It is well recognized that patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1D), originally characterized by Professor Imagawa and Hanafusa et al, require expeditious diagnosis and successive intensive care. Inspired by the notion that incidence of FT1D in Caucasians has been extremely rare as compared to Asians, Dr. Mori and colleague propose the index beneficial for the snap diagnosis of FT1D in the November issue. Such a valuable suggestion is strongly anticipated to save lives of previously-undiagnosed FT1D worldwide.
