Abstract:
Fulminant type 1 diabetes is characterized by acute onset, no evidence of islet-related autoantibodies, low glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c) level at onset, and metabolic complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis. Fulminant type 1 diabetes development during pregnancy can result in severe maternal and fetal complications. Most of the patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes during pregnancy have been reported in Japan. In Korea, reports of fulminant type 1 diabetes during pregnancy are uncommon. We report a 36-year-old Korean woman with fulminant type 1 diabetes developed at 32 weeks of gestation who demonstrate a good outcome.
