Post traumatic type 1 diabetes mellitus (insulin-dependent): a case report

Abstract: Most researchers have studied the influence of life stress as precipitating the onset of type 1 diabetes, but as the relationship between severe psychological trauma and diabetes has been a rarely studied subject in paediatric age group. Here, we report the case of a 10-year-old Libyan boy, without personal or familial diabetes mellitus history, which is presented to Moroccan medico-surgical field hospital, installed in Tunisia for refugees of the Libyan revolution, for type 1 diabetes appeared immediately aft… Show more

“…Multiple studies point to the relationship between stress and personal loss incurred in natural disasters and conflict, and a subsequent rise in occurrences of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and diabetes mellitus (DM) among survivors (34,47,(68)(69)(70). One such retrospective cohort study by An et al (68) investigated the long-term impact of stresses from the 1976 Tangshan earthquake on the occurrences of impaired IFG and DM among survivors and found that the incidences of IFG and DM for the exposure groups were significantly higher than that for the control group (P = 0.043 for IFG; P = 0.042 for diabetes), with those who had lost relatives exhibiting a higher diabetes incidence than those who had not lost relatives.…”

“…Plusieurs études ont pu faire un rapprochement entre l’état de stress post-traumatique et la survenue d’un diabète post-traumatique. Karrouri R ont rapporté le cas clinique d’un enfant Tunisien victime d’un état de stress post-traumatique secondaire au conflit Libyen sur les frontières tuniso-libyennes ayant engendré dans les jours qui suivent le diagnostic d’un diabète de type 1 [5]. Ce cas souligne la prépondérance de cette maladie dans les zones de conflits armés qui sont les lieux de lourds facteurs de stress psychiques et physiques.…”

“…Le rôle du stress dans la pathogénie du diabète de type 1 est un sujet toujours controversé [2-4]. Bien que certains gènes soient impliqués dans la susceptibilité génétique à ce type de diabète, certains auteurs évoquent l’hypothèse que l’exposition à certains évènements environnementaux pourrait précipiter l’apparition de la maladie, voire en être la cause [5]. Plusieurs auteurs ont étudié les facteurs de stress antérieurs et concomitants à l’apparition du diabète de type 1 et la plupart ont pu justifier une relation significative entre les facteurs de stress et l’apparition de la maladie, ce qui a fait naitre la possibilité d’un nouveau sous type du diabète auto-immune: le diabète post-traumatique [2, 5, 6].…”
