To read the full abstract: Diabetes Care. 2018;41:311-317Some researchers assume that the etiology of T1DM is distinct from that of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. T1DM is characterized by autoimmune phenomena leading to the destruction of pancreatic islets and most importantly of beta-cells. Genetic factors are thought to influence the likelihood of autoimmune phenomena developing into overt autoimmune di...

To read the full abstract: PLoS One. 2018;13:e0193992Enterovirus infections in children are associated with an almost 10-fold higher risk of T1DM. In these families in parents and siblings enterovirus can frequently be detected by PCR. However, the role of enteroviral infections in the pathogenesis of T1DM is complex. Although enterovirus infections are less prevalent T1DM incidence increa...

To read the full abstract: Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol. 2018;6:122-129T1DM formerly called juvenile or insulin dependent diabetes has so far been considered to be a disease of children adolescents and young adults according to traditional teaching. LADA or late autoimmune diabetes of the adult is known since several decades, however the older the patient with new onset diabetes the more li...
