Abstract
Fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1D) is a novel type of type 1 diabetes that is caused by extremely rapid destruction of the pancreatic β cells. Early diagnosis or prediction of FT1D is critical for the prevention or timely treatment of diabetes ketoacidosis, which can be life-threatening. Understanding its triggers or promoting factors plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of FT1D. In this review, we summarised the various triggering factors of FT1D, including susceptibility genes, immunological factors (cellular and humoural immunity), immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies, drug reactions with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms or drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome, pregnancy, viral infections, and vaccine inoculation. This review provides the basis for future research into the pathogenetic mechanisms that regulate FT1D development and progression to further improve the prognosis and clinical management of patients with FT1D.

Case report: A case of fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus after COVID-19 vaccination during treatment of advanced gastric cancer: pitfall in managing immune-related adverse events. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1264281. [PMID: 38173838 PMCID: PMC10762640 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1264281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
The occurrence of fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus as an adverse event during cancer immunotherapy has been previously reported. However, little is known about the causal relationship between the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination and fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus. A 60-year-old man with advanced gastric cancer, receiving S-1 + oxaliplatin and nivolumab therapy, followed by nab-paclitaxel + ramucirumab as a second-line treatment, with steroid supplementation for complications of hypopituitarism-induced hypoadrenocorticism, was administered a COVID-19 vaccine after three cycles of nab-paclitaxel + ramucirumab. Two days later, he developed severe malaise and anorexia, which required emergency admission to our hospital for suspected adrenal insufficiency. Despite increasing steroids, his general condition changed suddenly after 12 hours leading to his death. Histopathological analysis of autopsy samples revealed loss of the islets of Langerhans, indicating fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus. We failed to recognize the onset of fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus because its symptoms were similar to those of adrenal insufficiency. The number of reports on the onset of fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus after COVID-19 vaccination has been increasing, and in this case, the onset occurred on the second day after COVID-19 vaccination, suggesting an association between vaccination and fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus. Clinicians should be aware of the risk of fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus, although rare, after COVID-19 vaccination.

Abstract
The COVID-19 vaccination has been effective in preventing a lot of complications caused by SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. Meanwhile, diabetes mellitus, one of the root causes of many co-morbidities, exhibited itself during the COVID-19 pandemic and after COVID-19 vaccination. Diabetes mellitus introduced itself in a new perspective, leading to a variety of presentations and causing a significant number of emergency admissions. Many of the pre-diabetes patients with no prior history of diabetes developed fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) after the COVID-19 vaccination. Some cases of conversion of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) into T1DM were reported. Some prediabetes/diabetes patients presented with the development of diabetic ketoacidosis after COVID-19 vaccination, whereas some previously healthy people with no relation to diabetes also developed acute exacerbations of new-onset T1DM or T2DM along with lethal ketoacidosis. The purpose of writing this review was to explore what kind of people are more prone to develop new-onset diabetes or diabetic complications, including diabetic ketoacidosis, the typical presentation of these patients, possible mechanisms that lead to these complications occurring after the COVID-19 vaccination, how they can be managed, and whether there is a good prognosis after management or not.

Abstract
The ravages of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) worldwide have sped up the development of relevant vaccines, which is accompanied by public concerns over possible adverse effects. We report a rare case of a 39-year-old woman who suffered from severe hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis with normal hemoglobin A1c four days after SARS-CoV-2 protein subunit vaccine, which is consistent with the diagnosis of fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1D). She received insulin therapy and recovered after 24 days from onset of the symptoms. This is the first case of new-onset FT1D after SARS-CoV-2 protein subunit vaccination and one of only six that developed after any form of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. We hope to raise awareness of this potential adverse consequence and recommend careful monitoring after vaccination in patients even without a medical history of diabetes.

Abstract
BackgroundDysregulation of glucose metabolism has been linked to SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition, the occurrence of new onset diabetes mellitus, including fulminant type 1 diabetes, has been reported after SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination.Methods and resultsA young Chinese woman in her last trimester of pregnancy presented with an abrupt progression of hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis, but with a near-normal glycohemoglobin level following paucisymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. The low C peptide levels, both fasting and postprandial, reflected profound insulin deficiency in the setting of negative islet autoantibody testing, consistent with a diagnosis of fulminant type 1 diabetes. Ketoacidosis and hyperglycemia quickly improved following the introduction of insulin therapy, but not the β cell function. The patient received treatment with insulin pump therapy after being discharged, and the first follow-up revealed a well-controlled glucose profile.ConclusionsNew-onset FT1D can occur after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our report raises awareness of this rare but serious situation, promoting early recognition and management of FT1D during the COVID-19 pandemic.
