Empagliflozin-Associated Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis Masked by Urinary Tract Infection.

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy in slowing the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), managing conditions such as congestive heart failure (CHF), and reducing cardiovascular and overall mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, their use is associated with complications, including euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (euDKA), genital fungal infections, and urinary tract infections (UTIs). Although rare, complications like euDKA can lead to serious consequences if not promptly addressed, as illustrated by this case report of a 90-year-old man with ischemic cardiomyopathy and type 2 diabetes who developed both euDKA and a UTI while on SGLT2 inhibitor therapy.

The Discrepancy Between Hemoglobin A1c and Glucose Management Indicators in 26 Patients Treated With Continuous Glucose Monitoring in an Internal Medicine Residency Clinic.

We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study between 2020 and 2023 in 26 patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) who were using 3-4 injections per day of insulin and were monitored by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). The goal of this retrospective observational cohort study is to compare these two metrics in an internal medicine community primary care residency clinic. We used CGM devices, Dexcom G6 and G7, and Freestyle Libre 3.

A Rare Case of Nodular Mantle Cell Lymphoma of the Gastrointestinal Tract Discovered During a Routine Colonoscopy With a Positive Response to R-CHOP Chemotherapy Regimen.

This report describes the case of a 73-year-old female patient who presented with abdominal symptoms. A colonoscopy identified a cecal mass confirmed as mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Imaging showed extensive lymph node involvement.

The Effectiveness of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Devices in Managing Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus: A Retrospective Study.

This retrospective study aimed to assess the effectiveness of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices in managing uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (DM). The study cohort comprised 25 patients with uncontrolled diabetes who received treatment at an internal medicine resident clinic. The objective was to evaluate the impact of transitioning from self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) to CGM devices on glycemic control, as measured by changes in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, average blood glucose levels, hypoglycemic events, time spent within the target blood sugar range, and glucose variability.

Unmasking Type 1 Diabetes in Adults: Insights From Two Cases Revealing Misdiagnosis As Type 2 Diabetes, With Emphasis on Autoimmunity and Continuous Glucose Monitoring.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is often misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in adults, resulting in inadequate treatment and poor disease management. In this report, we present two patients initially misdiagnosed with T2DM for 14 and four years, respectively, leading to complications like diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Reevaluation confirmed adult-onset T1DM through antibody tests.
