Abstract
ABSTRACT Diabetic neuropathy in children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes mellitus is rare and is usually subclinical and a complication of the late diabetes period. A 17-year-old boy admitted with a right foot drop of sudden onset was diagnosed with peroneal nerve palsy. He had had osmotic polyuria, polydipsia and weight loss for the past 2 months; his blood glucose was 25 mmol/L (<7.8), HbA1c 15.2% (4.0–5.6) and vitamin B12 125 pg/ml (180–914). The peroneal nerve palsy resolved within 3 months with blood glucose regulation and B12 supplementation. Diabetes should be borne in mind in the differential diagnosis of unusual cases of mononeuropathy. Abbreviations: DCCTS: Diabetes Control and Complications Trial Study; DM: diabetes mellitus; DN: diabetic neuropathy; GAD: glutamic acid decarboxylase; PN: peripheral neuropathy; T1DM: Type 1 diabetes mellitus.
期刊介绍：
Paediatrics and International Child Health is an international forum for all aspects of paediatrics and child health in developing and low-income countries. The international, peer-reviewed papers cover a wide range of diseases in childhood and examine the social and cultural settings in which they occur. Although the main aim is to enable authors in developing and low-income countries to publish internationally, it also accepts relevant papers from industrialised countries. The journal is a key publication for all with an interest in paediatric health in low-resource settings.
