Overview
If left untreated, patients with [type 1 DM] may progress to develop complications of the hyperglycemia state, which commonly include diabetes ketoacidosis and hyperglycemia hyperosmolar state. Prognosis is generally good with compliance with medications.
Natural History
The symptoms of type 1 diabetes mellitus usually develop in the first and decade of life, and start with non-specific symptoms of classic new onset type 1 Diabetes mellitus or acute symptoms with diabetic ketoacidosis. Without treatment, the patient will develop complications of type 1 Diabetes mellitus.[1]
Complications
Complications for type 1 DM include:[2][3][4][5]
Complications of Diabetes | |
---|---|
Acute complications due to hyperglycemia | |
Microvascular complications | Eye disease
Neuropathy Sensory and motor (mono- and polyneuropathy) and Autonomic neuropathy Nephropathy (albuminuria and declining renal function) |
Macrovascular complications | Coronary heart disease |
Other | Gastrointestinal (gastroparesis, diarrhea)
Genitourinary (uropathy/sexual dysfunction) Cheiroarthropathya(thickened skin and reduced joint mobility) Periodontal disease Fatty liver disease, Osteoporosis (in type 1 diabetes) Low testosterone in men |
- In a control study patients with diabetes type 1 had significantly lower total body bone mineral density (BMD) z-score values. Lower levels of osteocalcin, C-terminal telopeptide, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium have been found in patients with type 1 diabetes compared to control group.[6]
- A study demonstrated that children with type 1 DM mentioned barriers for physical activity (eg, fear of hypoglycemia, loss of control of diabetes and low fitness). This study report significant improvement with parental support. [7]
Prognosis
Diabetes is a lifelong disease and there is no cure. Tight control of blood glucose can prevent or delay diabetes complications. But these problems can occur, even in people with good diabetes control.[8]
