Fulminant type 1 diabetes (fT1D) is a severe subtype of type 1 diabetes which progresses rapidly with islet cells destroyed almost completely within a short period of time. It is often characterized by flu-like or gastrointestinal symptoms at the onset with negative islet-associated autoantibodies, resulting in an absolute deficiency of endogenous insulin secretion. Poor prognosis can be caused by the significantly higher incidence of metabolic disorders (such as severe ion disorders and elevated serum pancreatic enzymes), acute and chronic complications if not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner. We herein describe an fT1D patient with gastric and urinary retention along with severe ion disturbance, whose laboratory tests revealed diabetic ketoacidosis, peripheral neuropathy, retinopathy, nephropathy, and hypoproteinemia.
