Background: Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus can be associated to an auto-immune disease. A similar association may be seen in the neonate.
Case Report: A one-day-old boy was admitted for ketoacidosis due to diabetes mellitus. Investigation showed that he also suffered from an auto-immune enteropathy with several types of autoantibodies, particularly anti-enterocytes antibodies. Immunotherapy was ineffective. Multi-organ lesions developed subsequently, particularly a pulmonary disease responsible for the death at the age of 2 years.
Conclusion: Physiopathology of this association remains unclear and the report of further cases should help improve our knowledge.

Evidence regarding the relationship between free triiodothyronine (FT3) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the association between FT3 and LDL-C levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who exhibit normal thyroid function. Between June 2022 and October 2023, a total of 3011 inpatients with T2DM and euthyroid status were continuously and non-selectively recruited from a Chinese hospital.

Hearing loss (HL) is a prevalent health concern with a significant impact on society and the economy. Several factors contribute to the development of hearing impairment, with noise overexposure being the primary culprit. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is also a factor in hearing impairment, and studies have shown a positive correlation between DM and HL; however, the exact causal relationship and pathogenesis remain contentious.
