Article Synopsis
- Metabolic syndrome (MS) is increasingly recognized in Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients, which may raise the risk for diabetes-related complications, prompting this study to assess its prevalence over time in individuals with T1DM.* -
- Conducted in North India, the study involved 161 T1DM patients and found that 19.2% had MS at baseline; those with MS showed a higher likelihood of developing microvascular complications such as retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy.* -
- After 5 years of follow-up, the prevalence of MS decreased to 13%, highlighting the need for early detection and targeted interventions to mitigate associated health risks for patients with T1DM.*
A 45-year-old man presented with a 3-month history of involuntary weight loss, anorexia, postural dizziness and intermittent fever. On investigation, he was found to have parathyroid hormone (PTH)-independent hypercalcaemia, with negative workup for 25-hydroxyvitamin D or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D excess, thyrotoxicosis, multiple myeloma and bony metastases. On further evaluation, he was detected to have primary hypoadrenalism with bilateral adrenal enlargement, secondary to adrenal histoplasmosis.
