β¦ Synopsis
A 9-year-old girl with Rett syndrome presented with typical symptoms of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Upon investigation she was found to have a primary respiratory alkalosis associated with diabetes ketoacidaemia. Once non-ketotic normoglycaemia was achieved her respiratory alkalosis persisted. This was felt to be due to an abnormal breathing pattern of hyperventilation punctuated by apnoeas which is associated with Rett syndrome.

Presymptomatic autoantibody markers of insulin-dependent (Type 1) diabetes mellitus (IDDM) are less well characterized in adults than in children. We quantitated anti-GAD, anti-ICA512 and ICA by titration to endpoint and compared frequencies and levels in 139 Finnish women from whom 390 serum sample
It is widely accepted that alcohol consumption by patients with insulin-dependent (Type 1) diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of hypoglycaemia. This association has been the subject of few studies, however, and there is not much evidence to support advice currently given to patie

The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of ventricular late potentials derived from signal-averaged ECG in patients with IDDM with and without diabetic neuropathy. Eighty patients with IDDM but without evidence of cardiac disease and 80 age-matched healthy control subjects were inv
