Stress-Induced Diabetic Ketoacidosis Due to Transient Beta Cell Stunning in a Youth with T2DM
17 Oct, 24
A 15-year-old boy was admitted with frequent urination, fatigue, nausea, and weight loss.
Diagnosed with stress-induced DKA, he was treated with saline, insulin, and metformin.
Post-treatment, insulin production improved, leading to a T2DM diagnosis.
This case suggests that insulin deficiency was due to reversible beta cell stunning, unlike the permanent loss in T1DM.
