Article Synopsis
- A 17-year-old girl with no previous health issues went to the emergency room for vomiting, shortness of breath, and rapid heartbeat, leading to a diagnosis of new onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) after finding high blood glucose levels.
- During her hospital stay, she experienced unexpected low blood sugar episodes, excess urination with glucose, and low sodium levels, prompting further investigation.
- Elevated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels revealed Addison's disease, marking a rare case of T1DM and Addison's disease occurring together, underscoring the need for a broad diagnostic approach in unusual cases.
