CONCLUSION: The findings possibly indicate a decreasing age of T1DM onset. The high frequency of ketoacidosis at presentation is noteworthy. Girls had higher rates of ketoacidosis, higher frequency of anti-thyroid antibodies and higher insulin requirements as compared to boys. Patients with a family history of T1DM had higher initial glucose levels and higher frequency of anti-endomysial antibodies. PMID: 25800476 [PubMed - in process]
