| Popis: | Over the years, adolescents have been diagnosed to be diabetic, the type of which do not fit into the classical types of diabetes - type 1 and type 2. These cases have been reported round the globe. They share features of both types of diabetes like obesity, acanathosis nigricans along with insulin resistance and can even have complications like Diabetic ketoacidosis. The present case study is about a newly diagnosed obese adolescent diabetic patient with acanthosis nigricans presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis who responded to standard treatment of Diabetic ketoacidosis. Subsequently, he was found to have low levels of C-peptide without insulin autoantibodies. Such cases have been variously referred as Double diabetes or 1.5 diabetes in literature and may constitute a subvariant of Diabetes. |
