The complexities of managing a newborn with 6q24 transient neonatal diabetes mellitus: a case report.

Objectives: This case report delves into the intricate management of a newborn with transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM), shedding light on the complexities and challenges in treatment decisions.

Case Presentation: Born prematurely with a low birth weight and a maternal background of gestational diabetes, the infant developed hyperglycaemia necessitating intravenous insulin therapy. Subsequent genetic testing confirmed 6q24-TNDM, due to the uniparental disomy of the whole of chromosome 6.

Evaluation of glycaemic status in young people with clinical insulin resistance; fasting glucose, fasting insulin or an oral glucose tolerance test?

Objective: It is important to identify young people with prediabetes for early intervention. However, it is unclear how to best screen overweight and obese young people for prediabetes. The objective of this study was to compare fasting indices with an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in diagnosing prediabetes.
