Article Synopsis
- Diazoxide is a medication used to treat hyperinsulinism, but it can cause hyperglycemia and in rare cases, a serious condition known as hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS).
- A case study describes a 2-year-old girl with Kabuki syndrome who developed HHS while on diazoxide, presenting with fever and lethargy, and confirmed as influenza B positive.
- After hospital treatment, which included stopping diazoxide and giving fluids, her hyperglycemia improved and she remained stable for 2 weeks before needing diazoxide again for hypoglycemia, highlighting the importance of quickly identifying and treating diazoxide-related HHS.

The aims of this study were to describe diabetes technology use (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion [CSII] and continuous glucose monitoring [CGM]) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and assess the mediating effects of each technology on the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and glycemic management. Single-center retrospective cross-sectional study of children aged 0-18 years ( = 813) with T1D and valid postal codes between 2018 and 2020.
