insulin resistance is present no associated genetic predisposition Classification : Classification Secondary Diabetes occurs in response to other disease processes: exocrine pancreatic disease (cystic fibrosis) Cushing syndrome poison ingestion (rodenticides) Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Epidemiology : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Epidemiology Prevalence of IDDM among school-age children in the US is 1.9 per 1000 The annual incidence in the US is about 12 - 15 new cases per 100,000 Male to female ratio is equal Among African-Americans, the occurrence of IDDM is about 20 - 30% of that seen in Caucasian-Americans Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Epidemiology : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Epidemiology Peaks of presentation occur at 5 - 7 years of age and at adolescence Newly recognized cases appear with greater frequency in the autumn and winter Definite increased incidence of IDDM in children with congenital rubella syndrome Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Etiology and Pathogenesis : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Etiology and Pathogenesis Basic cause of clinical findings is sharply diminished secretion of insulin The mechanisms that lead to failure of pancreatic -cell function are likely autoimmune destruction of pancreatic islets IDDM is more prevalent in persons with Addison’s disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and pernicious anemia Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Etiology and Pathogenesis : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Etiology and Pathogenesis 80 - 90% of newly diagnosed patients with IDDM have anti-islet cell antibodies Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Pathophysiology : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Pathophysiology Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Pathophysiology : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Pathophysiology Progressive destruction of -cells leads to a progressive deficiency of insulin As IDDM evolves, it becomes a permanent low-insulin catabolic state which feeding does not reverse Secondary changes involving stress hormones accelerate the metabolic decompensation Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Pathophysiology : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Pathophysiology With progressive insulin deficiency, excessive glucose production and impairment of utilization result in hyperglycemia, with glucosuria developing when the renal threshold of ~ 180 mg/dL is exceeded The resultant osmotic diuresis produces polyuria, urinary losses of electrolytes, dehydration, and compensatory polydipsia Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Pathophysiology : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Pathophysiology Hyperosmolality as a result of progressive hyperglycemia contributes to cerebral obtundation in DKA Serum osmolality: {Serum Na+ + K+} x 2 + glucose + BUN 18 3 Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Pathophysiology : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Pathophysiology DKA results in altered lipid metabolism increased concentrations of total lipids, cholesterol, triglycerides, and free fatty acids free fatty acids are shunted into ketone body formation due to lack of insulin; the rate of formation exceeds the capacity for their peripheral utilization and renal excretion leading to accumulation of ketoacids, and therefore metabolic acidosis Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Pathophysiology : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Pathophysiology With progressive dehydration, acidosis, hyperosmolality, and diminished cerebral oxygen utilization, consciousness becomes impaired, and the patient ultimately becomes comatose Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Clinical Manifestations : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Clinical Manifestations Classic presentation of diabetes in children is a history of polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, and weight loss, usually for up to one month Laboratory findings include glucosuria, ketonuria, hyperglycemia, ketonemia, and metabolic acidosis. Serum amylase may be elevated. Leukocytosis is common Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Clinical Manifestations : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Clinical Manifestations Keotacidosis is responsible for the initial presentation of IDDM in up to 25% of children early manifestations are mild and include vomiting, polyuria, and dehydration More severe cases include Kussmaul respirations, odor of acetone on the breath abdominal pain or rigidity may be present and mimic acute appendicitis or pancreatitis cerebral obtundation and coma ultimately ensue Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Diagnosis : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Diagnosis Diagnosis of IDDM is dependent on the demonstration of hyperglycemia in association with glucosuria with or without ketonuria DKA must be differentiated from acidosis and coma due to other causes: hypoglycemia, uremia, gastroenteritis with metabolic acidosis, lactic acidosis, salicylate intoxication, encephalitis Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Diagnosis : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Diagnosis DKA exists when there is hyperglycemia (> 300 mg/dL), ketonemia, acidosis, glucosuria, and ketonuria Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment Treatment is divided into 3 phases treatment of ketoacidosis transition period continuing phase and guidance Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment Goals of treatment of DKA intravascular volume expansion correction of deficits in fluids, electrolytes, and acid-base status initiation of insulin therapy to correct catabolism, acidosis Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment Intravascular volume expansion dehydration is most commonly in the order of 10% initial hydrating fluid should be isotonic saline this alone will often slightly lower the blood glucose rarely is more than 20 cc/kg fluid required to restore hemodynamics Treatment of electrolyte abnormalities serum K+ is often elevated, though total body K+ is depleted K+ is started early as resolution of acidosis and the administration of insulin will cause a decrease in serum K+ Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment Phosphate is depleted as well. Phosphate may be added as KPO4 especially if serum chloride becomes elevated “Pseudohyponatremia” is often present Expect that the Na+ level will rise during treatment Corrected Na+ = Measured Na+ + 0.016(measured glucose - 100) If Na+ does not rise, true hyponatremia may be present (possibly increasing cerebral edema risk) and should be treated Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment BICARBONATE IS ALMOST NEVER ADMINISTERED bicarbonate administration leads to increased cerebral acidosis HCO3- combines with H+ and dissociated to CO2 and H2O. Whereas bicarbonate passes the blood-brain barrier slowly, CO2 diffuses freely, thereby exacerbating cerebral acidosis and cerebral depression Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment Indications for bicarbonate administration include severe acidosis leading to cardiorespiratory compromise Increasing evidence suggests that subclinical cerebral edema occurs in the majority of patients treated with fluids and insulin for DKA Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment Cerebral edema is the major life-threatening complication seen in the treatment of children with DKA clinically apparent cerebral edema occurs in ~1% of episodes of DKA mortality is 40 - 90% cerebral edema is responsible for 50 - 60% of diabetes deaths in children Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment Cerebral edema usually develops several hours after the institution of therapy manifestations include headache, alteration in level of consciousness, bradycardia, emesis, diminished responsiveness to painful stimuli, and unequal or fixed, dilated pupils Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment Excessive use of fluids, large doses of insulin, and especially the use of bicarbonate have been linked to the increased formation of cerebral edema fluids are generally limited to ~ 3 L/m2/24 hours Children who present with elevated BUN, PaCO2 < 15 torr, or who demonstrate a lack of an increase in serum Na+ during therapy have an increased probability of cerebral edema Therapy of cerebral edema may include treatment with mannitol, hypertonic saline and hyperventilation Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment Insulin Therapy continuous infusion of low-dose insulin IV (~ 0.1 U/kg/hr) is effective, simple, and physiologically sound goal is to slowly decrease serum glucose (< 100 mg/dL/hr frequent laboratory and blood gas analyses are obtained to ensure ongoing resolution of metabolic acidosis Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment “Maintenance” IV fluid at a rate of 2000 - 2400 cc/m2/day consists of 2/3 NS (0.66%) or NS 5% Dextrose is added to IVF when blood glucose is ~ 300 mg/dL 10% Dextrose is added when blood glucose is ~ 200 mg/dL Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment Insulin is used to treat acidosis, not hyperglycemia insulin should never be stopped if ongoing acidosis persists When the acidosis is corrected, the continuous insulin infusion may be discontinued and subcutaneous insulin initiated With this regimen, DKA usually is usually fully corrected in 36 to 48 hours Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment : Type I Diabetes Mellitus: Treatment Hypoglycemic Reactions (Insulin Shock) symptoms and signs include pallor, sweating, apprehension, trembling, tachycardia, hunger, drowsiness, mental confusion, seizures and coma management includes administration (if conscious) of carbohydrate-containing snack or drink glucagon 0.5 mg is administered to an unconscious or vomiting child Suggested Reading : Suggested Reading Glaser N, et al.
