Patients with metabolic syndrome are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes and for chronic kidney disease. Metformin is the oral medication of choice for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in the absence of chronic kidney disease. There is a need for another oral glucose lowering agent for use in metabolic syndrome with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. We submit the first report of erlotinib, a once-daily oral medication for the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer associated with specific genetic mutations, appearing to eliminate the need for insulin in insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes associated with metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease. The mechanism by which erlotinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor may improve glycaemic control is unknown. Potential possibilities are explored.
