Abstract

Fulminant type 1 diabetes is a subtype of idiopathic type 1 diabetes and is characterized by a short duration of symptom onset and an absence of anti-islet autoantibodies. It has not been common since first reported in Japan, and only two childhood cases are reported in Korea. Malnutrition-related diabetes is associated with malnutrition and characterized by low body weight and hyperglycemia without ketoacidosis. Here we report a case of malnutrition-related fulminant diabetes in a 15-year-old girl with Sturge-Weber syndrome.
