Abstract: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life - threatening complication and must be diagnosed and treated promptly and aggressively. The classic triad of DKA is: Hyperglycemia (blood glucose (BG) > 250 mg/dl: Anion gap metabolic acidosis (pH < 7.30 and bicarbonate < 18 mEq/L): And ketonemia. With Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the sodium - glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), DKA can occur with BG levels below 200 mg/dl and has been defined a

Abstract: Hyperinsulinemia literally means high serum insulin level (Hyper: Excess, over, beyond, exaggerated). The Pediatric Endocrine Society recommends measuring serum insulin in the evaluation of persistent hypoglycemia in neonates. However, the serum insulin might not be high in cases of hypoglycemia secondary to hyperinsulinism- thus it is a false expectation. The plasma insulin concentration is affected by its pharmacokinetics. A large fraction of the pancreatic insulin is cleared by the liver at first bypass. Therefore, the insulin concentration measured in peripheral plasma may be up to 90% lower than the initial peak concentration

Abstract: The progression from pre-diabetes to overt type 2 diabetes is largely attributed to β-cell dysfunction and reduced insulin responsiveness. Exercise improves β-cell function in type 2 diabetics, however in pre-diabetic populations there is no data to support a similar response to acute high intensity exercise. Nine individuals diagnosed
