ICI-induced T1D (ICI-T1D) is a rare but serious complication that leads to complete insulin depletion. While diabetes-associated autoantibodies, such as glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (GADA), are typically absent in non-ICI-related fulminant T1D, they are relatively common in ICI-T1D. However, it is unclear whether these autoantibodies are detectable before the development of ICI-T1D. We present the case of a 61-year-old man with diabetes who had strongly positive GADA and preserved insulin secretion prior to initiating ICI therapy. Following treatment with durvalumab, he developed ICI-T1D, characterized by complete insulin depletion. Notably, the onset of ICI-T1D was precisely tracked on a daily basis, facilitating the timely initiation of insulin therapy and preventing diabetic ketoacidosis. Although the cost-effectiveness of pretreatment GADA screening and intensive monitoring remains a concern, early detection of diabetes-associated autoantibodies and vigilant glucose monitoring after ICI administration may help predict ICI-T1D and enable early therapeutic intervention.</p>","PeriodicalId":73540,"journal":{"name":"JCEM case reports","volume":"3 2","pages":"luae252"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11758142/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143049008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
