AB  - Type  1  diabetes,  an  autoimmune  disease,  is  characterized  by  an  abrupt  and  frequently  complete  decline  in  insulin  production.  Type  2  diabetes  is  marked  by  increasing  insulin  resistance  and  occurs  in  overweight  adolescents  with  a  strong  genetic  predisposition.  Diabetic  ketoacidosis  (DKA)  is  the  leading  cause  of  mortality  in  patients  with  diabetes  <24  years  of  age,  and  cerebral  edema  is  the  leading  cause  of  mortality  in  DKA.
