Fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), characterized by extremely rapid progression of hyperglycemia and ketosis/ketoacidosis due to destruction of pancreatic β-cells, has been established as a subtype of idiopathic T1DM since 2000. 1 Clinical outcomes and pancreas histology of fulminant T1DM during short periods after its onset have been reported; however, those in the chronic phase remain unclear. 2, 3 Here, we report an autopsy case 23 years after the onset of fulminant T1DM.A 58-year-old diabetic female was admitted to our institute because of appetite loss after deterioration of depression. Onset of her diabetes was at the age of 35 years, when she was at 33 weeks of gestation, and the clinical course of her pregnancy had been uneventful until the sudden development of hyperglycemia (> 300 mg/dl) and ketosis with flu-like symptoms. Her hemoglobin (Hb) A1c (NGSP) level at the onset of diabetes was 6.9% and her urinary C-peptide excretion was less than 10 µg/day. Although anti-islet cell antibody (ICAAb) was negative, diagnosis of idiopathic T1DM was made at that time because of the insulin-dependent state. Tests had since been conducted several times for antiglutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GADAb) and antiinsulinoma-associated antigen-2 antibody (IA-2Ab), but all of the results were negative. At 39 years of age, she developed depression, which considerably reduced her physical activity. Her blood glucose control had been poor (HbA1c: 8∼ 11%) and she had repetitive infection episodes. One year before admission, she was diagnosed as having silent myocardial ischemia and peripheral arterial disease, which were treated by intravascular angioplasty.
