Abstract

Impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH) is present in around 25-40% of individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Herein, we present a case of an adolescent with T1DM and IAH who had worse corneal nerve parameters compared to a T1DM adolescent without IAH. Small fibre abnormalities detected by corneal confocal microscopy in an objective easy-to-perform non-invasive test might be a surrogate indicator of underlying autonomic dysfunction in T1DM and IAH.

角膜共聚焦显微镜识别1型糖尿病青少年结构小纤维异常和低血糖意识受损。

大约25-40%的1型糖尿病(T1DM)患者存在低血糖意识受损(IAH)。在此，我们报告了一例青少年T1DM和IAH，与没有IAH的T1DM青少年相比，他的角膜神经参数更差。角膜共聚焦显微镜在一种易于操作的客观无创测试中检测到的小纤维异常可能是T1DM和IAH潜在自主神经功能障碍的替代指标。
