I'm asking you about the case of a 44 year old women diagnosed 10 yers ago with Grave's disease under remision in the last years (no treatment) whose simptoms reappeared in the last 4 weeks together with higher glycaemic values (126-220-240 mg/dl fasting). The visit to the diabetologist revealed a glycemic value of 369 mg/dl (7 pm), in the afternoon. She complained of polidypsia, dry mouth, weight loss. Insulinotherapy was initiated with glargine, ten units at bedtime (glycemic value before aministration was 169) after reiceiving 6 units of aspart imediately (7 pm). Next day a fasting value of 140 mg/dl. Bedtime value (2 hours postprandial ) 269. After 10 U glargine, fasting value 120 mg/dl. Glycemic variation are very important and depend on the thyroid status.
What is your opnion? Is this a temporary glycemic instability, type 2 or type 1 diabetes? Anti GAD, C peptide should help us I think...
