Case Report: Markedly Long-Term Preservation of Pancreatic β‐Cell Function in a Subject With Elderly Onset of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Showing High-Titer Autoimmune Antibodies for Over 4 Years

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is mainly triggered by autoimmune β-cell destruction, usually leading to absolute insulin deficiency. Regarding the speed of β-cell destruction, there are large variations depending on age. In some adult cases, sufficient β-cell function is sometimes retained for a re...
