SUN-205 Pseudo-Cushing Syndrome Secondary to Malnutrition and Gluco-Toxicity Mimicking Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

摘要

Background: Pseudo-Cushing Syndrome (PCS) is an under-recognized clinical entity that is a reversible consequence of alterations in cortisol production. We present a case of a patient with presumed type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) who was found to have PCS secondary to malnutrition. Once the nutritional status normalized, the patient’s glycemic control remarkably improved and became well-controlled on metformin alone.
