, comparative studies that report the results of the outcomes of interest for adult participants, including diabetes, ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, weight gain/obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome. Two reviewers independently extracted data on the study design, study quality, and study outcomes. RESULTS We included 40 studies. Most studies showed that clozapine and olanzapine were associated with an increased likelihood of developing diabetes, while the results for risperidone and quetiapine were mixed. Although less well studied, ziprasidone and aripiprazole appeared to not be associated with the occurrence of diabetes. Information on antipsychotic-induced weight gain/obesity is extremely scarce. Regarding dyslipidemia, aripiprazole was not associated with an increased likelihood of developing dyslipidemia, clozapine was associated with an increased likelihood of developing dyslipidemia, and risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, and ziprasidone showed mixed results. Two studies suggested an association between ziprasidone and the occurrence of hypertension. Several studies found that the occurrence of a metabolic disorder acted as a risk factor for the development of other metabolic disorders. We did not find information on brexpiprazole, cariprazine, or lurasidone, and data on any long-acting SGA were lacking. CONCLUSION Although there are relevant differences among SGAs concerning the risk of metabolic disorders, it appears that none of the SGAs included in our review are fully devoid of these disturbances.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to examine the impact of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic on diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) rates in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS A retrospective cross-sectional study of 11 Israeli pediatric emergency departments (ED) was conducted. Children with T1D who attended the ED between March 1, 2020 and May 31, 2020 were compared with those who attended the ED between March 1, 2019 and May 31, 2019. RESULTS Overall, 150 and 154 children with T1D attended the EDs during the 3-month study periods in 2020 and 2019, respectively. Among patients with established T1D, DKA rates significantly increased in 2020 compared to 2019 [38/64 (59.3%) vs 31/74 (41.9%); p < 0.043]. There was a non-statistically significant trend toward a higher rate of DKA in patients with newly diagnosed T1D [46/86 (53.4%) vs 31/80 (38.7%); p = 0.063]. No differences were observed in the rates of severe DKA in 2020 compared to 2019 among patients with established T1D [10/64 (15.6%) vs 6/74 (8.1%); p = 0.184], and newly diagnosed T1D [16/86 (18.6%) vs 14/80 (17.5%); p = 0.858]. No differences were observed in the rates of intensive care unit admissions in 2020 compared to 2019 among patients with established T1D [14/64 (21.8%) vs 14/74 (18.9%); p = 0.672], and newly diagnosed T1D [26/86 (30.2%) vs 21/80 (26.2%); p = 0.977]. CONCLUSIONS Increased rates of DKA in children with established T1D were observed during the first 3 months of the outbreak in Israel. The findings suggest that the severity of DKA at ED presentation in children with T1D was not influenced by the pandemic.

Abstract
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute complication of diabetes mellitus that can be associated with increased morbidity and mortality, particularly if it is diagnosed late and not treated appropriately. The management of DKA includes careful clinical evaluation, correction of metabolic abnormalities with intravenous fluids, insulin and electrolyte replacement with frequent monitoring of the patients' clinical and laboratory findings and also identification and treatment of the precipitating condition. There are special populations where features, management and outcome may differ from the usual patient with diabetes. Data on management of DKA in such special populations such as chronic kidney disease and pregnancy are sparse and recommendations are based mainly on small case series and expert opinion. Clinicians need to recognize and manage euglycaemic DKA in patients prescribed sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors. DKA is particularly a major health concern due to high rates of hospital admissions and mortality in resource-limited settings due to financial constraints, limiting the adequate provision of insulin and access to health care systems, and dysfunctional health systems. We review the challenges of diagnosis and management of DKA in these specific groups and provide recommendations on optimal patient care.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced diabetes mellitus (ICI-DM) is an immune-related adverse drug reaction (irADR). Hyperglycemia can be linked to endogenous insulin deficiency with ketoacidosis or associated with preserved beta-cell function. OBJECTIVES We aimed to identify the characteristics of both types of ICI-DM (type 1 and type 2 DM), to improve our understanding of this irADR and its management. METHODS Data for ICI-DM recorded in the French Pharmacovigilance Database from 2015 to October 2019 were analyzed according to the French causality assessment. RESULTS In total, 60 subjects were included. Anti-PD1/PDL1 pathway blockade therapy (nivolumab: 61.7%+3.3% in association with ipilimumab pembrolizumab: 28.3%) was most frequently implicated in ICI-DM, but some reports involved anti-CTLA4 drug (ipilimumab: 6.7%+3.3% in association with nivolumab). One third of reports occurred within one month of the initiation of immunotherapy. Decreased insulin secretion (defined by the presence of ketone bodies) were confirmed in 80% of reports. Among them, 54% of patients met the diagnostic criteria for fulminant diabetes. Overall, 17.7% of the reports had pre-existing type 2 diabetes T2D. Four deaths due to hyperglycemia were declared, with altered insulin secretion in only two of these reports. BMI was lower in the insulinopenic group (23.4±0.7 vs. 27.9±1.6, P=0.004) and other irADRs were more frequently observed in patients with persistent insulin secretion (66.7 vs. 18.8%, P=0.02). We found no difference in age, indication or cumulative ICI dose between the two groups (with and without insulinopenia). The presence of GAD antibodies was associated with a shorter time to diabetes onset (42.6±6.1 vs. 208.1±41.6 days, P=0.029). CONCLUSIONS ICI-DM is a rare but serious irADR triggered by all classes of immunotherapy. The observation period for ICI-DM can be shortened for patients positive for anti-GAD antibodies. Endogenous insulin deficiency did not appear to be the only mechanism involved in ICI-DM, as beta-cell function was preserved in 20% of reports. Improvements in our understanding of this complication will be required for its prevention.

Abstract
Unexpected death caused by diabetic or alcoholic ketoacidosis is easily overlooked due to the non-specific symptoms. Although the acid betahydroxybutyrate (BHB) is the most abundant ketone body formed in conditions with ketoacidosis, routine analysis in postmortem investigations often only includes the neutral ketone body acetone. This study aims to evaluate the usefulness of implementing routine BHB analysis in postmortem cases, by investigating the relationship between BHB and acetone concentrations in postmortem blood and the main cause of death. From our database of forensic autopsy cases examined from 2012 to 2015, there were 376 cases with BHB and/or acetone detected in postmortem blood that could be paired with data from the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry. Cases were categorized into three groups based on cause of death: "Diabetes-related" (n = 38), "Alcohol-related" (n = 35) and "Other" (n = 303). Analysis of BHB in blood was performed using UHPLC-MS/MS (limit of quantification (LOQ) 52 mg/L) and of acetone using HS-GC-FID (LOQ 87 mg/L). For the purpose of the study, the acetone method was also validated for a LOQ of 23 mg/L. The median BHB concentration was significantly higher in the group of diabetes-related deaths (671 mg/L, range 68-1311 mg/L) compared to the group of alcohol-related (304 mg/L, range 65-1555 mg/L, p <0.001) and other causes of deaths (113 mg/L, range 0-1402 mg/L, p <0.001). In seven deaths (1.9%), the BHB blood concentration was above the suggested pathological threshold of 250 mg/L, without detection of acetone in blood above 23 mg/L. In 15% of deaths by other causes than diabetes or alcohol, a pathologically significant BHB blood concentration was detected. Our results indicate that BHB is a more reliable marker of pathologically significant ketoacidosis than acetone, and we suggest that BHB should be routinely analyzed in postmortem investigations.

Abstract
Succinyl-CoA:3-oxoacid coenzyme A transferase deficiency (SCOTD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of ketone body utilization caused by mutations in OXCT1. We performed a systematic literature search and evaluated clinical, biochemical and genetic data on 34 previously published and 10 novel patients with SCOTD. Structural mapping and in silico analysis of protein variants is also presented. All patients presented with severe ketoacidotic episodes. Age at first symptoms ranged from 36 h to 3 years (median 7 months). About 70% of patients manifested in the first year of life, approximately one quarter already within the neonatal period. Two patients died, while the remainder (95%) were alive at the time of the report. Almost all the surviving patients (92%) showed normal psychomotor development and no neurologic abnormalities. A total of 29 missense mutations are reported. Analysis of the published crystal structure of the human SCOT enzyme, paired with both sequence-based and structure-based methods to predict variant pathogenicity, provides insight into the biochemical consequences of the reported variants. Pathogenic variants cluster in SCOT protein regions that affect certain structures of the protein. The described pathogenic variants can be viewed in an interactive map of the SCOT protein at https://michelanglo.sgc.ox.ac.uk/r/oxct. This comprehensive data analysis provides a systematic overview of all cases of SCOTD published to date. Although SCOTD is a rather benign disorder with often favourable outcome, metabolic crises can be life-threatening or even fatal. As the diagnosis can only be made by enzyme studies or mutation analyses, SCOTD may be underdiagnosed.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may lead to new-onset diabetes mellitus (DM). This may occur even in patients without predisposing factors for impaired glucose metabolism. Both impaired pancreatic insulin secretion and insulin resistance have been implicated as underlying mechanisms. Importantly, new-onset hyperglycaemia is associated with worse prognosis in patients with COVID-19. Indeed, its prognosis may be even more sinister than in patients with pre-existing DM. More research data and knowledge are currently being collected to improve our insights into this constellation and to guide therapies in clinical reality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Intermittent as well as prolonged fasting are receiving considerable attention and appear favorable in conditions such as metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and rheumatic diseases. Fasting for individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is generally considered too risky. However, the ability and possibility to change from carbohydrate- to ketone-based fuel supply might be relevant for individuals with T1D. The aim of this patient-led research was to investigate the feasibility, benefit, and safety of a 7-d multimodal fasting intervention in individuals with T1D. METHODS This was a non-randomized controlled pilot study, with 20 participants with T1D and 10 without the disease. Data acquisition took place before, after, and 4 mo after the intervention and daily during intervention. RESULTS Of the individuals with T1D, 19 finished fasting. A mean β-hydroxybutyrate as representative ketone body increased to 2.8 ± 1.9 mmol/L on day 7; whereas average glucose remained between 4.9 (±1.5) and 7.5 (±2.3) mmol/L (89 ± 27 and 136 ± 40 mg/dL). Mean daily insulin dose was adjusted from 24.4 (3-50) IU on the day before fasting to 7.6 (0-26.7) IU on day 7. Quality of life (WHO-5) normalized from 54 (±4.4) to 68.8 (±15; P = 0.01) after fasting. There was a decrease from before until the follow-up 4 mo later of weight from 77.6 (±20.4) to 76.6 (±20.9) kg (P = 0.023) and for body mass index from 27.68 (±7.04) to 26.74 (±7.15) kg/m2 (P = 0.008). Diastolic blood pressure increased from 69.75 (±11.41) to 75.74 (±8.42) mm Hg (P = 0.028) and stayed in a healthy range on average. Fasting-related side effects were all temporary, and slightly more prevalent in those with type 1 diabetes compared with the reference group. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated the feasibility, benefits, and safety aspects of a 7-d fast in adults with T1D.

Abstract
Hyperglycaemia during inpatient admission is indicative of higher morbidity and mortality risks in critically ill patients. The severe acute respiratory distress coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been reported to induce ketoacidosis and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) even in nondiabetic patients. The pathophysiology of the SARS-CoV-2 infection that can contribute to hyperglycaemia, and the exacerbated inflammatory cytokine storm can overlap with the metabolic chronic inflammatory state attributable to the metabolic syndrome, which underlies diabetes mellitus. In this report, we explore the possible pathophysiology and metabolic mechanisms that lead to metabolic acidosis in nondiabetic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is potentially a lethal complication of uncontrolled, especially type 1, diabetes. Understanding the mechanisms underlying adipokine involvement in the regulation of glucose metabolism is important to prevent complications of hyperglycemia. The role of novel adipokines during DKA in human remains unclear. METHOD The method is to determine the changes in the circulating levels of adiponectin, visfatin, and omentin after treating DKA in the patients referred to Shohadaye Khalij-e-Fars hospital at the Bushehr University of Medical Sciences. Measuring adipokines (adiponectin, visfatin, and omentin) in 31 patients with DKA who are admitted in Shohadaye Khalij-e-Fars hospital at the Bushehr University of Medical Sciences. Adipokines are measured at the time of admission and after recovery from DKA, using ELISA method. RESULTS After recovery from DKA, omentin-1 serum concentration decreased significantly (from 183 to 165), but adiponectin and visfatin did not change significantly. CONCLUSION Omentin-1 may play a significant role in insulin resistance during the DKA and could be potentially recommended as a marker of recovery in DKA.
