Causes of poor metabolic control
mental health disorder
eating disorder
low SES
Low family support
higher family conflict
Cause of DKA
insulin omission
poor sick day management
Increased risk DKA
New onset:
Age <3yo
From areas with low prevalence of DM
Established DM:
poor metabolic control
prev episode of DKA
peripubertal
adolescent girls
CSII
ethnic minorities
psychiatric d/o
difficult family circumstances
Decreased freq of DKA - how?
Education
Behavioural intervention
family support

Risk factors for cerebral edema during tx DKA
- Young age
- New onset DM
- Greater severity of acidosis
- High initial serum urea
- Low initial pCO2
- Rapid administration of hypotonic fluids
- IV bolus of insulin
- early IV insulin infusion (within 1st hour of admin of IVF)
- failure of serum Na to rise during tx
- use of bicarb

% adolesent females with T1DM w ED
10%
Why is ED bad in DKA
poor metabolic control
earlier onset and more rapid progression of microvascular complications
Comorbid conditions of T1DM and their %
autoimmune thyroid disease - 10%
1ary adrenal insufficiency - rare
celiac disease - 4-9%
Comorbid conditions in T1DM - who to screen, how and when
- Autoimmune thyroid disease
- everyone
- TSH, anti-TPO (don’t repeat TPO if already pos)
- at dx, q2y
- if TPO +ve or SX-ic, q6-12m - Primary adrenal insufficiency
- Sx’ic (unexplained hypoglycemias, decreased need insulin)
- AM cortisol, Na, K
- as clinically indicated - Celiac disease
- Sx’ic (GI sx, poor linear growth, recurrent hypo, poor weight gain, fatigue, anemia, poor control)
- TTG and IgA
- as clinically indicated
Complications of T1DM
Nephropathy
Dyslipidemia
Retinopathy
Neuropathy
Hypertension
How to screen for nephropathy in T1DM
random ACRs (more compliance than first morning)
if abnormal (i.e. >2.5 mg/mmol) require confirmation with a first morning ACR or timed overnight urine collection
24h urine collection = gold standard
confirmed by finding two or all of three samples abnormal over a 3 to 6 month period
only tx if persistent
False positive for proteinuria
- Transient albuminuria
- Benign orthostatic proteinuria
- exercise induced proteinuria
- infections ex UTI
- nondiabetic kidney disease (i.e., IgA or other types of nephritis)
- acute marked hyperglycemia
- acute marked elevation in BP
- fever
- menstrual bleeding
- decompensative CHF
When to screen in T1DM: Nephropathy
Yearly starting age 12y and 5y duration
When to screen in T1DM:
Retinopathy
yearly starting age 15y and 5y duration
can go to 2y if good glycemic control and <10y duration
Screening for retinopathy
7-standard field, stereoscopic-colour fundus photography with interpretation by trained reader (gold standard)
direct ophthalmoscopy or indirect slit-lamp fundoscopy through dilated pupil
digital fundus photography
When to screen in T1DM:
Retinopathy
15y and older if poor metabolic control and 5y duration
yearly
When to screen in T1DM: dyslipidemia
age 12y and 17y
delay after dx until metabolic control
if <12y, screen if BMI> 97th %ile, FH of dyslipidemia or CVD
How to screen dyslipidemia in T1DM
fasting or non fasting:
Total ch
HDL-C
TG
Calc LDL-C
non fasting okay if TG not elevated
if TG >4.5 do fasting (>8h)
When to screen in T1DM:
hypertension
all children
q6months
When and how to treat nephropathy in T1DM
only if persistent >3 months
confirm not other cause w urine dip and microscopy - cast, blood
ACEi
ARB
Risks for dyslipidemia in T1DM
longer duration of DM
microvascular complications or other CV RF (smoking, hon, obesity, fhx premature cvd)
