Abstract
Introduction: In this article, the importance of holistic care is highlighted trough the case of a 10-year-old female with diabetes type 1 presenting with recurrent severe hypoglycemia.
Case presentation: A 10-year-old female, with type 1 diabetes mellitus for 2 years, was hospitalized because of persistent hypoglycemia. At time of presentation, the patient was getting her insulin through an automated insulin delivery device. She came to the emergency room because of severe hypoglycemia despite adequate administration of glucagon intranasal and oral sugar solutions. The patient was hospitalized to resolve the hypoglycemia and to investigate the cause of the persistent hypoglycemia. Extensive further investigation was performed without result.
Conclusion: After several conversations with psychologists, the patient admitted having manipulated the insulin pump resulting in auto-induced persistent and recurrent life-threatening hypoglycemia. Through camera monitoring, the team was able to confirm the manipulation.
期刊介绍:
The mission of ''Hormone Research in Paediatrics'' is to improve the care of children with endocrine disorders by promoting basic and clinical knowledge. The journal facilitates the dissemination of information through original papers, mini reviews, clinical guidelines and papers on novel insights from clinical practice. Periodic editorials from outstanding paediatric endocrinologists address the main published novelties by critically reviewing the major strengths and weaknesses of the studies.
