This case study aimed to educate medical practitioners in developing and underdeveloped countries on how to treat diabetes mellitus and malnutrition. We came across a 10-year-old girl presented with signs and symptoms of edematous malnutrition and ketone resistant diabetes mellitus. Treated and discharged after spending 45 days in the hospital with higher dose of insulin, 2.8 IU/kg/day while Formula-75 malnutrition rehabilitation was implemented side to side. Lastly, we propose and conclude that efficient demand-based insulin management, and nutritional rehabilitation based on WHO malnutrition and diabetes diet guidelines for daily energy requirements are essential for MMDM.

Additionally, chronic GVHD can result in constrictive pericarditis (CP) due to the accumulation of fluid and scarring. A 25-year-old Iranian man developed CP 14 years after undergoing allogenic stem cell transplantation. Following inadequate response to medical therapy, he underwent a pericardiectomy. Pathological examination during follow-up revealed fibrosis and mild chronic inflammation. This report aims to add another case of cardiac manifestation associated with GVHD to the current literature.
