The pancreas is an exocrine and endocrine organ that is related to the stomach, duodenum, colon and spleen. Fatty degeneration of the pancreas is common with aging. The entire pancreas may be replaced by fat and the patient may have no clinical symptoms. We here presented a case of a 28 years old male known case of type 2 diabetes diagnosed 3 months back, who was admitted to our hospital for diffuse abdominal pain for the past 2 months, which was non-colicky in nature associated with nausea, anorexia, diarrhea and generalized weakness, no aggravating or relieving factors. With this scenario, he was investigated further for abdominal pain and found to have pancreatic lipomatosis.

The case report describes the potential role of real-time Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) in identifying and managing a patient with hyperglycemia. This 55-years-old male patient with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) was presented to the clinic with weakness, increased urinary frequency, with constipation for the past 3 months. The patient was a known case of T2DM for 10 years, along with dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity. The profile obtained from AGP revealed glucose fluctuations with post-prandial excursions. Consequently, the patient’s treatment regimen was changed. The use of glimepiride was discontinued, and the patient was recommended with voglibose 0.2 mg bid with two meals, metformin 100 mg + dapagliflozin 10 mg combination with morning meals, and metformin 1000 mg with evening meals. The treatment for hypertension and dyslipidemia was continued. This case study indicates that CGM can help improve our understanding of glycemic patterns and can have a beneficial effect on glycemic control.

AbstractBackground. Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a hereditary metabolic aberration resulting from a partial defect in the activity of the enzyme porphobilinogen deaminase (PBDG) during the course of haeme synthesis. Diabetic metabolism may attenuate the episodes of porphyria related symptoms.Case report. Our subject (male; age 75) was hospitalized one week after onset of diffuse abdominal pain and constipation and overt type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The patient’s long history of alcohol intake with acute alcohol consumption 12 days before admission, in the presence of abdominal pain with spectacular remission after oral administration of 5% glucose solution, accompanied by a 2.5 fold increase of urinary porphobilinogen with normal values for porphyrins and urinary lead, and normal full blood count establishes the diagnosis of AIP.Conclusion We describe a case of AIP probably triggered by acute alcohol consumption, with neurovisceral dominant clinical picture mimicking an acute abdomen. Late disease occurrence as first acute episode at older age accompanied by overt type 2 DM, suggests a latent type of AIP in our patient. The appropriate recognition of latent AIP cases in proband’s offspring prevents unnecessary blind surgery when repeated episodes of unexplained abdominal pain occur.

Scorpion Stings

Introduction. Scorpion stings occur mainly in spring and summer, with an estimate of 1.2 million cases per year worldwide. About 300,000 poisonings occur within a year, primarily affecting children and adults older than 65 years. In 2019, Guanajuato (Mexico) ranked third in poisoning by scorpion sting with a total of 43,913 cases. The intoxication grades are three where the signs and symptoms are varied. There are two types of antivenom in the Mexican market, and we use Alacramyn® in our case. Case presentation. A 70-year-old female —with grade 1 scorpion sting poisoning, 30 minutes of evolution, with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure— received two vials of antivenom according to current regulations. She presented transient vagal reaction and subsequent transient pain in the cervical region that radiates to the sacral region. At discharge, there are no data compatible with scorpion sting poisoning. Conclusions. Transient pain in the cervical region to the sacral region may be secondary to an anxiety crisis, hypersensitivity to IgG, or secondary reaction to administration in less time than recommended by the provider. The benefit was greater than the reactions that occurred.

Prior to 1985, type 2 diabetes was a disease of adults. Simultaneously with the global epidemic of childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes has increased in children. Initially, the presentation of small case series of type 2 diabetes in children was met with skepticism. As the number and size of the case series grew and the first long-term outcomes of end-stage complications in young adults appeared in the literature, the international community took notice with guarded interest. Type 2 diabetes disproportionately affects the children of specific ethnic groups and from disadvantaged socioeconomic environments, especially Indigenous populations. The past decade has seen unprecedented intense global interest in the etiology, treatment, and prevention of type 2 diabetes in children.
