PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched until June 19, 2023. Primary outcomes were hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), insulin dose, insulin dose adjusted A1c (IDAA1c), blood glucose (B-glu) at 90 min during Mixed Meal Tolerance Test (MMTT), C-peptide area under the curve (AUC), and C-peptide.

Additionally, two studies with 164 patients examined the same diet comparison in those with T1DM and concurrent CD. A comparison between T1DM with CD and T1DM alone, using a GFD, was conducted in two studies encompassing 50 patients.

A 47-year-old man presented with polydipsia, polyuria, memory loss, and mental fog 8 weeks after an episode of mild COVID-19. His past personal and family medical history were unremarkable. Biochemical evaluation was relevant for low urine osmolality and a 24-hour urine volume of 10,350 mL. Basal anterior pituitary evaluation was normal. A water deprivation test was started and interrupted after 2 hours due to the development of hypernatremia, high serum osmolality, and low urine osmolality. Urine osmolality significantly increased after intranasal desmopressin 20 μg. Contrast-enhanced pituitary MRI was suggestive of infundibulo-neurohypophysitis.
